| I grew up in a city
|
| Where they never gave a pity or a fuck
|
| Unless you’re doing grime or UK hip hop
|
| Shit, I guess you’ll never buss
|
| But I was thinking different
|
| Wasn’t off the acid but I always had a vision
|
| How I saw the USA was up for acquisition
|
| So I got a pen and pad and jotted down my proposition, uh
|
| The British Coming
|
| We did it on our own, no help, no nothing
|
| And as far as pulling through for my city
|
| Well, I guess it got me feeling like a plunger
|
| Uh, I wonder if they love me or they hate
|
| Cause of what I’m wearing instead of digesting what I’m saying
|
| The internet, it has a way to make me look good
|
| And my Instagram is looking like a look book
|
| But why the fuck I got more followers on that than on my SoundCloud?
|
| Shit is scary, man, it’s making Suge shook
|
| So I’mma keep my lyrics so clean not even 7 maids will find a speckle of dirt
|
| in between
|
| And have the elders playing this shit to their teens and tell em this what hip
|
| hop needs
|
| Bright lights in my city, I’m dark knight
|
| Off a xanee cause I got long flight
|
| I told my baby girl I gotta save the city
|
| Cause within my city, man, they call me dark knight
|
| I’m the dark knight of my city
|
| Catch me on the block all night
|
| And I ain’t worried bout my sinners
|
| They be riding with me till I die
|
| They see me rollin in the streets
|
| So they know it’s alright
|
| Yeah, I’m the dark knight of my city
|
| Catch me on the block all night, on the block all night
|
| This rapping shit, I do it for my city’s sake
|
| And I should be a stylist how I changed the game
|
| Me and the music, we kinda integrate
|
| I drop a couple bars and rappers then disintegrate
|
| Lyrically, I’m punching in a different weight
|
| And fuck the other-side, I serve em like a dinner plate
|
| Anyway, let me continue what I was chatting bout
|
| I had a dream to make it overseas
|
| I called my brother Jesse, got my clothes
|
| And got my bags and started packing now
|
| He told me it would be alright, I listened
|
| Fast forward a couple months and they still doubting
|
| So many ups and downs I feel like I just climbed a mountain
|
| I find it funny how I had a fanbase in the US
|
| Before my own people finding out about me
|
| I guess it bothered me but I just kept writing
|
| Little do my city know I’m tryna make em shine
|
| For longer than a second like some lightning
|
| It’s freighting, the scene up in my city need a viking
|
| To cross the seas and hold the torch up and till it’s dying, it’s quiet
|
| Uh, yeah I swear it’s fucking quiet
|
| So now I got the labels offering
|
| My heart is saying no, my wallet saying let em in
|
| Then I play my tapes, and they saying «where's the hits?»
|
| And if I hear that one more time I swear to gosh I’m gonna be sick
|
| They tell me justify the music
|
| Tell me what you see
|
| I tell em this what hip hop needs
|
| Bright lights in my city, I’m dark knight
|
| Off a xanee cause I got long flight
|
| I told my baby girl I gotta save the city
|
| Cause within my city, man, they call me dark knight |
