Rashid Lacy - The City (Chill Version) Lyrics

I'm walkin' thru the city
Got headphones in my ears
Like I am not so gritty
To fight against my fears
It's kinda different
Even more severe
People don't listen
So I've locked my ears
Why is this world so cold?
Gotta give way and lose control
Why is this world so cold?
Alone, I'm weak and feel so small
Why is this world so cold?
Gotta give way and lose control
Why is this world so cold?
Alone, I'm weak and feel so small

New phone in the stores
Lit people in a hurry
They wouldn't need a new one
Makin' up their stories
Waitin' for the next shit that keeps 'em off
Cause they got no love
My tongue's cruel
Tryna' be cool
They don't care
Just stare at their jewels
Sayin' life ain't great
The bus is too late
There's nothing worse than a two minute wait
But temperature's rising and sweat ain't enough
We are melting the ice and the others get lost
But okay I stop with this melancholic
I know by myself, I do way too much shit
Hey, I'm not a fool
I know, I'm gonna rue
I don't know what to do
Do you?

I'm walkin' thru the city
Got headphones in my ears
Like I am not so gritty
To fight against my fears
It's kinda different
Even more severe
People don't listen
So I've locked my ears
Why is this world so cold?
Gotta give way and lose control
Why is this world so cold?
Alone, I'm weak and feel so small
Why is this world so cold?
Gotta give way and lose control
Why is this world so cold?
Alone, I'm weak and feel so small

Everywhere I go I see disrespect
And everybody's claimin' that they miss respect
Hidin' 'hind their walls can't lie this is fact
We are mad, eh, what is that?
24/7 on our smartphones, chillin'
Leavin' back our real lives, killin' it spillin'
New dimension in the houses, damn,
How we're in
Spend our dirty coins, ignore they have feelings
Cause we are lazy, lazy, lazy
So crazy
I'm a bad world saviour
I'm a bad world saviour
Hey, I'm not a fool
I know, I'm gonna rue
I don't know what to do
Do you?

I'm walkin' thru the city
Got headphones in my ears
Like I am not so gritty
To fight against my fears
It's kinda different
Even more severe
People don't listen
So I've locked my ears
Why is this world so cold?
Gotta give way and lose control
Why is this world so cold?
Alone, I'm weak and feel so small, yeah
