The City
The Aves Lyrics

They ain know I was this typa pressure
They didn't know what I was really capable of

They tried to stop me ain neva lettem
People have tried to bring me down, but I never let them

Dem hard times only made me better
Difficult times have only made me stronger

And speakin on ah nigga name Only made her wetter yay
Talking about me only makes my girl more attracted to me

I lost my dawgs to the streets I swea that shit was crazy
I lost my friends to violence in the streets, it was a crazy experience

Niggaz claimin they was gone slide But they was tradin bases
People claimed they would come after me, but they were just trading insults

Bout my dawg Bitch it's gun smoke and shell cases And bout my fam Bitch its gun smoke Like cancer patients
Threats against my friends or family will result in violence, like gun smoke, and it's as harmful as cancer

I swea to god i can't take it no mo It got me feelin likum bout the explode All the shit that we done been through Hoes we done ran through Tell me watchu envy me fo
I can't handle the stress anymore, it's making me feel like I'm going to explode. After all the things we've been through, what do you have to envy?

Let me address it Ave street ain neva need yo help bitch I had my own shit So I wan worried bout yo necklace I got it out the mud So myself I invest in And i take care of me So I can't worry bout the next man
Let me say it loud and clear: I never needed anyone's help, especially not yours. I got what I needed on my own and I invest in myself. I take care of my own business and I don't worry about anyone else's.

Dey say I fell off I switched up and now um south paw Um two fresh but um three raw Umma let these bitches have it And I do it on my own Ain braggin nigga
People say I've fallen off, but I've actually just switched it up and now I'm even fresher. I'm going to let these haters have it, and I don't need to brag. I do it all on my own.

Um comin straight outta the muck Bitch um one of the hardest And really live wat I rap This ain't no cappin and flodgin I put the muck on my back Every time um recordin
I come from the bottom and I'm one of the hardest to come out of there. I really live what I rap about, I'm not faking it. I carry the weight of my community on my back every time I make music.

And I ain beggin for support Cuz umma ball regardless My cousin shep say they feelin me Lil ave street they like yo energy I make her wet everytime i speak And Shawty fuck wit ah nigga Cuz um really g
I don't need anyone's support, I'm going to make it happen no matter what. My cousin and my community feel me, they love my energy. I make my girl excited whenever I talk, and she's into me because I'm real.

And ion understand da hatin Um like how you do that Claimin you love me and you fa me But don't really show that They love be stepped on Sumtin like ah dirty door mat
I don't understand why people would hate on me, especially the ones who say they love me. If you truly loved me, you wouldn't treat me like a doormat.

I been sum places i didn't like And i don't wanna go back Somebody save me Billy told me pay that shit no attention My mama told me son focus And stop gettin in yo feelins
I've been in some tough situations and I don't want to go back. I need someone to save me. Billy told me to ignore the negativity, and my mom told me to focus and stop being emotional.

Get in yo bag and on you grind And fuck whoever ain't wit it And keep dem talkin ass niggas Lo from outta yo business this shit real
Get to work and forget anyone who isn't with you. Ignore the people who just talk and stay focused on your own business. This is real life.

I just pray woe get appeal Fuck how ya feel Umma gangsta that get money foreal
I'm hoping for a good outcome, but I don't really care what others think. I'm a gangsta that makes real money.

Stay out the way aye I just stay out the way aye I be talkin to this mic But I really be preachin And I like chillin by myself Cuz these niggaz be leachin
I stay out of trouble and mind my own business. I may talk into a mic, but I'm really preaching. I like spending time alone because people are always trying to use me.

I swea my money and my pistol Only thang I be needin And if i fuck witcha um dea Fa anytime datchu need me
I swear, all I need is my money and my gun. And if I'm with you, I'm always there for you.

Dis real shit back in style Like ah snapback And we don't call it takin loses We say setback and we got guns But only show'em wen it's combat
Real life is back in style, like a snapback hat. We don't lose, we just have setbacks. We have guns, but we only use them in combat situations.

Lo dey know you really special But yo city want admit dat Hold up eight mixtapes in Still um goin in ten plus videos And hits from back den
Lo, they know you're really special, but your city won't admit it. You already have eight mixtapes and ten plus videos, and old hits that people still love.

I can go way back Talkin golds and big pants To how dey played yah doe Three times at every dance
I go way back, talking about wearing gold chains and big pants. I remember how people would play my music three times at every dance.
