Ain't No Love
Chunk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya know like
You can't get caught up in the doubt
Just gotta stay focus yea
Look

City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights

Their eyes on me so I wonder if they get it
I stayed in the back let them have their shine
Karma comes around I have my ticket to go that's my ticket to blow
See I'm dope like a poppy plant
If you gone clone me via copy scan
This one goal I'm accomplishing
To rock this mic like God's plan
I wouldn't be here if it was up to man
Had my life in conversations with ransom
Situations that God brought me out of
Could've been gone I know I lived wrong
Took risk like trappers do
I mean I trap myself and hit licks to
Out the safe with cash this how I flipped the chips
That brought me cheese, cheese no pictures please
In my personal space my mind state
How can I stay above the crime rate

City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights
On this road

How can I stay above the crime rate
In these critical times
The president is lying
Why watch the news when ain't none of it new
I seen families split and never patch things up
Loyal friends switch I don't know who's legit
They'll knife my back, plot on my stack
When the ones you love don't love you back
That's a hard pill to swallow if you asking me
Ain't love in the city cuz they hate themselves
All these crabs I'm bout to crack their shells
You're too insecure none of your actions pure
I hear them talk about the bag is your bag secure
City never loved me I ain't trip
Stay focused I'm a give it everything I have in this moment
Chunk create a wave big enough to move an ocean
City love a Negus now everything golden

City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice




Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights

Underrated 77

My boy put me on Chunk back in "93. I had moved to Arkansas at the time. I was already on West coast music strong anyway. I was hooked automatically. A lot of people dont know about him. His music is real and so underrated.
