Lyrics
[Intro]
Grey sky morning
same cracked corner
Eyes on the high-rise
feet on the gutter
(yeah)
City in my chest
heartbeat stutter
But I still mumble to myself
"gon’ break something open"
[Chorus]
Big dreams in the inner city (yeah, yeah)
heavy heart but I keep it with me (keep it with me)
Tryna stay up, stay up, stay up
when the whole block sticky with the turmoil
Big dreams in the inner city (inner city)
dodging every pitfall, every trap they set for me
I just pray up, pray up, pray up
soul stay clean in the middle of the noise (hallelujah)
[Verse 1]
Whole hood split-screen
hope and a headline
Sirens do a duet
with the kids on the baseline (uh)
Homie got a warrant
still talkin’ ‘bout a tour bus
Other homie on the ‘Gram
flashin’ rent money, poor us
Rumors in the group chat
drama on the timeline
Clout turn a good kid
straight to a landmine
I seen them cold eyes
turn warmer than a stove top
Soon as the plug call back
all morals get roadblocked
I keep my phone on mute
when the devil start ringin’ (brrt)
Tunnel in my spirit
I just walk in there and sing in it
Ma said, "boy, blessings
move quiet, no stuntin"
So I stack little wins
in the cupboard next to nothin’ (stack that)
Every step booby-trapped
I still tiptoe forward
Head loud, heart sore
but the dream keep roarin’ (rah)
Whole world clickbait
bait on the corner
I just keep my pen sharp
til it carve me a doorway (skrrt)
[Chorus]
Big dreams in the inner city (ohhh)
heavy heart but I keep it with me (keep it close)
Tryna stay up,
