The City by Tony Cobain Lyrics
Born into the city life
Infatuated with the bright lights
And late nights
Beauty and the beast
These cold streets create stars
But the most important thing I learned
Is be grateful where you are
Verse 1
Ready set go
Open up your eyes cuz it’s time to hit the road
The destination is uncertain
But the journey will unfold
If you never press the gas then you’ll never know
All the twists and turns and the curves and brakes
Don’t ever let an obstacle deter you from your faith
That’s a living lesson that I learned the other day
Whether you miles away from home
Or ya home is where you lay
The city life
The struggles and pain
It all come with it
Time to rewind my mind
When we were children
Surrounded by the concrete walls
And onely halls
Never went the path of my friends
I stood tall
Dont get caught up
The fast pace and faster money
Carlos had a half a mill before 20
Now his mom don’t got a son
Cuz he buried in a grave
When you live that kinda life
You barely see a higher age
The city life
Dare to embrace it
Practice your patience
Light red light green
Feel my pain
Is what I aim
The only thing I try to gain
I’m Like a fresh windshield
When you wipe away the rain
Uh huh
Your time is coming
You great for waiting
All it takes is visualization
Cruising in my city
In a state of meditation
It’s nothing like the city
It’s my form of medication
Chorus
Cruising through the city with my light on
Cruisin through the city’s with my light on
Cruisin through the city with my light on
With my light on
With my light on
Infatuated with the bright lights
And late nights
Beauty and the beast
These cold streets create stars
But the most important thing I learned
Is be grateful where you are
Verse 1
Ready set go
Open up your eyes cuz it’s time to hit the road
The destination is uncertain
But the journey will unfold
If you never press the gas then you’ll never know
All the twists and turns and the curves and brakes
Don’t ever let an obstacle deter you from your faith
That’s a living lesson that I learned the other day
Whether you miles away from home
Or ya home is where you lay
The city life
The struggles and pain
It all come with it
Time to rewind my mind
When we were children
Surrounded by the concrete walls
And onely halls
Never went the path of my friends
I stood tall
Dont get caught up
The fast pace and faster money
Carlos had a half a mill before 20
Now his mom don’t got a son
Cuz he buried in a grave
When you live that kinda life
You barely see a higher age
The city life
Dare to embrace it
Practice your patience
Light red light green
Feel my pain

You great for waiting
All it takes is visualization
Cruising in my city
In a state of meditation
It’s nothing like the city
It’s my form of medication
Chorus
Cruising through the city with my light on
Cruisin through the city’s with my light on
Cruisin through the city with my light on
With my light on
With my light on
