Talon and Dushine - Leave This City

It's all about smokescreens and cigarettes
Looking through low lights and silhouettes
But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms
The city's gonna break my heart
The city's gonna love me and leave me alone
The city's got me chasing stars
It's been a couple months, it's about like I'm home
Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong
The city's gonna break my heart
The city's gonna love me and leave me alone

You say you love me, but will it be the same tomorrow
Y'all don't get it, it's like I'm the kid that is hidden
Who am I kidding? I'm sick of these women
But can knock me off my mission, I gotta go get it
I remember the teachers were telling me I wouldn't be shit
Saw some jealousy and shit like you I couldn't be with
You, I couldn't see me with
I gotta go get me the bag, back then pop the tags
Is that what it takes, I'ma give it what I have
100% cause I never go half, got me running out of this gas
Nobody told me that life's so fast, you up a minute
Next you crash it, I'll come falling down
Like who is there to save you ass, who left me hanging, don't come back
I got myself, that's all I need
And I have family just to feed and all these people be proud
Some days I doubt myself, like what's gon' keep me going
What's gon' keep me from blowing
I got a heart and it's frozen, taught not to be open
Hiding nothing but emotion
You get up, you feel down, but it's only for a moment
I be praying, I be hoping that my demons don't be showing
When is it gonna be time, every other day a new battle
Worry less, I'ma be fine, T and in the V can't change the channel

Everybody ain't for everybody, how she's telling me that I'm the one
Ain't no love in my city, painkillers got me numb
Tell me your hands, how you let it go, it's your loss
Some niggas still live in the past
Away from home, call it home run
Why, why, why these niggas still envy me
Cry, cry, cry, she don't want me to leave
Only I know me and no you and me
I went to the store for you
No regrets what I had done it made me stronger
Fuck the feds tryna take me down, I'm going fast in a Rover
Baby mama tryna take my child away, she mad I don't love her
How could I stop, all I knew was go, go, go
How could I stop, all I knew was go, go
