Tae Beast - No Love In The City lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh, what the f** am I on Homie what's the murder over an iPhone? Broad daylight, shocked in the pawn I was just with this n***a like 7 days ago Caught him at the mall Discussing advance to be on circumstances abroad It's a cold world in the hottest city around n***as come from all around to get a glimpse of this town It's crazy, paradise is a paradox The majority of us struggle affording a pair of socks My n***a Yoshi had a daughter coming slinging dope on the side Working at the barber shop, was only trying to survive Shot over nonsense, 'bout to have a daughter for the first Was paralyzed from the waist down a week before the birth My Lord, good kid mad city way before Kendrick Probably why I got into music n***as thought I was stupid Them same n***as lost in their second childhood Having babies just because Swear I never get caught up marrying p**y my n***a no matter how good I got plans, but lately the city's lack of support is rubbing me in the worst way The chip on my shoulder is meta-morphed to an earthquake The same poisonous joy and my people be sh** that they attracted to Twitter thugs brag about how they carry a mac or two Turn around, prophecy fulfilled Same n***as you murder will only end up getting k**ed No preachin', screachin' I stay in the studio on the weekends Dreamin', to make it out alive living decent South Florida's where my heart at This is where I start at A lot of n***as doubting, I ain't really into call backs Palm trees, feeling the breeze, beautiful seas Can't forget about the women who make it lovely to see, so pretty But under it all it get's gritty Caught up in a cycle, I swear it's no love in the city [Hook] (x4) No love in the city (No love) No love in the city No love in the city [Skit 1] Forget this n***a he must be crazy Know how I do it (No love, no love, no love, no love) [Skit 2] A lot of these murders that's occurring, don't really be intent for the people that's probably getting k**ed, simply saying it might be meant for somebody else. Or they just shooting just trying to make noise and whoever they hit they hit, you know, just randomly doing stuff. It ain't no love in the heart of this city right here. No it's just, it's just open season, ocean miles, you know [Verse 2] Uh, we used to rap together back in high school Battle for respect, I hadn't seen you since I dropped out Years later reconnected This city's the worst, I'm tryna do more than what's expected It's what you told me "Why they had to take your life away?" What makes me shiver is we called you trigger Feels like your fate was early delivered My condolences were sent with love I pray you found the peace you needed from these gates above Meanwhile it's getting worse, my cousin [?] just got murked Over some girl who set him up My mother cried til her pupils were running dry It's do or die I feel the pressure setting Never thought desperation would ever be this prevalent I hope you know we miss you I put you in these verses Carry on your name and hope your dream can live through mine since our visions one and the same Said he working [?] slain I was plotting a couple things But sometimes, this life will force you to change Yoshi I'm glad you survived When [?] told me you got shot up, I was devastated Just had a conversation 'bout you leaving selling dope, and sticking to a 9-5 man You wanted more for your daughter man Looking in your eyes I know you meant it All you ever saw was a way to provide I'm just glad you're alive Conscious agreed that even though your paralyzed, I kept you in my prayers Further convinced me, sh** is shifty Better leave while I can man I swear man it's no love in the city [Interlude] (x4) And this is all I know No love [Hook 2] No, no, when everything is not alright And even when I'm positive it's hard to see the light I pray my spirit brightens up before my soul takes flight I've been searching for myself, please God don't let me lose this fight Tonight, tonight, tonight [Skit 3] People say, you have to have a lot of pa**ion for what you're doing. And it's totally true, and the reason is because it's so hard, that if you don't any rational person would give up. It's really hard, and you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it, you don't really love it, you're gonna give up
