WAVE

It's too late

Too late for my city

Burn the fucker down

Fan the flames then

Then I'll eat all the ashes, whoa

Weigh this city

With a grain salt

And take no loss

Steal my culture

Till you sell it back to me and gentrify

I've worked too long, too hard

I'm paralyzed

By the city

Live to tell the tale how I survive

From now on, now on

I'm fighting for the prize,

So long I'm never looking back

Watch you drown in my wave

This city won't take me down to my grave

Fuck that motherfucker, fuck that

I need to save myself

I don't want to drown in all the things I've failed

I'll watch you drown in my wave.

Gave my heart, my soul, to the city

They won't give a shit till you take a fucking pic with Drizzy, hoe

Fake handshakes, fake smiles, gatekeepers

In a crab bucket with a glass ceiling fighting for my life

Lord you know I try to be civil

But these motherfuckers can't get our fucking name right

From now on, now on

I'm fighting for the prize,

So long I'm never looking back

Watch you drown in my wave

This city won't take me down to my grave

Fuck that motherfucker, fuck that

I need to save myself

I don't want to drown in all the things I've failed

I'll watch you drown in my wave.

This city won't take me underground

This city won't change who I am now

I know exactly what to do

I know just exactly what to do

I'm never coming back to you

This city won't take me down to my grave.
