Tanya Morgan, Lee Sissing - Transplant Anthem lyrics

For all my people worldwide
Just trying to see the world
And how wide it is you know

Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems new York, LA
Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems atlanta, Houston

The rents keep raising up
And you know it’s because of us
They gentrify where we reside so
Brownstones is now gone
Just condos we can’t afford or
Dream of calling home
Calling home’s depressing
Full of tales from cats that
Ain't learned they lesson
Or you missing all the events


Birthdays and graduations
Make you wonder why the fuck
You ever even left 'em
But they just a plane ride away
Or short drive depending where you stay
'Cuz it’s no place like home love
It or leave it alone
You can love it or leave it
If it ain’t where you belong
Just pack ya bag and motivate
When the change comes
You gotta meet it halfway
Free spirit's not many understand
'em but i do
So I had to write a transplant anthem for you

Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems las Vegas, Chicago
Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems detroit, San Fran

God forbid you move for a chick
But God bless it all regardless
'Cus you need it now more than ever just
To make it to the first phase
'Cus now you all alone
In your girlfriends state
And you gotta hang with her friends
And they cool but you wish
You had some more friends
And your friends posting Facebook photos
Of home’s going ons
Still tag you to the flick like
"i wish you wasn’t gone"
But, you left for greener pastures
And didn’t plan for disasters
Tryna master your own fate
Keeping you from home
Aain’t nothing wrong with being gone
If you think I’m wrong
You can pack you shit and go or
Find a new city and leave em both bruh
Free spirit's not many understand em but i do
So i had to write a transplant anthem for you

Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems tokyo, and London
Gotta go, gotta go big city of dreams
But everything out there ain't
Always what it seems toronto, Berlin

You’re on my mind, until I get back
(Cincinatti) until I get back (NC)
I know I been gone a long time
But, I’m coming back and DC, Brooklyn
You’re on my mind, until I get back
(Cinci) until I get back (NC)
I know I been gone a long time
But, I’m coming back and Maryland, Brooklyn
