I was born inside this city
I gave my all
I rise and fall
I climbed the walls
I made a name
Yeah I found fame
I tasted pain
And I was to blame
I lived and breathed
I planted seed
I fed my need
I wore my knees
If I don't get out I'm gonna die
Dragged down by truth and lies
I'm running out of time
How do I find strength to let it go
With everything that I know
Everything that I call home
And I tried
I tried so hard
Yeah I tried
I tried so hard
It takes a village
It takes it's toll
I am surrounded
I am alone
I smell the coffee
I wear the scars
I look for meaning
But I can only see so far
If I don't get out I'm gonna die
Dragged down by all the lies
I'm running out of time
How do I find strength to let it go
With everything that I know
Everything that I call home
And I tried
I tried so hard
And I tried
I tried so hard
And I tried
Tried so hard
And I tried, so hard
Inside this city
