Mark Battles - City Of Mine lyrics

rate me

This city of mine

Oh, this city of mine

You know I love you

I could never ever trust you

City going crazy while we must do

City of mine

This city of mine

Indianapolis, oh, sweet, Indianapolis

Cause a lot of pain but it’s strange ‘cause you my happiness

Taught me how to grind, if I need it still won’t ask for it

High school homies disappearing and it’s not a magic trick

How bad is it? Bad ain’t the word

I don’t think we lurk birds and it’s starting to wreck my nerves

It get crazy in this struggle in this city like a jungle

Athletic or you hustle, sports to keep you out of trouble

Right, at least I pray so

Another killing every day, though

We gotta come together, ain’t no telling where we may go

I’m tired of losing friends, we gotta make amends

All this violence need to stop, man, it’s time to break the trend

It gotta end and I ain’t tryna sound preachy but believe me

I just feel my city need me, come and see, I’m right here

We can do it as a team

I know I’m starting to do my thing but it all started as a dream

This city of mine

Oh, this city of mine

You know I love you

I could never ever trust you

City going crazy while we must do

City of mine

This city of mine

Remember times, we went back at the talents

Honest thought I was Jordan, had dreams of going to college

Promised my sister and my moms I’d stay out the streets

God took your other son so I’mma make you proud of me

They doubted me, that was the push that I needed

Man of my words, if I say it then I mean it

The most dangerous region but taught me how to beat it

‘Cause the only thing that help a fire if you try and feed it

They gonna see it, the media don’t seem to care

We just gotta be prepared, this can happen anywhere

It ain’t fair, it ain’t like we got a choice

So let’s come together, we can be the voice

If you get it then now you know

Thought dirt was worthless till they seen a flower grow

It’s ‘bout time we found control and now it’s ours

We can never ever let it go, oh

This city of mine

Oh, this city of mine

You know I love you

I could never ever trust you

City going crazy while we must do

City of mine

This city of mine

Indianapolis, I love you

I love you
