I was born in the city, but it ain't my home
But i think the girls here so pretty, guess there ain't no use being alone
So I think I'll rent me an apartment, somewhere with a view
With enough space for me my guitar and maybe you too
I like me some open spaces, but around here they're hard to find
(I was born to chase it, gotta get up outta here and leave these niggas in the dust, call it motivation)
All the cars and the city's commotion
(Every spot I move I'm in the wall, y'all better give a muhf*cka room niggas got rent to pay)
Got me losin my mind
(Told her I gotta take mine stuff the mattress and the pocket same time
Baby girl I'd love to say that I had something for you but I can't lie)
So I think I'll rent me an apartment, somewhere with a view
With enough space for me my guitar and maybe you too
So I put my clothes up in the hamper by the love seat
Tucked deep sunk up in the corner by the sunk heater
Crushed between the dingy wall and mattress are my amps, cables
Stands, tables, unpack em as soon as I'm able
A fatal blow struck my local schemes now I hope and fiend
For city lights to scope the scene of glow and sheen and broken dreams
On the other side of these train tracks where fake cats chase Maybachs
A race I find bizarre I just need space for my guitar baby"
I was born in the city still don't feel like home
But girl if you can bear with me guess there ain't no use being alone
So I think I'll rent me an apartment somewhere with a view
With enough space for me my guitar
And baby you too
