In the City
Mama Kin Lyrics

Much too young to be running around
Being young and naive in a big city can be overwhelming and dangerous.

So many places left to be found
The city is full of opportunities and adventures for those who are willing to explore.

Out in the streets the cool kids hang out
There are always people trying to belong to a group and get accepted, even if it means pretending to be someone else.

It's just another night
The city is always in constant motion, and every night brings new experiences and challenges.

Telling lies is your only disguise
People often have to pretend to be someone else to fit in and avoid rejection, even if it means lying.

Got shut out ain't no big surprise
It's easy to get excluded or rejected in a big city where there's a lot of competition for social status.

Out in the cold there’s no way back in
Once you get rejected or excluded from certain groups, it's hard to find a way back in and be accepted.

They'll have their way with you
In a city, people can easily take advantage of others who are vulnerable or inexperienced.

It ain't always what it seems to be
The city can be full of illusions and deception, and what looks good on the surface might not be so in reality.

Ain't looking pretty
Life in the city can be ugly and harsh, and people often have to endure hardships and struggles.

Caught in between success and misery

Gotta stay tough if you wanna survive
In a city, people have to be resilient and strong to overcome challenges and adversities.

Talk too much and you're gonna die
In a city, people have to be cautious with who they trust and what they say, as it can have consequences.

The night's black but the vision is clear
Despite the darkness and uncertainty of the night, people can have a clear understanding of their goals and aspirations.

You better make a stand
In a city, people have to be brave and stand up for themselves to achieve their goals and get what they want.

Hit by hit never givin' up
In a city, people often face setbacks and failures, but they have to keep pushing forward and never give up.

Down for the count never gonna stop
No matter how many times they get knocked down, people have to get back up and keep moving forward.

Bring the pain it's a crazy game
Life in the city can be brutal and unforgiving, and people have to be ready to face obstacles and challenges that might cause them pain and suffering.

The days are way too long
In a city, time passes quickly, but the days can feel long and exhausting due to the constant hustle and bustle.

Keep coming back for more
Despite the challenges and difficulties, people keep coming back to the city because of the opportunities and experiences it offers.

Though you never get it right
Even if people don't achieve their dreams or goals in the city, they keep trying because of the hope and excitement it holds.

You dont know what's in store
In a city, anything can happen, and people have to be ready for the unexpected and the unknown.

So slip into the night
