Christopher Thornton - Metropolis lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes I feel like I've drifted, I feel different I feel gifted I've been high so long, don't need to smoke to get lifted I've been under pressure looking for Nikki Whenever she is around, you know I come quickly Vivid memories of Chicago, south side where I go From Reggies to the House of Blues, progress is the motto Man the first show that I ever done sold out was in Chicago Yeah, yeah, living like I've been ready to die Maybe not, I don't know why my mind is changing Rearranging this dangerous melody, uh Yeah, and I know that ain't nobody finna ever be ahead of me All that competition right there is dead to me Yeah, uh, yeah, I've been turning the pages Feeling the vibe, sh** is outrageous Boy, I've been feeling courageous This sh** right here, I've been at it for ages Feels like I'm running through mazes Everybody has they phases Yeah, vibe with this, bad b**h in the whip and I ride to this And I'm feeling it uh, hope when I'm forty I'm still in it One of the few that be k**ing it, uh Yeah, young motherf**er that be giving what he living On the road to success you know that I'm driven But they didn't wanna publish it But right now I'm on some other sh** I'm in a different world, I'm with a different girl I'm with the same team, but it's a different scheme Remember back when I couldn't even pay the bills And I'll never forget how that feels back when I would [Bridge 1] Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it, I'm gone Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it, I'm gone [Verse 2] Okay, doing what I gotta do, flying at this altitude I look out of the window like goddamn, that's what I really do Don't know why I fear the planes, sometimes I wish to sustain If I look back on it I would do it all over again Nikki, Nikki, where you been? I can't wait to breathe you in Been on this plane way too long, I can't wait to see you again Oh my God this turbulence has got me sippin' on this liquor Crazy racist white b**h looking at us Like, "Who are these n***as?" First cla**, on they a**, all complain that's when I dash Just landed in Europe and this model b**h is tryna smash Now I'm riding on the train, all this sh** inside my brain Just left a hotel in Belgium, damn them waffles was insane Smoking blunts in Amsterdam, oh my God this is my jam "May-December" by Mos Def in my headphones That's the man [Bridge 2] I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by And they wonder why I never get high And they wonder why I never get high I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by And they wonder why I never get high And they wonder why I never get high [Verse 3] Okay, f** affiliation, I'm that dude that did it on his own These thoughts inside my mind, be f**in' with me when I'm all alone I really like this girl she bad as f**, why must I run away? It feel like self a**a**ination, I can't put this gun away God damn, what's the plan? Not complacent where I am Reminiscing when I hit the road back in that mini van Broke as f**, not a dollar, whipping that Chevy Impala Praying that we make it out this city, Lord willin', Insha'Allah Up to date the couple years, now my idols are my peers I was on the road to nowhere till I decided to veer Put my everything into this sh** You know, I know you know this Used to give a f** what people thought Hoping that they would notice Stop giving a f** cause music gotta be the only motive Mind racing on and off the track, I'm going locomotive [Skit: Logic & Anna] I can't believe you don't like Tarantino Ugh, I don't like him because, like, when it's non like non-Tarantino-esque, I think it's a good movie You mean like Inglourious Basterds?
