Lyrics:

City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
All day and night
City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
Everything's all right

While these dudes wanna hate me, these girls wanna date me
And all I'm tryna do is get a critic to rate me
Scale from one to ten, I think he's kinda nice
And this is my second CD - yeah I came twice
My offspring is this, growin' up into that
What you see on your TV, except not whack
On the radio waves Odysseus will sail
The king of Ithaca, and it's not a tall tale
Truthfully the town that birthed me kinda small
And the parents that birthed me, well, they're kinda tall
Which means I'm gettin' too big for my surroundings
And I dont mean to talk big or to be sounding
Like I'm too good for the city that raised me
These were the very first people that praised me
But if the clock stops and I run out of time
I'll always be there, just look at the skyline

City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
All day and night
City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
Everything's all right

Yo Ty, let me sneak right in
Droppin' sixteen quick, no clip, let's begin
To show 'em what's good
Hell yeah, we on fire, just misunderstood
I went *From Lenox To Lake* and the beat was *Toxic*
Now evolved and refined, so I just talk sick
Better than the corporate sell-outs, gettin' their clap on
I grind 24/7, gettin' my rap on
So yo G, keep on bumping my beat
What I learn from the streets, is what I learn to compete
Stay fresh and wise, always avoid the decline
Spit lyrics quicker than B's and C's pull the nine
What does life behold, a Civic or a Rolls?
Don't take a day for granted, empower the soul
Go for the spotlight - this case the city lights
When the curtain opens they shine all day and all night

City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
All day and night
City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
Everything's all right

Wait a second, play it back, hit rewind
Can you remember the day that I changed your mind?
Thought a rap artist couldn't look like this?
Come on, I'm Picasso, watch me paint these hits
Strokes of genius others won't come near
Yo, I'm Van Gogh, so would you lend me your ear?
I'll never follow the lead, people say "where he goin'?"
I'll just wave goodbye as my tsunami flowin'
In your ear, past your brain, down your spine
Send shivers up and down when I kick my rhyme
Snare and bass, we got a jazzy feel
With some strings and a hi-hat, this sound is real
It's alive - they saw me rise from the womb
Unable to give birth to a normal tune
They were like "damn, how'd that kid get so much soul?"
Cuz I didn't sell a rock, now watch me roll

City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
All day and night
City Lights (lights, lights)
They shine so bright
City Lights (lights, lights)
Everything's all right
