Matthew James Hemmer - THE CITY Lyrics

If the city never sleeps then I won't sleep
And I got you on my mind
But if you ain't on the grind
Then I don't think I got time for ya, homie
Unless you got the A&R
And if you do then play your cards
Cuz the city never sleeps and it won't stop
That song will never get a beat if it don't bop
So if you wake up next to me in the city of dreams
I'm already up seeing where I gotta go
Girl I gotta go
Yeah
So whatchu really want from me? (Girl tell me)
Do you want cash?
Do you want time?
Or just tryna smash
Get it DL no seatbelt
Rose in the back
No jack tho
But I aux that shit
Can you hear me even in the rows in the back
Hope you realize i was chosen for that
Gonna prioritize no hoes over tracks
So tell your seconds
All your friends at that sorority
All you girls are gorgeous
But I got some more important things
Can't hit up the florist
When they fly me out to Florence
Overseas across the border
I still feel like I'm a tourist
Now I'm touring
It's crazy how this shit ain't what it used to be
Don't even have the time to think about it usually
And I'm not saying I don't wish it wasn't you and me
But this ain't UMD
And if the city never sleeps then i won't sleep
And I got you on my mind
But if you ain't on the grind
Then I don't think I got time for ya, homie
Unless you got the A&R
And if you do then play your cards
Cuz the city never sleeps and it won't stop
That song will never get a beat if it don't bop
So if you wake up next to me in the city of dreams
I'm already up seeing where I gotta go (Oh yeah)
Girl I gotta go
Yeah
I don't wanna be that guy
Who's always gotta be so fly
He so high
Looking like Cee Lo Green when the gringo green go by
So much is on the horizon
Always surprising
No limit means no sky
Beast mode try hard
East coast life guard might start needing to be close by (Woo)
Yeah
I'm just saying that I'm different
I'm just staying up wishing
Making love to my equipment
So best believe me I'm committed
Label's looking for commitment i can pack my shit and be there in a minute
This is all I ever wanted
It's not even a decision
It's crazy how this shit ain't what it used to be
Don't even have the time to think about it usually
And I'm not saying I don't wish it wasn't you and me
But this ain't UMD
And if the city never sleeps then I won't sleep
And I got you on my mind
But if you ain't on the grind
Then I don't think I got time for ya, homie
Unless you got the A&R
And if you do then play your cards
Cuz the city never sleeps and it won't stop
Won't Won't Won't stop, won't get a beat if it don't bop
Won't Won't Won't w-w-wake up next to me in the city of dreams
I'm already up seeing where I gotta go
G-G-G-Girl i gotta go
Whoa
