Richie Cunning - City Boy lyrics
[Richie Cunning - City Boy lyrics]
On some more power ballad shit, right?
I'm surgical with this, man
This is Steve Perry Chop Suey over here
C'mon
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
Yeah, I been rhyming since the mic
Stand was three feet high
Music always got me hyped, man, Freaky Tah
Number one on my priority list
Was rap tapes, and, uhh
Everything else was tied for last place
At the record store
Back on the hunt for hot beats
If I had enough for two
Skip lunch and cop three
I was on one, made up my mind
So I stayed on my grind
And tryna get over the hump like Shock G
Got a little recognition
Still looking for more can't kick it
I'm tryna keep my foot in the door
I done shows so packed
I crowd surfed in a bar
I done shows so wack
I left the merch in the car but fuck it
The train's coming ain't no keeping it back
You don't wanna get hit
Then don't sleep on the tracks
'Cos it don't stop, and it don't stop
It goes on and on and on and on
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
Yo, it's kinda hard taking the
Dream and making it real
Cos, uh, paying my dues ain't paying my bills
Spacing out at my job
Making sure that my verse dope clock out
Hit the booth and record in my work clothes
Dr Frankenstein in the lab
Working on a monster addicted to this shit
Still searching for a sponsor
Hurting like you wouldn't believe
Watching rappers
I know starting to blow like
"that coulda been me!"
When the album was done
I was set on my mission
Steady trippin' like all I had to
Do was get 'em to listen
Spent the grip on the package
And I was over-prepared
Sent my demos out, guess what, nobody cared
Tough cookies, them days are done
These punk labels
Done missed the train in more ways than one
'Cos it don't stop, and it don't stop
It goes on and on and on and on
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
I'm surgical with this, man
This is Steve Perry Chop Suey over here
C'mon
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
You're the city boy, city boy, ci-ci-city boy
Took the midnight train, go anywhere
