[Verse 1] I came up where the buses sigh Corner store glass, pie in the sky Mom said, "Move like you mean it" Now my name on the block got a clean hit Backpack full of plans and a lighter Eyes on the skyline, heart getting brighter From the stoop to the suite, that's a long road Same old shoes, but I walk with a new glow [Pre-Chorus] I can hear it call Through the sirens all night Big screens, bright screens Pulling me to the light If you want it, go get it If you feel it, don't let it Tonight we rise up Watch the whole block sweat it [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams We were built for bigger things Hands up, sing with me City dreams, city dreams City dreams, city dreams From the block to the peak No sleep, we lean and we breathe City dreams, city dreams [Verse 2] Metro cards and a pocket of change Still I move like I already changed Same boys on the bench in the park Talk big now, but we knew from the start I want rooftops with my people on 'em Laugh so loud make the whole street comment Gold tooth grin and a glass half full Every scar I got made the comeback cool [Pre-Chorus] I can hear it call Through the sirens all night Big screens, bright screens Pulling me to the light If you want it, go get it If you feel it, don't let it Tonight we rise up Watch the whole block sweat it [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams We were built for bigger things Hands up, sing with me City dreams, city dreams City dreams, city dreams From the block to the peak No sleep, we lean and we breathe City dreams, city dreams [Bridge] Tell me who gon' doubt us now We came with the heat and the know-how From the ground up, look at us move Every hard night had something to prove Now the whole room nod when I speak Same hunger, just a little more sleek Yeah, the city took a shot at me Now I wear that shot like a victory [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams We were built for bigger things Hands up, sing with me City dreams, city dreams City dreams, city dreams From the block to the peak No sleep, we lean and we breathe City dreams, city dreams
