Alex Wampler - City Limits

I'm a product of the city
And the baggage I keep with me
I remember doin 60
Out on post oak just to think about
The shit that always hit me
Have my stomach feelin empty
And my conscious feelin guilty
But That's the verdict when you're learning
All the errors in your ways
I spent my trials in a daze
It was My juvenile stage
In a city where there's plenty
Shitty times to get away
Getting fucked up everyday
Back at Bobby's where we stayed
Not for problems but for boredom
We were more than just our age
All the times were always great
But the people so much better
I wouldn't trade it for a thing
In the basement out at Blayne's
Way before a substance came
But there's times I have to wonder
What the fuck we could became
Cause I've seen it
The city swallows hope if you don't leave it
Good friends start to fiending
Then their fiending turns to addicts
But addiction is just nothing but
Subtraction by addition
A fraction of your life end up missing
I pray you listen to me

Wild and misguided
Some would say we were defiant
But I would say we were defining
What it's like to be alive in
A city that is dying
But we made the most of timing
Cause we were the silver lining
In this cloth that we've been cut from
It's never coming undone
We'll always seem together
But the limits of this city
Are our ways can't last forever
We just need some new direction
For perspective through the weather
I just hope that we get better
Learn to harvest from the storm
Cause I use to be the one
That would question where We're born
Until I learned that product placement
Made my value fuckin sore
So I sworn to be more
Than what was given
Putting everything
Into this life that we've been living
Until we're getting out

Somewhere in city
Getting wild
Cause we got a lot of time
And we always fuck around
We've been living while we're young
So we'll be here for awhile
And if you want to set it off
Then you got to shut it down
You can find us just
Somewhere in city
Getting wild
Cause we got a lot of time
And we always fuck around
We've been living while we're young
So we'll be here for awhile
And if you want to set it off
Then you got to shut it down
You can find us just
