One For The City - Illy, Thomas Jules

Yeah, now I don’t mean to brag but I’m a big city kid

Gone with the wind, shoot from the hip

And all across the world, no difference

Every city in the world, at home within

Man, it could be nothing like the hard life

Shit, still a sucker for a skyline

The open road’s fine to write a couple of lines

But the cities tell the story of a lifetime

Cut;

Lights, Camera, Action

It’s all that, everything you imagine

It’s right there, you can reach out and grab it

Dreams turn reality big smoke magic

Maybe I’m biased and maybe the set up

Maybe it’s just that I don’t know no better

City don’t sleep, speakers at eleven

If they got a question this is what I tell them (them)

Them city streets are endless

Them bright lights catch the eye

We push it to the limit

We build it to the sky

And anything can happen

It’s on you to roll the dice

Hold tight and get ready to ride

I’m home, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

Said, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

Yeah, you could live the dream

Have it fall in your lap

Fall in love or fall through the cracks

Tough call to avoid those traps

But in high-stakes business you gonna get that

Take it from the streets to the penthouse suites

All you need is a dream, a belief

A little luck and a bit of guts to achieve

Heart of the city, belly of the beast

Yeah, what you pay for, cheap thrills ain’t cheap

Pay a high price if you wanna taste free

All the good isn’t always what it seems

But that’s fine with me, this is where I wanna be

Amongst the bright lights and the beat of the city

In any direction people are with me

We get busy, what a trip, what a blessing

They wanna question so I tell them

Them city streets are endless

Them bright lights catch the eye

We push it to the limit

We build it to the sky

And anything can happen

It’s on you to roll the dice

Hold tight and get ready to ride

I’m home, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

Said, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

I’m home, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

Said, I’m home and I’m one for the city tonight

I’mma stay hard till the sun goes down

Till the lights come out

Till the lights go down

And the sun comes up again

I’mma stay hard till the sun goes down

Till the lights come out

Till the lights go down

And the sun comes up again

I’mma stay hard till the sun goes down

Till the lights come out

Till the lights go down

And the sun comes up again

I’mma stay hard till the sun goes down

Till the lights come out

Till the lights go down

And the sun comes up again
