Metropolis Lyrics - Singles - Metro Boomin

Sometimes I feel like I've drifted, I feel different I feel gifted 

I've been high so long, don't need to smoke to get lifted 

I've been under pressure looking for Nikki 

Whenever she is around, you know I come quickly 

Vivid memories of Chicago, south side where I go 

From Reggies to the House of Blues, progress is the motto 

Man the first show that I ever done sold out was in Chicago 

Yeah, yeah, living like I've been ready to die 

Maybe not, I don't know why my mind is changing 

Rearranging this dangerous melody, uh 

Yeah, and I know that ain't nobody finna ever be ahead of me 

All that competition right there is dead to me 

Yeah, uh, yeah, I've been turning the pages 

Feeling the vibe, shit is outrageous 

Boy, I've been feeling courageous 

This shit right here, I've been at it for ages 

Feels like I'm running through mazes, everybody has they phases 

Yeah, vibe with this, bad bitch in the whip and I ride to this 

And I'm feeling it uh, hope when I'm forty I'm still in it 

One of the few that be killing it uh 

Yeah, young motherfucker that be giving what he living 

On the road to success you know that I'm driven 

But they didn't wanna publish it, but right now I'm on some other shit 

I'm in a different world, I'm with a different girl 

I'm with the same team, but it's a different scheme 

Remember back when I couldn't even pay the bills 

And I'll never forget how that feels back when I would

Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it I'm gone 

Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it I'm gone 

Okay, doing what I gotta do, flying at this altitude 

I look out of the window like goddamn, that's what I really do 

Don't know why I fear the planes, sometimes I wish to sustain 

If I look back on it I would do it all over again 

Nikki, Nikki, where you been? I can't wait to breathe you in 

Been on this plane way too long, I can't wait to see you again 

Oh my God this turbulence has got me sippin' on this liquor 

Crazy racist white bitch looking at us like "Who are these niggas?" 

First class, on they ass, all complain that's when I dash 

Just landed in Europe and this model bitch is tryna smash 

Now I'm riding on the train, all this shit inside my brain 

Just left a hotel in Belgium, damn them waffles was insane 

Smoking blunts in Amsterdam, oh my God this is my jam 

May-December by Mos Def in my headphones, that's the man 

Photos 

I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by 

And they wonder why I never get high 

And they wonder why I never get high 

Okay, fuck affiliation, I'm that dude that did it on his own 

These thoughts inside my mind, be fuckin' with me when I'm all alone 

I really like this girl she bad as fuck, why must I run away? 

It feel like self assassination, I can't put this gun away 

God damn, what's the plan? Not complacent where I am 

Reminiscing when I hit the road back in that mini van 

Broke as fuck, not a dollar, whipping that Chevy Impala 

Praying that we make it out this city, Lord willin', Insha'Allah 

Up to date the couple years, now my idols are my peers 

I was on the road to nowhere till I decided to veer 

Put my everything into this shit, you know, I know you know this 

Used to give a fuck what people thought, hoping that they would notice 

Stop giving a fuck cause music gotta be the only motive 

Mind racing on and off the track, I'm going locomotive 

I can't believe you don't like Tarantino 

Ugh, I don't like him because, like, when it's non like non-Tarantino-esque, I think it's a good movie 

You mean like Inglourious Basterds? 

I didn't see that 

What?! 

I didn't, I don't know 

Oh my God, have you seen Pulp Fiction 

Yeah, but I don't really remember it 

What you talking about? Have you seen uh, this is funny cause we're on the train, have you seen, fuck! What's his name. The guy from the movie, in the place on the 

On the train? With the scenery? 

Uh, I'm tryna remember right now, dammit, Source Code
