City Song Lyrics
looking down on the smallest thing
i squint so i can focus
you hold your hands like they were broken
see me look and say your joking
no, i don't think i get it
would not show i don't know it
no it's best not to show up
in the city you must make yourself light
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
targets stare you down at night
look away they can't destroy you
please stop pacing and distracting
i'm not sure that love this acting
no, i don't think get it
would not show i don't know it
yes it's best not to show up
in the city you must make yourself light
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
no, i don't think get it
would not show i don't know it
yes it's best not to show up
in the city you must make yourself light
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
looking down on the smallest thing
i'm not seeing anything
i squint so i can focus
you hold your hands like they were broken
see me look and say your joking
no, i don't think i get it
would not show i don't know it
no it's best not to show up
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
look away they can't destroy you
please stop pacing and distracting
i'm not sure that love this acting
no, i don't think get it
would not show i don't know it
yes it's best not to show up
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
would not show i don't know it
yes it's best not to show up
in the city you don't have to decide
sometimes check yourself make sure your alive
i'm not seeing anything

i like the strings in this song. don't know what it means but it reminds me of walking through a big city
I think this song is about how innercity life is more difficult on the emotional level. I think it's about how you have to keep perspective on your life when you live in a big city. You'll be surrounded by fake people, or people who won't pay you any attention, so you need to make sure you always have your feet on the ground.
This song is money. Money.
