City Life
Escaping Urban Chains: Embracing Roots and Dreams
Lyrics
Well, I'm down and I'm out
Feeling down and out
And I've had it to here with the city life
Fed up with the urban lifestyle
Gonna grab me a plane
Planning to take a plane
That'll take me back home to my folks
Intending to return to hometown and family
Maybe real soon
Anticipating a return soon
Just as soon as I get a few dollars ahead
Once financially stable
Well, then you'll see
Confident of a positive change
Gonna show up in person
Planning to personally visit
Instead of those letters I never write
Expressing a desire to communicate in person instead of writing letters
How does that sound ma?
Seeking approval or feedback from mother
You tell Dad I got a deal
Sharing news of a lucrative opportunity with dad
That's gonna make me a million tomorrow
Believing the deal will make a million dollars soon
Yeah and it's a cinch to come through
Expressing confidence in the deal's success
If I just hang around for a little while
Expecting success by staying around for a while
Just temporarily
Temporary stay for achieving goals
City life
Reflection on the challenges and experiences of city life
Oh, city life
Repetition emphasizing the theme of city life
Oh, city life
-City life, city life
Reiteration of the challenges and experiences of city life
