Midnight City

[Verse] My mind movin' like the train off the tracks The boxcars like matchbooks, the conductors are rats Derailed it myself, though, I ain't pay for that My main focus, only one lane open A city in ruin with graffiti, abandoned buildings My life built by four walls, where's the ceiling? See the filaments through the eyes of the villainous Even the greatest people, what you think that they livin' with? That's right, my uncle, my cousin So I send money back 'cause it was nothin' I had a vision, and I made it into somethin' He told me, "Stick to your path and keep runnin'" Because I'm from the [Chorus] Midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home To the midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back [Verse] I took the ups with the downs, long way that I came With them niggas still broke, hell nah, I ain't Gotta come through the struggle, blood, sweat, and tears Nah, the game ain't sweet, but it is what it is Got fam to feed, and we ain't promised tomorrow Now I gotta go hard, came too far to stop All this pain I endured, I'm usin' it for fuel For that bag, I go nuts, cashews All them times I was down and out I can't forget 'em, never And when I had nothin', I knew I was somethin' That's what made me who I am today Now the Re-Up is in full effect I'm givin' the game somethin' they won't forget This one of them ones you gotta rewind I do it for my real ones that's on the grind [Chorus] Midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home To the midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home [Verse- female voice] Turned my scars into my story I wear them like a badge of glory In my brain I'm feelin' so insane All the pressure and the pain Like it's rainin' on my name But I know it makes me stronger Yeah It makes me harder I work all night Like it's water In the winter When it's darker I turned my heartbreak into my art In the city where it all starts [Chorus-male and female voice] Midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home To the midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home [Chorus] to the Midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home To the midnight city Runnin' 'round like nobody can see me From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back home From the underground, nothin' you can teach me I keep goin' 'cause I know I gotta bring it back
