My City

As a kid I had dreams of getting big
 I didn't understand then but I'm getting it
 I was fitting in, working on standing out
 Now when I'm on stage they pull their cameras out
 I know it feels like the beginning of you
 I been laying the ground, work a minute or two
 Much as I do it for me, I do it for you
 I do it for success what a beautiful view, I can't lie
 True to my crew, they been there through it all
 They were there on the bench, they'll be there when I ball
 I'm a man of my word, got my hand on my heart
 Nervous as hell, but I got everyone playing their part
 And it'll pay off, winning just in time for the playoffs
 Sick as hell but I'll never take a day off
 Say off to the races, and now I'm gone it's a different level
 It's a pedestal that I'm on, something that I asked for
 No complaints round here
 Top gear ain't no second place round here
 Take a look at the kid, listen to what I'm saying
 This shit is from the heart and when I'm talking I ain't playing
 Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)
 Me and the team waited the world
 Hugging the chos, dating my girl
 Tryna make it for the nights that we stayed up, work it, plan it
 Only option, make it happen
 Coulda bought clothes, instead bought a studio
 Hometown boys in an industry that's who you know
 But we gonna make it anyway
 I could do this shit all day
 And guarantee we do it our way, I swear
 This life ain't for the weak
 It's a lotta stress it's a lotta beef
 It's a lotta love, and a lotta jealousy
 It's a lotta sifting through the bullshit they telling me
 But I know, I know it ain't s'posed to be easy
 If we're not there, we're damn close believe me
 Got a lot on my mind a boy gone
 On the road right now, but the show goes on
 Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)
 Uh, okay the countin' on a speck kid
 When I get it Imma show 'em what that first check did
 Used to only imagine now I can make it happen
 I got 'em clappin, shit I can make a living off of rapping
 Wow, what an epiphany, look at what you did for me
 It's been a struggle, but I wouldn't do it differently
 The good and the bad, up and the down
 What would I do if the people in my city weren't around?
 Imma go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah imma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
 (Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring to my city)
 Yeah Imma go and get it, go go go and get it
 (Go, go, go and get it pick up and bring it to my city)
