Kevin Rudolph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk the Streets Like A wanted Man
All the time got my shine lookin pretty
Mother F*****s all know Who I am
Every Day Feel The Heat In the City
Like the barrel of a smoking gun
Read the signs see the lights thier so pretty
Your the one now turn me on
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
Every day I'm alive in the city
She's a fire that lives by the sun
On the street lookin fine lookin pretty
She sucks the heat off my -- gun
I will eat you alive in the city
While they pull up in fancy cars
Drinking whine wasting time you are pretty
Politiations movie stars
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
City boy life
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
City boy life
Every day I'm a star in the city
Walk the streets like a loaded gun
All the time got my shine lookin pretty
Everybody now turn me on
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
(Hey) give it all up for me
