[Verse 1]
In the city can you hear the heart beating fast
Where a young man pulls his heat and blasts
Different cliques
Rival competing clash
They rather take the street than a seat in class
Drugs, wars, thugs, whores
Poor people sleeping on rugs, floors
Drive by shootings, slugs soar
They hit another crib but it plugs yours
No hope, snow, dope is what they slang but hang by they own rope
Spending jail time how you gon' cope
It's emotional in the heart when alone
Scope out the city

[Verse 2]
In the city can you see the heart bleeding heavy
Out of towners'll come they not even ready
Bums pushing on carts sleeves are sweaty
Just listen close and hear it breathing heavy
Narcos, parks strolls, beware of the alleys and dark roads
They say the night can turn the heart cold
Where the lost souls isn't taught and aren't told
Gamble spots, ammo shots
Bang bang in the club
[?]
Feel the heat in the street the way a candle's hot
Shorties look up to dealers that handle knots
In the city
[Verse 3]
In the city can you feel the heart when it thumps
See everything is cool then it jumps
[?]
The life that gets pockets feeling looted
Evil hides inside a [?]
You can get grilled, killed, or muted
Court cases, abort places, dealers know fiends [?]
They gotta have it they gotta support [?]
Selling things from rings to [?]
I swear it's feeling like a heart attack
From the blocks and the streets to where the parks is at
In the city
