lirik lagu emilio rojas & katori walker - city never loved us
[intro: emilio rojas]
look
[verse 1: emilio rojas]
i’m from a city where the industry done vanished
you ride or eastside or you can pull up on two casa and hear women speaking spanish
there’s dirty politicians, even mans with some scandals
and the murder rate is high, that’s why there’s faces with some candles
every other block, there’s memorials of so much so much shot
but we desensitize ‘fore they gentrify the same f~ckin’ spots
they buildin’ condominiums on murder scenes
probably pourin’ the cement and charge rent before the blood get clean
they spendin’ money on cops and mass incarceration
’cause we got budgets for punishment but not education
just heroin and prescriptions and medication
but big farmer and the homies are trapped, got different destinations
one is in the federal reserve, the other’s in the feds
one already rich, the other did some sh~t to get ahead
this life is different with a different address
but nothing’s stoppin’ us from gettin’ them checks, nah
[chorus: emilio rojas]
this city never loved us
we was out there grindin’, tryna get up out the gutter
we was only interested in shinin’ with our brothers (shinin’, shinin’ with our brothers), yeah
the city never loved us (the city never loved us)
i know the city never loved us
we was out there grindin’, tryna get up out the gutters
we the products of the double shifts and single mothers (double shifts and single mothers), yeah
we know the city never loved us (we know the city never loved us), yeah
[verse 2: emilio rojas]
we used to be hoopin’ and actin’ stupid, up at kive’s h~ll
while i was grindin’ on them curves of them drug addicts that buy pills
that sh~t was like a wasteland, they’ll get you for your sp~ce jams
and tuck this trap back in they jeans, the supreme waistbands
mommy’s on the track half~naked, but she gon’ up and freeze
she know you trickin’ a winner, you still need summer’s eve
’cause bein’ a fiend is expensive, so ain’t no love for free
plus, she need the funds to buy bundles like she was coppin’ weed (for real)
i got some g’s that hustle for them pateks
but they couldn’t read the watch, they only f~ck with ’em for status
the type of motherf~ckers left my cousin with a habit
he was functional up until he wasn’t and he started scammin’ (d~mn)
with public servants for the money did the private sector
and rappers say that they truth, but they failed a lie detector (hahahaha)
if you ain’t grind, then i cannot respect it (nah)
you wanna thrive? it take a lot of effort, yeah
[chorus: emilio rojas & katori walker]
this city never loved us
we was out there grindin’, tryna get up out the gutter
we was only interested in shinin’ with our brothers, yeah (shinin’, shinin’ with our brothers), yeah
the city never loved us (the city never loved us)
i know the city never loved us
we was out there grindin’, tryna get up out the gutters
we the products of the double shifts and single mothers (double shifts and single mothers), yeah
we know the city never loved us (we know the city never loved us), look
[verse 3: katori walker]
i heard these streets was paid for promises, they all lies
i heard that karma is a b~tch and plus, her walls dry
i watched them homies jump off that porch and lose they lesion, watch ’em all die
and livin’ up in the city will leave you mortified and mortalized
unorganized, and all this goofy sh~t is gettin’ normalized
and i deprive from the realest sh~t, look who you dealin’ with
n~ggas who rob they own day ones done hit the dealership
hittin’ houses in rich neighborhoods, that’s called a business trip
huh, yeah, the city never loved us
the coldhearted will leave your flesh cold and under covers
the coroner know us all too well, know them walls too well
we know these scars too well, we know them bars too well
makin’ progress? yeah, it’s hard to tell
see, my mama still stuck on bottles, them homies is pushin’ throttles
and b~tches is stealin’ thotto, the enemies still a rival
the money is still an idol, we selfish, we need a bible
