A TALE OF 2 CITIEZ LYRICS
[Produced by Vinylz]
[Verse 1]
Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich
Look at me my nigga
Fantasize about a white picket fence
With some trees my nigga
Used to want a Pathfinder with some tints
That's all I need my nigga
Throw some 20's on that bitch and get it rinsed
But now I see my nigga
That the world's a lot bigger ever since
Picked up the paper
And they say my nigga Eddie caught a body, I'm convinced
Anybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limits
Fuck being timid in the Civic
Politicin' with the pushers and the pimps
I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?
Yeah, can I get a glimpse?
[Hook 1]
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
They robbin' niggas on the daily
Can you blame a nigga that ain't never had things?
Guess not! (What's the value of a thing?)
Last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light like-
Ugh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
[Bridge]
Small town nigga Hollywood dreams
I know that everything that glitters ain't gold
I know the shit ain't always good as it seems
But tell me till you get it how could you know?
How could you know? How could you know?
[Verse 2]
Listen up I'm about to go and get rich
Fuck with me my nigga
We gon' circle round the Ville and hit a lick
Cop some tree my nigga
And some powder, bag it up and make it flip
You gon' see my nigga
One day we gon' graduate and cop a brick
And that's the key my nigga
Listen up I'm 'bout to go and get rich
Stand back and watch if you want to nigga
Me I want my pockets fat, a badder bitch
Tired of seein' niggas flaunt, I wanna flaunt too nigga
Watch some rollers in a fuckin' Crown Vic
Tryna lock a nigga up, that's what they won't do nigga
Wanna know a funny thing about this shit?
Even if you let em' kill your dream
It'll haunt you nigga, haunt you
[Hook 2]
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
I look around like-
Do you wanna be another nigga, that ain't never had things?
Guess not! (What's the value of a thing?)
Last night we pulled up on a nigga at the light like
(You know what the fuck it is nigga, run that shit!)
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
[Outro]
Father forgive me for my childish ways
I look outside and all the clouds are gray
I need your hands to take me miles away
Your wish is my command, my command, my command
But before you go I've got to warn you now
Whatever goes up surely must come down
And you'll get your piece, but know peace won't be found
So why just take me man, take me man, take me man
Your wish is my command, my command, my command

Hoy en día trato de no enojarme por estupideces
No dejo que hablen-hay momentos en que yo les Pago no mente
Salitary is a must but I got some friends
I joke with the truth and that gets them pissed
I don’t like to argue- I don’t like to pretend
I’m the man how I feel when I’m stepping in
Let’s get it in all I really want is Benjamin’s
Got my ex on my phone oh no oh no I think you to grown to even do that shit
I’m man how I move, money ain’t problem, all you gotta do is go get it
If you really want it -you gonna make it come to you
The way that I think I’m gifted some understand me some won’t get it it’s just life man and I’m the menace put me in the mic Yeah we talk bidness
What you want to do just might be widd it
How I’m feeling like the litest
If you need a hand I’ll probably hand you to
Ain’t no wasting time let’s get right to
Whatever it is that you got in mind
Put my nose on the grindstone still ain’t fine
Always want more .and that’s not good you can only phase me if I let you
Yeah I love my Dawgs man you won’t understand man
What does that mean, what does that mean
I can do all the things,
What does that mean what does that mean
Do you feel me do you really
What does that it mean what does it mean
hi, how did u remake the melody ,can u tell me?

No estoy ariva o abajo pero yo aqui no estoy bien
Asta el dia que tenga yo casa y mire puros billites de cien
Y a mi madre y padre para que yo les gare una casa tambien
Dejo que hablen porque la verdad es que nadien me va poder enteder
La verdad es que no aocupas escuela para que puedas tu aprender
Yo tenia amigos -se movian raro se resulto que no eran real
Y por si yo me quedo atras- eso es algo que yo voy arreglar
Yo no me creo mas que otros somos iguales
Para ser el mejor tienes que saber lo que es no ser el mejor
can i use it
yea man go for it
@@JHRYN THANX BRO
thanku for reply
Ok
J'aimerais sourire plus souvent mais ça n'serait pas sincère
Quand j'fais semblant, j'ai très vite mal au visage
Mes zygomatiques se bloquent
Igo, ma clique te botte, mes bicots trafiquent le pops
Les renois sont rarement les grossistes
Même dans le drogue game, ils ont rien, ni n'a pas le droit de dîner
C'est pour tous mes haalpulaar
J’suis belge ou italien moi, j'suis pas d'la Guinée
La science de la survie est innée, il faut que tu m'ressentes
Même si on a pas d'lien, mon rap c'est pour tout l'monde
J'en ai rien à foutre, si t'es tous les jours au skate park
Si tu shootes pour des quettes-pla ou si tu joues au sket-ba
J'veux juste que tu sois respectable
Et qu'tu deviennes le spectateur de mon spectacle
Jouez aux insomniaques, ouais
Venez on teste, on verra qui veillera l'plus
Dans leurs clips, ils chantent, ils dansent mais ils rappent plus
Quand faut faire de la thune
J'ai juste besoin de mon oreiller et de ma plume
Je marche dans la brume, toujours prêt à monnayer de la pure
J'suis pas un négro philosophe ou un négro qui joue au singe, nan
Pendant qu'tu achètes des diamants pour la chaîne de ta chienne
Je schématise, je complote pour la chair de ma chair
Ceux qui vont pleurer si j'pars, ouais, si mon récit t'parle
Achète pour que j'les achève mais n'me félicite pas, nan
Les compliments, c'est comme la caillasse :
Qu'est-ce que tu veux que j'fasse avec ?
Aucun d'nous retournera sa veste
Pas d'veste réversible, Baptiste fait et persiste
A la fois brillant et flottant : j'suis l'averse et l'éclaircie
I’m the illest I’m the surprised how come I don’t have covid it’s a joke chill I was just jokin bet you noticed
Where can do you pick this vox effect, please help me..!!
