[Verse 1] Hard to say I miss you, but I think I do
It’s been a couple months since I’ve even texted you
Things change, and people too
Don’t know why I thought that you wouldn’t be changing too
Wasn’t tryin, think your girl fell in love with me
You hit a couple times and then they never wanna leave
I turn 20 in May, thinking ’bout it stresses me
‘Cause I’m a quarter done and I don’t know what’s next for me
Sittin’ alone gettin’ drunk off all these old emotions
Gla**es of Henny sitting on my Versace coasters
I need those hazy friday nights, double cup of potion
Not tryin’ to live my life going through the daily motions
Hard to stay connected when you’re crossin’ oceans
Hard to fall in love when your heart is broken
Hard to stay awake after all these doses
Drunken notions find their moment, finally getting spoken
Early days, late nights
My thoughts are slowing, got my ‘Roc on ice
Smokey haze, early flights
My city’s glowin’, just look at all the lights
[Hook] And how could I feel alone
In the city that I call home
In the place where I have grown
Couldn’t have done it on my own
Just look at all the lights
I can take you to new heights
In the city where I was raised
I could never be afraid
[Verse 2: Okayze] I ain’t never been afraid
Let me keep my sh** a buck
I know my family’s down to ride
Even when I’m f**in’ up
So I do this for my fams, that’s my momma and my pops
That’s my sisters and my broskis, man the list just doesn’t stop
And I can’t forget my shorty
She been doin’ the most for me
That’s my ride or die
Told her I’ma blow up like a molotov, I’m goin’ off
Zee will in the cut, you know what it is
I’m just tryna get a ma**ive cheque and flex on all these kids
To any n***as hatin’ on me, you my sons
And I can’t stand a triflin’ shorty, man, I’m not the one
I’m just tryna get some funds, do some sh** I never did
Tell my family, man, I got ’em
Actin’ like I’m heaven-sent
Even though I’m far from it, my moms love it
Told me “stay up out the streets, ain’t nothin’ gon’ come from it”
I’ma fall back
Was chasin’ small stacks, I want the large racks
I be on road chasin’ dough, where my dogs at?
Zee!
[Hook] And how could I feel alone
In the city that I call home
In the place where I have grown
Couldn’t have done it on my own
Just look at all the lights
I can take you to new heights
In the city where I was raised
I could never be afraid
[Verse 3: Brandan Anthony] I could never be afraid
Just to make what I was doin’, or to do what I was made
Couple K, everyday, wouldn’t want it anyway
Gettin’ paid, ándale, like it’s Bay and Adelaide
Yeah
If you ain’t the fam then I be curvin’ (Swerve)
Team big, can’t fit all in the Suburban (Nah)
We lit, can’t stay steady, I be swervin’ (Skrrt)
Dream big, know we made it out of Durham, yeah (905)
To the big lights, straight right down from Pickering
Hear these n***as bickering but I ain’t even listening
Focused on the money, now I got it, that’s that discipline
See me put in work, know y’all witnessin’
From the zip, makin’ hits
Now my driveway filled with foreign whips
Ain’t-a-been about the average so we ain’t f** with normal chicks
Roll a zip, throw a tip
Paparazzi’s takin’ pics
Finish shows right down in Europe
Then right back to 416
Yeah
[Hook] And how could I feel alone
In the city that I call home (that I call home)
In the place where I have grown (that I have grown)
Couldn’t have done it on my own
Just look at all the lights (just look at all the lights)
I can take you to new heights (I can take you to new heights)
In the city where I was raised (In the city where I was raised)
I could never be afraid
[Outro] Be afraid
I could never be afraid
Couldn’t
Couldn’t done it on my own
I can take you to new heights
In the city where I was raised…
