City Like This Lyrics

(In a city like this, like this)
(In a city like this, like this)

(Yeah)

[Verse 1: Ben Steelz]

It'a be in a city like this, that's filled with morbid attraction
You never know what can get traction on your soul, feel him'

I need another quick fix to pick me up (Uh)
Still got some succulent lips stained on my cup (Ya)

It's not about to be hit or miss it's a must in
Like cuffs I'm locked in, Subway car to the top in
Break away never stoppin', failure never no option, Vice
4 in the morning still want it, gimme my slice (Ya)
(Do it again)

And now it's morning out the door, my incentive
For ends to meet and after work we're feeling suggestive
So I call my friend who got drinks that never end, It's
The weekend, and we always be gettin' Festive
, I

Know that shouldn't but I really can't help it so
Thanks for your thoughts and the kisses with the X and O's
I keep em' saved and some day I'll be swimmin' in dough
And even the neighbor can't tell who's playin' and rappin' alone
[Hook: Ben Steelz]

We lock down, keep it the tightest (Keep it the tightest)
Titans in N-Y-C, being the nicest
We came to check I.D, and multiply, It's
Ready to kill our spree, spit like a virus (Spit like a)

In lock down, keep it the tightest (Tightest)
Titans in N-Y-C, being the nicest
It's like the city in me, It's all night
It's the city like this, up in a city like this
In a

[Chorus]

In a city like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this
Burn down stages

(Up in the motherfuckin')

City like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this
In a city like this
Be the leader of the quest

[Verse 2: Ben Steelz]

Find a friend that will be better than foes
Who keeps you together or cut em' off like Kylie Minogue (Damn)
It's one or the other and I ain't one for fashion and vogue
So keep me read on your phone, we'll see how long that'll go

I'm one who want's to be seen, never not hidden unknown
That's why I rent this apartment and sleep in covers alone

Don't knock on my doors unless you post men, or Post Malone
Go to direct deposit, I can't afford a loan

I need a ride or die who's legal to set with
A finer piece to mantel, boat to Staten and bet with
A see the sunset with, signed open check
It's not a concrete Jungle, It's a mess pit now check it

Livin' and maybe make it uh, for tonight
Keep it lit just like the lights, always day never night, yeah (Never night yeah)
An opportunity, make it here make it anywhere (Anywhere)
So ain't no folding my hand like I'm playing solitaire (Huh)

[Hook: Ben Steelz]
We lock down, keep it the tightest (Keep it the tightest)
Titans in N-Y-C, being the nicest
We came to check I.D, and multiply, It's
Ready to kill our spree, spit like a virus (Spit like a)

In lock down, keep it the tightest (Tightest)
Titans in N-Y-C, being the nicest
It's like the city in me, It's all night
It's the city like this, up in a

(Up in the motherfuckin')

[Chorus]

In a city like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this
Burn down stages

(Up in the motherfuckin')

City like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this
Burn down stages
In a city like this

In a city like this
Be the leader of the quest
