City of Nightmare
by Alex Faith, Tragic Hero

Album: ATLast

Verse 1: Alex Faith
When I was a young boy, my daddy had a red Cadillac on Vogues
Sitting on those whitewalls on 'em, with the bass on swole
Get a little older and I got my own, sound in the back
Sunroof top; Cartier '93, I know bout that
I worked the job, I grind it out; who's stopping me?
They hating, so they pull me over; same thing everyday
The world is getting colder; staying in a dorm with a college girl
Her man don't even know it; he speak his mind
I promise that I might just run up on him; and I got him
This how it is in Riverdale, this how it is in Zone 3
How it be in ATL; Fayetteville, they know about me
Never been a gangster, but the South can make you love them
Circumstances looking weak, but my rocket rises above them
Chase big money, drive big cars
May be in the gutter, but I'm looking at the stars
And I'm drinking in the vanity, boy it's all that we know
I'll show you how to do this here, look how hard that we go

Hook: Tragic Hero
I'm talking city full of nightmares, pocket full of dreams
Walking out of heaven; don't you wake me in between
I'm talking city full of nightmares, pocket full of dreams
Walking out of heaven; don't you wake me in between
So, this my dream; don't take nothing from me
This my dream; don't take nothing from me
This my dream; don't take nothing from me
This my dream; don't take nothing from me
I'm talking city full of nightmares, pocket full of dreams
Walking out of heaven; don't you wake me in between
I'm talking
Please don't remind me, please don't remind me
I fell asleep and they don't know where to find me
Please don't remind me, please don't remind me
I fell asleep and they don't know where to find me

Verse 2: Tragic Hero
Grill in my mouth, girl on my neck, young, coming up; keep quiet on the set
Take one; take two, take three; heart full of rage, car full of babes on deck
One time, one time, for my city I was raised in
This is CMD where EMTs don't take vacations
I get up in the morning, better get on my grind
Get a castle with a couple tenants in it to rent it
Cause the blind thinking that it's Venice, Italy
Hoping Italy here becomes the premise
We follow our leader; I put my coin in the meter
Hoping that it never runs out; what's the depth on my breather
I hold my tongue and my breath for later; definitely been suffocated
Pick a grenade from a field that has been decorated with detonators
Die for now so I live forever; if I'm the ruler and life is inches I'm taking measures
I'll push the weight up like benching plates at 10-10 to get them
Too busy American dreaming; you know that I breath for no reason
To money I pledge my allegiance I'm bleeding before that I leave, achieve it and go
Insecure in myself so don't take me as no joke
You can keep your two cents, I'm not worth you going broke

Hook

Verse 3: Alex Faith
It's that real life that we living; sittin' top of them riches
Moscato we sippin', got them models in my linen
I said wake up, homie, we don't know where we going
We living life like a schizo cause we don't know what we doing
I seen it happen around me; I was lost and they found me
Thinking I was killing, all the dead bodies around me
It's a city full of nightmares; will we ever wake up
Slaves until the count of days that you can never make up

Hook
