Lyrics
[Intro]
Late bus
Late shift
Same block
Same script (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Tookaville nights
Hoodie up in the breeze
Shorty got a pack and a panic
Heart on his sleeve
E-Block dreams in a trap with the screen door broke
Mama in the back
Tryna pray through smoke
Ballas on the net
Type tough
That’s jokes
Titletown talk
Boy
Your crown came from posts
NLMB name in your mouth
You a fan
Whole squad cardboard
Fold in my hand
Heard Nuski do a diss
That was weak
That was light
You ain’t ready for the names on these tees every night
You ain’t carry no homie down steps in the cold
You just carry fake beef
Tryna copy what you told
[Chorus]
City dreams
Got me up
Got me teamin’ with my demons
Under pressure
Every corner got me fiendin’
For a way out
But the way out bleeds
Yeah it bleeds
City dreams
Turn a prayer to a pledge to a scheme
Either make somethin’ shake or you sink
I got hunger in my heart
I can’t sleep
These are city dreams (city dreams)
[Verse 2]
Concrete talk
We don’t argue in threads
We seen way too many murals
Fresh paint
Still red
You post plates
We post bond receipts on the fridge
You post quotes
We post candles right by the bridge
All that Ballas cap
Who you ever put fear in?
Your block too clean
Not a cop car near it
Titletown claimin’ rings off a highlight reel
We got trophies made of trauma that we never could heal
NLMB letters on a fitted
That’s fashion
Over here
Every letter got a life
Got a passion
We don’t brag on the scars
We just live ‘em
That’s it
You just hashtag hurt then you log off quick
[Chorus]
City dreams
Got me up
Got me teamin’ with my demons
Under pressure
Every corner got me fiendin’
For a way out
But the way out bleeds
Yeah it bleeds
City dreams
Turn a prayer to a pledge to a scheme
Either make somethin’ shake or you sink
I got hunger in my heart
I can’t sleep
These are city dreams (city dreams)
