Uptown

(álbum: Uncomfortable - 2015)

New York City
New York City
New York City
New York City

[Hook:]
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met

We in love with the invention, we don't love the inventor
On a quiet block they puff the loud, it be smelling like it's timber
And they hit you with the fake smile, I ain't talking dentures
Starbucks on the corner, pushing bucks for that rent up
Dipping in all black like I'm venom
Keep it G, I'm not a star
But I'm raw like this denim
Them dope boys push the big body Jerome Betis
I got Santería hexes for my exes, but I'm protected
You heard that man got shot for his necklace?
That's a 1-8-7 up on 1-8-7
You know that uptown lifestyle reckless
When they eating mango and fried cheese for your breakfast
Baby, how you gon' complete your life checklist?
Spending every night watching Netflix
Time is so precious, gotta invest it where you spend it
If we prisoners to comfort, we judge our own sentence
I be uptown

[Hook:]
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met
Uptown New York City where you can spot met

I wake in that morning, get in that café con leche
Don't y'all hold that azucar
My stomach's been showing lately
Plus the crossover crazy
Don't get caught out here sleeping
That's why they call Allen Irish, man, when I ball at Cabrini
I'm throwing swishes
This right here that new school vintage
I been spending money trying not to spend up all these minutes
And I been present, man, look at what my gift is
Some push the white cause they ain't have the privilege
Let's get it!
Ain't no other city like the one I'm in
I got that Bustelo in my cup again
Jim Carrey with this here, I'm going dumb again
Me, myself and I, the only thing I'm up against
New York staying lit, rent high, paying it
La Marina, bottled water, date night favorite
My bodega on the corner, I ain't even saying
They already know my order, they just started making it, woah!

Ain't no other city make me feel this way
I been all around the world baby, but I'm here to stay
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ain't no other city make me feel this way
I been all around the world baby, but I'm here to stay
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There's no place like Uptown, New York
Ain't no other city make me feel this way
I been all around the world baby, but I'm here to stay
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
There's no place like Uptown, New York
