C-Mob, MMP - This Town lyrics

I hate this town it's brought me down again
But, I can finally see the light
I hate this place
It's such a waste in the air
This time I'm gonna get it right
The sun don't shine like it used to shine
But, I can finally see the light
The stars at night are not as
Bright as they could have been
This time I'm gonna get it right

Welcome to Marion
The place where opportunity's lacking
Everybody feels like we're all
Doomed to be trapped
No job so we hustle just to double a buck
All there is for us to do
Is cause trouble and fuck
Peoplе say that we should pray and hope
That one day it'll bе fine
But factories keep closing and
The job steadily declined so we grind
Gotta pay the bills there ain't no free time
Back in the day it seemed so
Simple wish I could just rewind
Some people wanna see me shot in the grill
If the bullet doesn't kill me
Then a hospital will
Popping the pill just to try
To cope and get by
This shit is ignorant all you can
Do is hope it will die
In a second I'mma dunk
Get to checking all the chumps
And I reckon I'll get drunk
Through this economic slump
And the chances I have might even
Be less than it seems
This life's a struggle but I
Still be manifesting my dreams

I hate this town it's brought me down again
But, I can finally see the light
I hate this place
It's such a waste in the air
This time I'm gonna get it right
The sun don't shine like it used to shine
But, I can finally see the light
The stars at night are not as
Bright as they could have been
This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm a hardworking father of three
Something that most men wouldn't bother to be
Obviously there's drama but don't
Start it with me a lot of cats think they
Gangsta but I hardly agree
Why you faking acting flashy
Real cats could give a fuck less
This town is looking hopeless and
I'm focusing on success
And what's best is much stress
Cause for time I'm just pressed
My mind said "keep grinding"
My body said "you must rest"
And this town breeds trifling cats
Even your best friend'll put a
Fucking knife in your back
You learned that life is like that
You either fight or get jacked
And that's in light of the fact
We're homicidal and strapped
Despite the bullshit I've been handed I'm
Still standing on my two feet
I've come a long way from peddling
Weed off a boot street
I've lived my life and learned from
My mistakes in the past
Now I'mma get it right and trample
All the snakes in the grass

I hate this town it's brought me down again
But, I can finally see the light
I hate this place
It's such a waste in the air
This time I'm gonna get it right
The sun don't shine like it used to shine
But, I can finally see the light
The stars at night are not as
Bright as they could have been
This time I'm gonna get it right
