Army Of One - Leave The City (feat. Andrew Manzani)

You know, you know that life gets old
And you know that love comes and love goes
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
To Leave The City is to escape from what holds you down
To form a crown and place it upon your work sweated brow
Is to abolish expectations placed upon you by others
And become free from the judgements and disapproving jeers that smother
Remind peers that together we are blessed with what makes us fulfilled
And chase thrills that you can never ever provide with but still
(Fuck it, I'm giving it back to Andy he sounds better than me anyway)
You know, you know that life gets old
And you know that love comes and love goes
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
I've gotta come up with something new
'Cause I ain't getting views doing what my idols used to
As soon as the roots grew, I got off of YouTube
And cued up the record so I can influence you too, but shit
When I find myself driving past the places I once lived
Thinking 'bout all the shit that's happened since
I put it in the script so all the people wearing AirPods get a glimpse
Of everything I did to make some people care about the kid, huh
I picked up and slid, like on the playground that I hid on as a kid
From all the people who I couldn't see eye to eye on how it is
They tore it down and put a motorway instead for us to skid
Our motorcade of polluting airways to keep up how we live
So when I'm sheltering from things just know I'm belting out the city tryna leave
I took a left and hit the tunnel where I used to hit the swings
If you just followed me away we could be kings
I'm only staying 'cause the queen I'm taking care of, see my rings?
Expectation, complacence, hatred are some of many things
I had to shake on the way to greatness and write down anything
To all my 2010 people I haven't seen since we were teens
Hope you do better as grown ups cause if you don't then shit I mean
The way you treated me was like I don't know how you sleep at night
What, you thought I forgot? Nah, that fucked me up for life
I still got trust issues, scud missiles affecting me and mine
I guess it's good for reflecting on when I step up to the mic
You know, you know that life gets old
And you know that love comes and love goes
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Try and fly higher when I flow
Never, ever ever let go
