City Got A Rival (versione 2)

Verse

Corner store light hums like a slow song

Cup on the counter, milk gone cold

Dime for the fare but I walk it still

Block still got rhythm in its hill

Sister's sneakers scuff the same ground

Money moves round but we don't get found

Chain-link shadow cutting the street

City got a rival I ain't chasing yet

Pre-Chorus

Who you trust when the block don't lean

Which corner got the real scheme in

Hold your own, hold your head up

That's the only currency that don't get used up

Chorus

I keep my cash in pocket not a chain

City got a rival but I ain't playing games

Bounce on the curb like it's the only stage

Nobody rich enough to steal my days

Verse

Mailbox rattles wind through the seam

Letter's long, I read it slow and clean

Momma's voice still on the answering machine

Still got the receipts from last year's dream

Bus stop bench got a crack in the wood

Same four seats but only one get stood

Every dollar folded up like a wish

City think money's everything we miss

Pre-Chorus

Who you trust when the block don't lean

Which corner got the real scheme in

Hold your own, hold your head up

That's the only currency that don't get used up

Chorus

I keep my cash in pocket not a chain

City got a rival but I ain't playing games

Bounce on the curb like it's the only stage

Nobody rich enough to steal my days

Bridge

Corner store lady still know my name

Says the rent due, says don't delay

She ain't checking no receipts or proof

Just believes that what we say is truth

Chorus

I keep my cash in pocket not a chain

City got a rival but I ain't playing games

Bounce on the curb like it's the only stage

Nobody rich enough to steal my days
