Rakim - Living For The City songtekst

Je score:

Contaminated with aggravated brothers  who knows where the love is?
 Growing up swinging  through my upbringing
 My limits is the sky from the all eye seeing
 Of so called realities filled with technicalities
 I watch my steps  stay on my p's and check my casualties
 Not to get played  equipped with all the tricks of the trade
 I even learned from the mistakes that the next man made
 I know to choose and pick the people I grow up around
 I know to grow and get to know the town up and down
 But there's no instructions, so many directions
 A lot of crooks look to get hooked with connections
 Some thought they knew all adolescence could teach
 They graduated from school but fail life in the streets
 Your pops taught you to strive and stay a live, no ditty
 It's easy to die when you're living for the city

 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yeah that's how I'm living
 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yep that's how I'm living

 I grow according to my environmental habitat
 I hang where everything seem to happen at
 I seen it all, and I've been doing that since I was small
 Catch a flashback y'all, if I can recall
 The days on the corner we watched the world go by
 Or nights that wasn't right like when a good friend dies
 I quest for the best for prepare for the worst
 Never scared but I cared if I'm blessed or I'm cursed
 Yes I fear no man but Allah
 I'm Gomar Oras Dubar
 Which is God so It's hard to see Ra
 I do what I gotta do, with or without a clue
 Run through any obstacle including you
 Cause I ain't got to bust you, cause I got the muscle
 A push any clown that tries to slow down my hustle
 I gotta get by, but there's no time for pity
 It's easy to die when you're living for the city


 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yeah that's how I'm living
 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yep that's how I'm living

 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yep that's how I'm living
 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yeah that's how I'm living

 I'm in a zone everywhere I seem to roam is home
 A rolling stone, I hold my own just like a microphone
 I stay in tune, travel in harmony and set the tone
 Being young but I'm grown and well-known
 Try to take me out New York but you can't take New York out of me
 Cause that's the only way that I know how to be
 My neighbors is jealous they label us drug sellers
 We may be hood dwellers, we're just a bunch of goodfellas
 Cause we run wild with a passion, my style and my fashion
 Is getting, kid, I'm making cash and crashing
 Parties that everybody's talking about, we turn it out
 I'm just a native New Yorker with clout
 I know my way around any borough and any town
 I make a lot of ground and I'm hard to be found
 I get down to the nitty gritty, wake up with something pretty
 It gets me through another day living for the city

 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yeah that's how I'm living
 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yep that's how I'm living

 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yep that's how I'm living
 That's how I'm living (x3)
 Yeah that's how I'm living
