City Lights
Drake, Polo G

Verse 1 - Drake:
I packed my bags, left the hometown behind,
Dreams of the skyline, got a vision in my mind.
From fields to concrete, yeah, I made that switch,
Unseen struggles, life’s a rollercoaster, what a pitch.

Chorus:
City lights shining bright, but I see the shadows too,
Riches all around me, but poverty's in view.
Glimmers of the good life, but it’s a façade,
Learnin’ from the streets, reality hit hard.

Verse 2 - Polo G:
Back in the days, we used to dream of this ride,
But no one told me about the pain that’s inside.
Everyone my age flaunting diamonds and gold,
While I was hustling, fighting battles untold.

Chorus:
City lights shining bright, but I see the shadows too,
Riches all around me, but poverty's in view.
Glimmers of the good life, but it’s a façade,
Learnin’ from the streets, reality hit hard.

Bridge:
Status and wealth, they decide your worth,
I learned young, life’s tough, not just a mirth.
Had to grind, had to hustle, make my own way,
In a world of extremes, that’s the price you pay.

Verse 3 - Drake:
I see a kid on the corner, eyes full of dreams,
While dollars in suits play with selfish schemes.
I’ll never lose sight of the lessons I learned,
In this city of highs, where the heart gets burned.

Chorus:
City lights shining bright, but I see the shadows too,
Riches all around me, but poverty's in view.
Glimmers of the good life, but it’s a façade,
Learnin’ from the streets, reality hit hard.

Outro:
So here’s to the struggle, the city, the pain,
Through all of the storms, still I dance in the rain.
From small town dreams to big city sights,
I’m building my future under these city lights.
