Zach Nahome - Our City lyrics

[Intro] Uh, tell 'em this what hip hop needs, uh [Verse 1: Danny Seth] I grew up in a city Where they never gave a pity or a f** Unless you're doing grime or UK hip hop sh**, I guess you'll never buss But I was thinking different Wasn't off the acid but I always had a vision How I saw the USA was up for acquisition So I got a pen and pad and jotted down my proposition, uh The British Coming We did it on our own, no help, no nothing And as far as pulling through for my city Well, I guess it got me feeling like a plunger Uh, I wonder if they love me or they hate Cause of what I'm wearing instead of digesting what I'm saying The internet, it has a way to make me look good And my Instagram is looking like a look book But why the f** I got more followers on that than on my SoundCloud? sh** is scary, man, it's making Suge shook So I'mma keep my lyrics so clean not even 7 maids will find a speckle of dirt in between And have the elders playing this sh** to their teens and tell em this what hip hop needs [Bridge] Bright lights in my city, I'm dark knight Off a xanee cause I got long flight I told my baby girl I gotta save the city Cause within my city, man, they call me dark knight [Hook: Louis] I'm the dark knight of my city Catch me on the block all night And I ain't worried bout my sinners They be riding with me till I die They see me rollin in the streets So they know it's alright Yeah, I'm the dark knight of my city Catch me on the block all night, on the block all night [Verse 2: Danny Seth] This rapping sh**, I do it for my city's sake And I should be a stylist how I changed the game Me and the music, we kinda integrate I drop a couple bars and rappers then disintegrate Lyrically, I'm punching in a different weight And f** the other-side, I serve em like a dinner plate Anyway, let me continue what I was chatting bout I had a dream to make it overseas I called my brother Jesse, got my clothes And got my bags and started packing now He told me it would be alright, I listened Fast forward a couple months and they still doubting So many ups and downs I feel like I just climbed a mountain I find it funny how I had a fanbase in the US Before my own people finding out about me I guess it bothered me but I just kept writing Little do my city know I'm tryna make em shine For longer than a second like some lightning It's freighting, the scene up in my city need a viking To cross the seas and hold the torch up and till it's dying, it's quiet Uh, yeah I swear it's f**ing quiet So now I got the labels offering My heart is saying no, my wallet saying let em in Then I play my tapes, and they saying "where's the hits?" And if I hear that one more time I swear to gosh I'm gonna be sick They tell me justify the music Tell me what you see I tell em this what hip hop needs [Bridge] Bright lights in my city, I'm dark knight Off a xanee cause I got long flight I told my baby girl I gotta save the city Cause within my city, man, they call me dark knight
