BURN THE CITY Lyrics by DC The Don
My baby girl said I’m going to hell
Collecting coupons ’cause my job don’t pay too well (Pay too well)
Her mom and dad look at me like a failure
‘Cause I’m just burning, either way, I still wish em’ well (Wish em’ well)
And you said there’s no point in worrying (In worrying)
But it’s my fault, it’s my fault, I’m still hurting, yeah
I’ll get you out of this city some day
Or I’ll just burn it, I’ll just burn it to the ground (To the ground)
I pray to God that you’ll forgive me some day
I’ll leave it burning, I’ll leave it burning all around (All around)
She said her old friends all moving on in life
Married with kids and a crib, and she only twenty-five
Keep on telling all of our business, she want some notoriety
Telling me it’s all good but she overloaded quietly
She wanna live like a movie star and that’s undeniably
But when reality sings, she all in her head to find me
I know you have faith ’cause you want me
But if so, tell me, is you looking for the money?
‘Cause you said I shouldn’t worry
But it’s my fault, it’s my fault I’m still hurting
I’ll get you out of this city some day
Or I’ll just burn it, I’ll just burn it to the ground (To the ground)
I pray to God that you’ll forgive me some day
I’ll leave it burning, I’ll leave it burning all around (All around)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (All around)
Ain’t even playing, I get up, it’s just another summer
Plus I got fired yesterday, it’s just another bummer
Scraping up all of my cash, I’m looking all in the gutter
Phone call from Mom, she like, “When you gon’ come and see your brother?”
It’s enough, I did a lot, but she want another lover
I’m from this world, I don’t know, she might just be from another
Kendall Jenner lifestyle in her dream, she moody when she wake up with no paper, my thumbs hurt from scraping change up
And you said there’s no point in worrying (In worrying)
But it’s my fault, it’s my fault, for still hurting
I’ll get you out of this city some day
Or I’ll just burn it, I’ll just burn it to the ground (To the ground)
I pray to God that you’ll forgive me some day
I’ll leave it burning, I’ll leave it burning all around (All around)
I’ll get you out of this city some day
Or I’ll just burn it, I’ll just burn it to the ground (To the ground)
I pray to God that you’ll forgive me some day
I’ll leave it burning, I’ll leave it burning all around (All around)
