City Boy
[Chorus]
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
[Verse 1]
Another day another dollar, I’m out on the streets
Like a bloody Rottweiler, Freddy is a beast
When he plays, man, he plays for keeps, it ain’t nothin’ sweet
That’s why I’m out here servin’ em
And I’m still young, look at all the lama I brung
I was gone for a while
I miss my haters
Fake players
Comin’ as another ghetto child
Came back on the first of the month
Why is everybody talking big paper like they all can stunt
Seen the music ain’t the same either
All I hear is the beat
And these soft cats talking bout they’re grim reapers
Now, everybody claims they’ve got that ether
Summertime wife beaters
Tattoo over their stomach line, yappin’ bout their guns
Malt liquor, how they’re rich and use to live in the slums
Their pants sagging
Drag on the floor in the door of the Benz wagon
[Chorus]
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
[Verse 2]
I’ve got, lawsuits fallin’ out of my ass
Old heads who were calling for a truce in the past
They wanna clash so I flipped on ‘em
How to let my pistol whip on ‘em
Had to use the extra clip when I burned ‘em
Maybe there’s a place in the world
Where I could find a lil peace
Spend some one on one time with my girl
Slid back to the Dot
Got a spot by the lake
Where not a whole lotta people get shot
Sipping on Patron, it could really get hot
I ain’t tryna go to jail or even run from the cops
A few cats wanna put me away
Guess they figured with me gone they could get a grip on the knot
So they step to me homie
Actin’ like they know me, had to get ‘em ‘fore they show me
Now their homies wanna blow me
Ain’t nothin’ gone change, same hood
A different day I’m Chucky still deranged
Still quick to spit fame
[Chorus]
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
[Verse 3]
I make moves
Split wigs in muddy shoes
Take cities
Cop wheelies with Mac Millies
CSIs do drive byes, they’re white guys
I despise, they wanna see my demise
A new day, weddin’ band on ring fingers
It’s time to choose, my family or drug dealers
What should I do? I’ve got so much bills to pay
Streetlife is in my blood I’ve gotta find another way
Nobody knew I woulda made it this far
That’s why I’m sittin’ here smoking mesmerized in the car
Just me and myself thinking, when will I stop drinking
Why do these people look at me as a star
Maybe if I live I’ll pave the way for role models to save
Young dudes when their life’s in a full throttle
Maybe one day I’ll come back with a Bible
When God forgives me for bustin’ off with a riffle
[Chorus]
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
City boy
Was never really meant to die young
Here today but tomorrow he’s gone
Ya people’s gonna sing a sad song
City Boy, City Boy
City Boy
