Hannibal Buress
Back In the City
[Chorus]
I'm back in the city
But I’m on different time
Different vibes
Same venues
But I'm spitting fire
Flipping rhymes
Different type of show
But the limits high
I'm really that guy
Got hella flows
Came along way from that Gibberish time

[Verse]
It was bout 2012
Get a call from Tony Trimm
Said he got a mixtape and he need a host for it
Carroll gardens studio
Freestyling jokes and shit
Clams beat played God damn I catch the Holy Spirit

[Refrain]
Rapping rap rap rapping
I’m rapping rap rap rapping
In my sock rapping
Got on my jeans
Jeans degrees
Put on deodorant
Soda shit
[Verse]
You couldn't tell me I wasn't floating with it
Cut one track of Adlibs said let's go lets get it
Aye that's the rough you ain't gone mix it?
I said what is mixing gotta hit the knit I'm dipping
I got the ballerinas
I gotta debrief the mission
I'm bout to do this song and the meanings missing
Appreciate that y’all could even be here with me
Shit was hella dumb but in my mind we making memories

[Chorus]
I’m back in the city
But I'm on different time
Different vibes
Same venues
But I’m spitting fire
Flipping rhymes
Different type of show
But the limits high
I'm really that guy
Got hella flows
Came along way from that Gibberish time

[Verse]
Yeah, I would just commit to the shit
Went to Raleigh
First time on the road with
Percy was the hype man
Phonte did the intro
That gig wild as hell
Opened the show
Standing O
Now that scene just seem gone
Used to get nervous
Doing a song
Used to just lean into the bit
If the crowd wasn't going along
Remember at Notre Dame
They didn't really get it
Did it 5 more times
Then they was just leaving
I didn’t give a fuck
I just had my reasons
Did the rough drafts in public
To keep it fun for me
And I did that now
It's probably getting deleted
But now looking back
I had to plant the seeds
Let's go
[Refrain]
Rapping rap rap rapping
I'm rapping rap rap rapping
In my sock rapping
Got on my jeans
Jeans degrees
Put on deodorant
Soda shit
