My City

As a kid I had dreams of getting big

I didn't understand then but I'm getting it

I was fitting in, working on standing out

Now when I'm on stage they pull their cameras out

I know it feels like the beginning of you

I been laying the ground, work a minute or two

Much as I do it for me, I do it for you

I do it for success what a beautiful view, I can't lie

True to my crew, they been there through it all

They were there on the bench, they'll be there when I ball

I'm a man of my word, got my hand on my heart

Nervous as hell, but I got everyone playing their part

And it'll pay off, winning just in time for the playoffs

Sick as hell but I'll never take a day off

Say off to the races, and now I'm gone it's a different level

It's a pedestal that I'm on, something that I asked for

No complaints round here

Top gear ain't no second place round here

Take a look at the kid, listen to what I'm saying

This shit is from the heart and when I'm talking I ain't playing

Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)

Me and the team waited the world

Hugging the chos, dating my girl

Tryna make it for the nights that we stayed up, work it, plan it

Only option, make it happen

Coulda bought clothes, instead bought a studio

Hometown boys in an industry that's who you know

But we gonna make it anyway

I could do this shit all day

And guarantee we do it our way, I swear

This life ain't for the weak

It's a lotta stress it's a lotta beef

It's a lotta love, and a lotta jealousy

It's a lotta sifting through the bullshit they telling me

But I know, I know it ain't s'posed to be easy

If we're not there, we're damn close believe me

Got a lot on my mind a boy gone

On the road right now, but the show goes on

Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)

Uh, okay the countin' on a speck kid

When I get it Imma show 'em what that first check did

Used to only imagine now I can make it happen

I got 'em clappin, shit I can make a living off of rapping

Wow, what an epiphany, look at what you did for me

It's been a struggle, but I wouldn't do it differently

The good and the bad, up and the down

What would I do if the people in my city weren't around?

Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city

(Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)

Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it

(Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)
