[Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Brian Reith - The City lyrics]
Man I love my city
And I love my life it ain't always pretty
And life is too short to be actin' all petty
And I ain't got it all
But I always got plenty
So why should I complain
When I could just pray if I
Ain't got it in the bank
And I could just pray if I'm in pain
And I got my umbrella here
From standing' in the rain
That's protection throughout the
Stormy nights when life is crazy that's
When His glory's bright
Then I'm reminded through all the pain
As much as I love livin'
That there's more to life
When everything is okay
Still looking forward to the day
When I'm not a stranger and
There is no danger in the City of Hope
I put on for my city
And I live in the 'burbs
Where the streets ain't pretty
And got a little land I ain't tryna be Diddy
But, I'm grateful to the Father
For everything He give me
'Cause everything ain't bad
And life could be good if
We on the right path
And she could be cool if
If we sitting' on cash
Throwing good for yourself when your
Foot is on the gas
But the good life still ain't good enough
And life is full of things
That are pulling' us
But, if we keep our eyes to the
Skies where Jesus keep looking' up
When everything is okay
Still looking forward to the day
When I'm not a stranger and
There is no danger in the City of Hope
Three gates in the West
Three gates in the East
Three more in the North another
Three in the South twenty-four at His feet
I could hear the critics say this is in vain
But, I guarantee that it's not you
Say this has better stop
Jesus got up from the grave
That there is the proof
That one day me and you
Will go down into the grave
And never bein' afraid
'Cause we will all do the same
If you're here tonight put your hand up high
You don't ever have to cry we'll
Meet him up in the sky and forever be alive
In the City of Hope
And I love my life it ain't always pretty
And life is too short to be actin' all petty
And I ain't got it all
But I always got plenty
So why should I complain
When I could just pray if I
Ain't got it in the bank
And I could just pray if I'm in pain
And I got my umbrella here
From standing' in the rain
That's protection throughout the
Stormy nights when life is crazy that's
When His glory's bright
Then I'm reminded through all the pain
As much as I love livin'
That there's more to life
When everything is okay
Still looking forward to the day
When I'm not a stranger and
There is no danger in the City of Hope
I put on for my city
And I live in the 'burbs
Where the streets ain't pretty
And got a little land I ain't tryna be Diddy
But, I'm grateful to the Father
For everything He give me
'Cause everything ain't bad
And life could be good if
We on the right path
And she could be cool if
If we sitting' on cash
Throwing good for yourself when your

But the good life still ain't good enough
And life is full of things
