The City Lyrics
[00:01.39] Douggie on the beat
[00:02.23] Really ain't no love
[00:03.12] For meetings now, shit, we goin' to Tao (Tao)
[00:05.07] My man called me, said he goin' to trial
[00:07.02] He facing twenty years (God)
[00:08.83] I would look at my pocket, wasn't a penny there (nothin')
[00:11.34] Just Heineken bottles, wasn't no Hennys near (uh-uh)
[00:14.03] I can look you in your eyes and tell you really scared (I know)
[00:16.29] Sincerely yours, the shit I talk is so vivid (you see it)
[00:19.09] Dirty project niggas with dreams of becoming billionaires (uh)
[00:21.99] Reporting live from my side, niggas is gettin'
[00:23.76] All the product we had to break up, now every day I wake up
[00:26.66] Somebody got a problem with Dave, uh
[00:29.03] 'Cause I'm livin' a little better, or pull up sittin' on leather
[00:31.74] With some bitches that's from 'round y'all way? uh
[00:34.34] Is it because I got my cake up?
[00:36.02] Your wifey see me, I'm the reason y'all about to break up
[00:38.67] All action, I don't say much
[00:40.68] All my life, I just wanted to pop
[00:42.30] Set up the business right in front of the spot
[00:44.44] You either want it or not
[00:45.90] Window shopping, I just wanted to shop
[00:47.77] My feet hurt and I walked hundreds of blocks
[00:49.76] I ain't said nothing to cops (shh)
[00:51.37] I ain't even have the key, somehow I opened the lock
[00:53.97] Focused off Pac
[00:54.73] Chillin', blowing smoke on a yacht
[00:56.00] Ain't no love (ain't no love, my nigga)
[00:58.03] In the heart of the city (real talk, where I come from)
[01:01.40] Ain't no love in the heart of town, oh
[01:06.72] Ain't no love (uh)
[01:08.63] In the heart of the city (it's like they gettin' paid to hate)
[01:12.14] Ain't no love (no love)
[01:13.94] In the heart of town (no love, ain't no, ain't no love)
[01:17.01] I remember Dipset broke up
[01:18.66] That shit woke the Loc up (woke me up)
[01:20.49] I was copping two for fifteens just trying to smoke up (uh)
[01:22.86] The D's keep circling the block
[01:24.49] They doing doughnuts (woop, woop)
[01:25.47] Thinking about Maleek and Marcus, I gotta roll up
[01:28.05] Now every night I go to sleep, pray to God they notice me
[01:30.78] I'm vibing out to Floetry
[01:32.14] Just booked a hosting overseas (overseas, we out)
[01:33.42] They might pop that shit online, but they never approaching me
[01:36.22] I'm hall of fame, nigga, like who coaching me?
[01:38.38] Block was on fire, tell me who you know got as low as me?
[01:40.77] Deliver like poetry, ain't gotta ask her to go with me
[01:43.34] You wasn't in them cold December nights in the snow with me
[01:46.16] We disrespect the opps openly, then go fuck they sister to Jodeci
[01:49.65] Dreaming 'bout a spot we could hustle without no cops
[01:52.04] Nobody came to rumble, we snuck it inside the spot
[01:54.40] All they heard was shots, walked off in a pair of Prada socks
[01:57.36] Niggas be Jay Reed, you not a cop (you not a cop, pussy)
[02:00.11] Ain't no love (sucker-ass niggas)
[02:01.97] In the heart of the city (really ain't no love)
[02:05.53] Ain't no love (you can show niggas love, but)
[02:07.38] In the heart of town
[02:09.41] Oh (nine times out of ten, that shit ain't gon' come back)
[02:10.84] Ain't no love (uh), in the heart of the city (ain't no love, nigga)
[02:16.02] Ain't no love in the heart of town (karma, karma)
[02:21.42]
[00:02.23] Really ain't no love
[00:03.12] For meetings now, shit, we goin' to Tao (Tao)
