My city, my city
(My City Glory)
I was going 60 in a 35, I was 25
Looking for a life worth living, not a live and lie
And yet I had a brief case of paradise; dressed to the nines in a suit and tie
But that got wrinkled with time, it lost all it's magic I guess
The nightlife meant more than my mattress ever did
It's nights like this, I always reminisce
When my life was a mess, yeah my life wasn't sh..
It's hard to get through
And find some headroom
It's time to improve you
Got you feeling like it's,
So hard to get through
And find some headroom
When you're stuck missing moves
It's time you put your best foot forward
For now, you know the choice is yours
As you toe the line, line oh
It's time you put your best foot forward
For now, you know the choice is yours
As you toe the line, line oh
You always take a step back and toe the line again (x4)
My city story started on the day I left
Locked in and loaded up all of my sentiment
Trapped in a car with nothing but the memories
Of the people that I left and what they meant to me
Listening to Black Balloon, I was waving goodbye
Racing towards the afternoon, with a tear in my eye
If you feel the magnitude of your feelings inside
Well here's a fact for you about being alive
(Some of this)
Shit's hard to get through
(You gotta) find some headroom
It's time to improve you
Got you feeling like it's,
So hard to get through
And find some headroom
When you're stuck missing moves
It's time you put your best foot forward
For now, you know the choice is yours
As you toe the line, line oh
It's time you put your best foot forward
For now, you know the choice is yours
As you toe the line, line oh
You always take a step back and toe the line again (x4)
Take your two steps first
You can rest in stride
It's all about the way you run your mind
Take it two steps first
With your left and right
You're not about to stay and toe the line
You always take a step back and toe the line again (x4)
