Dying in the City

Who you think you are
This name is not original you can't go very far
This game is not for you
You're supposed to do a 9 to 5
The bottom line you blinded your eyes with all these kind of lies
Boy I know what I'm doing stop your assuming
I'm just playing the game
Kill all the rumors we just keep it moving
Trying to make a change
You and your little crew
What you trying to prove
None of us original maybe you from China too
Made money on my own surviving in the game without you
I only speak the truth straight out of Kowloon
We from the land of the bootlegs
Men with the toothpicks
Where everything is borrowed no role models
In the melting pot where you don't see the sky
Where everyone around is trying to feed you lies
From the factories working on the daily
On the 11th floor is where I tailor make beats
Dying in the city but that's all we know
Dying in the city got nowhere to go
Dying in the city but that's all we know
Dying in the city got nowhere to go
I give a f**k about award shows
I'm wishing you could take it back
I know my worth beyond a trophy
I'm just stating facts
Shout outs to the movie
I'm just saying my sh*t was whack
Got the worst of the worst verses laid on a track
And those who haven't paid up
Where you trying to go
My debt collectors waiting for you outside of your door
My landlords telling me he's trying to increase the rent
The city is sucking him dry
Every dollar every cent
Producers jacking my style
Where should I go now
While the riots in the street below they shutting it down
In the melting pot where you don't see the sky
Where everyone around is trying to feed you lies
From the factories working on the daily
On the 11th floor is where I tailor make beats
Dying in the city but that's all we know
Dying in the city got nowhere to go
Dying in the city but that's all we know
Dying in the city got nowhere to go
