Hope in Dirt City
Cadence Weapon

I’m from the city with the malls and the detailed directories

All my friends are dropouts and retail celebrities

The kid in the back, yeah, he works at AA

But did you know that every Sunday he goes to AA, hey

I wonder what they’d say

“He’s the LCD like DFA”

She’s his GF, he’s working on a BFA

Now he’s making news like C.F. Kane

Tryna make a move, transitional pace

Drinking Canadian Club in Canadian clubs

Our brains used to float on Arabian rugs

Two out of three wishes is to feel less listless

We were the troubled kids, all concerned with existence

With each and every promise left unfettered

No one that I know buys records

So I keep a record of that whenever I record

[Hook]

A menace comes over the city

And I can’t get over it

Sometimes it seems too gritty

Doesn’t mean we can’t be friends

And hope’s name was Anya, way back then

Sure, I live here but at least I have friends

Go up too fast, you might get the bends

Beancounters for spins, I sleep above trends

See in those days, I was dead on arrival

The rappers hated me because I didn’t read the bible

And just because I’d thought the Source had fallen off

They just kept on chopping their blocks, the little curb servers

Certain persons got no way out

It’s just the boys on the bus, yeah, we know how to scout it

City kid, what you tellin’ me about it?

Got a rainstick trick, power generation

I will not be afraid, of my habitation

Life on the Avenue of Nations

Hope diamond gripping, slope sliding, slipping

I wanna make you feel different

[Hook]

A menace comes over the city

And I can’t get over it

Sometimes it seems too gritty

Doesn’t mean we can’t be friends

And I know you found someone new, I can’t get over you
