My City (Remix)

(专辑： Speck Sixteens - 2012)

[Cyrus:]
In 2012, they held a competition
I ain't win, but The Specktators got their wishes
Dropped that EL Girls and stopped paying tuition
Told my ma' some Lansing kids might really make a difference
They Jumpoff, like Charge It to the Game now
See them Neon Lights in their Campaign
So I got on my grind, yeah, ooh
The old city rocking with me, sold out my headliner
Went foreign, I met Chance, we took a chance at this rhyming
Freestyle right off top, the days off top ramen now
When I be feeling down I text Chance about my problems, yeah
And I don't mean to stunt
But one hell of a ride I been on since I jump
And like Packy's girlfriend, see them backs from the front
Now when I step on stage, ain't no backs to the front
All them eyes on me, hope you catch what you been missing
And if life is a bitch, only date a long distance
But this life full of risks, and this bitch is kind of different
Had to put up with the shit 'til I could find me other bitches

And this that shit from my city, from my city, alright
This that shit from my city, from my city, oh
This that shit, I been on a ride, go something like this, yeah
This that shit, I been on a ride, go something like this
My city, my city, my city, my city, my city, alright
Oooh's like this, my city, my city, my city bae

[Packy:]
Still not used to this, I'm learning
I know you don't like it that you can't see behind the curtain
I know that other artists tell you every time they work
And say my feelings for the music, I don't talk unless I'm certain
I just ain't built like that, talk is cheap and it's still like that
My heartbeat on these beats better than them though
I just feel like that
Yeah we both claim it real but they ain't real like that
People reading in reverse, they back to fronting
Bullshit freestlying a verse, then it's back to stunting, what talent?
They got a gift, but they ain't wrapping nothing
If I got it, I really got it, I'm bad at bluffing
This shit been driving me crazy, y'all on that bandwagon
Fake is the new real
Might make that the name of the album, no telling
Get it in the city that we dwell in
Everybody with me, 517, and bet that shit is selling
People acting like they stayed down
They want that hero shit but this ain't Cape Town
Nobody safe now
Came a long way from dropping, getting no love
Been around the country where we popping and they know us
Looking back to see how far it's come and it's far from done
Still the best one with the bars and that's barring none
Shout the fans, made the Sixteens really dope
'17 is 'bout to be crazy up in my city though

[Cyrus:]
This that shit from my city, from my city, oh
This that shit from my city, from my city, oh
This that shit from my city, from my city, oh
This that shit from my city, from my city, oh
