The OBGMs - WAVE Lyrics

It's too late
Too late for my city
Burn the f*cker down
Fan the flames then
Then I'll eat all the ashes, whoa

Weigh this city
With a grain salt
And take no loss
Steal my culture
Till you sell it back to me and gentrify
I've worked too long, too hard
I'm paralyzed
By the city
Live to tell the tale how I survive
From now on, now on
I'm fighting for the prize,
So long I'm never looking back

Watch you drown in my wave
This city won't take me down to my grave
F*ck that motherf*cker, f*ck that
I need to save myself
I don't want to drown in all the things I've failed
I'll watch you drown in my wave.

Gave my heart, my soul, to the city
They won't give a shit till you take a f*cking pic with Drizzy, hoe
Fake handshakes, fake smiles, gatekeepers
In a crab bucket with a glass ceiling fighting for my life

Lord you know I try to be civil
But these motherf*ckers can't get our f*cking name right
From now on, now on
I'm fighting for the prize,
So long I'm never looking back

Watch you drown in my wave
This city won't take me down to my grave
F*ck that motherf*cker, f*ck that
I need to save myself
I don't want to drown in all the things I've failed
I'll watch you drown in my wave.

This city won't take me underground
This city won't change who I am now
I know exactly what to do
I know just exactly what to do
I'm never coming back to you
This city won't take me down to my grave."
