Down For My City Lyrics

You know days in the city like this
It's when they need you the most
Gotta hold it down
Gotta put the city on my back
Put the city on the map
You feel me?
It's all facts
Fasho
Yeah
It's easy to take for granted
What you not quite understanding
Cause I'm not the one that's chose
I'm more like the one demanded
I'm the one reaching goals
My mind is always expanding
I fear what comes with success but I promise I'll never panic
I won't
Yeah
How everybody claiming wins like they ordered one
Cause I ain't ask to be the best, I'm just my fathers son
You gotta fill your heart with love before you borrow one
But I done gave the city mine like I'm Coach Carter's son
Before you solve the problem
Gotta make sure you not causing one
Incase you missed the goat
You in the presence of one
No, I can't trade my legacy for pleasures and fun
Yeah
I told my dad don't give the personal
Send 'em to the business line
But tell em it's not personal
Unless they adding zeros and a comma
Man that's just not how my circle roll
Riding for my niggas and my city
Moving purposeful
I gotta hold it down for my city yeah
I gotta hold it down for my niggas yeah
Forget all of the ones who ain't with it yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
Yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
So don't get too lost in the moment
You gotta keep it rolling now
You only got one time, one time, one time
One time till you miss it
You only got one time, one time, one time
One time till I
Show you I lead the way
Niggas gone judge the book
It don't matter who wrote the page
Cause they follow my old lines
And they treat 'em like road signs
But they really like gold mines and I blessed them
When I coulda kept em confines
Could've held all my thoughts and kept 'em in my mind
I gotta hold it down for my city
I gotta spread it out when I get it
I know I got a lot wanna rise with me
But who gone stick it out if i fall with it?
I swear I wanna know who'll be there
But who gone stick it out if I fall with it?
I swear I wanna know who'll be there for me
I wanna know who there for me
I gotta hold it down for my city yeah
I gotta hold it down for my niggas yeah
Forget all of the ones who ain't with it yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
Yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
So don't get too lost in the moment
You gotta keep it rolling now
Bruh I just like where you're headed bro
It's like you dream chasing
You chasing it
You know what I'm saying
I gotta hold it down for my city yeah
I gotta hold it down for my niggas yeah
Forget all of the ones who ain't with it yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
Yeah
You only got one time, one time, one time
So don't get too lost in the moment
You gotta keep it rolling now

You know days in the city like this
