Time Zone - City of Dreams

Staring at the skyline reflecting on my life
Knowing this moment's one of the highlights
Knowing my lowest lows are always followed by my highest heights
So fuck it tonight is my night
Young nigga from them riverside high rises
Riding pilot, pop the top whenever I like it
Folks staring but I swear they don't even know
How far I really came and how far I still got to go
So many goals, so many roads still unpaved
Off this path I chose, who would've known I'd be so brave
Homies from back in the day screamin my name
Seeming so amazed to see me on the stage, damn
Yeah I'm vibin, makin these waves
Then I head back to the hustle, making some change
Deliberating with the gang on the plays we should make
Staying down's the only way that we made it today
I pray the lord that we never fail
Prayin they free my innocent brothers out of jail
Prayin for them kids at the border locked up in them cells
Their parents just tryna show em freedom, how they end up in hell?

As I ride through the city of dreams
I wonder what it all really means
You work so hard just to find your place
In one moment they could take it away
As I ride through the city of dreams
I wonder what it all really means
You work so hard just to build your place
In one moment they could take it away

I don't take it for nothing, I can't take for granted
I work hard to maintain all the seeds that I planted
I knew this life would be a challenge, gotta find your balance
I been through it I ain't new to this homie, you can go and check the mileage
I been here for a while homie
But don't trip off the past, you gotta focus on now homie
They doin us foul, get your head out the clouds
And see whats goin down on the ground homie
The foundation been sinking, and their morals bein lost
They ain't concerning who they hurting, only care what it costs
No longer for the people, they do it for the dollar
Keep raising prices and we gone have to hustle harder

As I ride through the city of dreams
I wonder what it all really means
You work so hard just to find your place
In one moment they could take it away
As I ride through the city of dreams
I wonder what it all really means
You work so hard just to build your place
In one moment they could take it away
