City Don’t Sleep

Woo…

Grrr…

Look…

City don’t sleep, I’m up with the wolves,

Big step walk, yeah, I move with the groove,

Came from the dirt, had nothin’ to prove,

Now the chain heavy, yeah, my name too smooth.

City don’t sleep, hear the blocks still talk,

Late night moves when the shadows stalk,

I been that guy since the sidewalk chalk,

From the curb to the penthouse view—watch.

I was outside when it started rainin’,

Cold nights made my heart so stainless,

They switch sides when the money start changin’,

I stayed solid, never did no fakin’.

Big dog talk, I don’t bark, I bite,

Whole lotta scars but I’m livin’ right,

I done seen dark, I done seen light,

Now the jewels hit hard when they catch that light.

Haters watch close, but they move too late,

I elevate, they still contemplate,

If it’s pressure, I apply that weight,

I don’t fold, nah, I dominate.

City don’t sleep, I’m up with the wolves,

Big step walk, yeah, I move with the groove,

Came from the dirt, had nothin’ to prove,

Now the chain heavy, yeah, my name too smooth.

City don’t sleep, hear the blocks still talk,

Late night moves when the shadows stalk,

I been that guy since the sidewalk chalk,

From the curb to the penthouse view—watch.

Look—

I don’t speak unless it’s bout business,

Pressure made diamonds, I’m cold with it,

Lost some friends, yeah, I still miss ’em,

But the mission first, gotta stay driven.

Big drip season, every fit clean,

Heavy on my mind but my vision mean,

From the subway sound to the big leagues,

Now my name ring bells in the streets.

I don’t chase clout, I let it chase me,

Same circle tight, never shady,

They see the glow, now they praise me,

But I remember nights nobody saved me.

Ooo…

Night fall, I’m still on go,

Heart so cold but my soul still gold,

If I fall, I rise tenfold,

This the life I chose, I know.

City don’t sleep, I’m up with the wolves,

Big step walk, yeah, I move with the groove,

Came from the dirt, had nothin’ to prove,

Now the chain heavy, yeah, my name too smooth.

City don’t sleep, hear the blocks still talk,

Late night moves when the shadows stalk,

From the curb to the skybox view,

Yeah… I made it through.

Woo…

Grrr…

City…

Don.
