Lyrics Akon – Make It In The City

Verse 1:
I’m just a thug, on the other side of the law
Raised in the hood, never thought I’d make it this far
I went from standing on the block

Chorus:
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)

Verse 2:
Gets harder everyday
To come up with the rent and ain’t got a job
Trying to keep the bills paid
But don’t wanna get locked up no more
See, my parole officer almost caught me with that stuff
Tossed it so he wouldn’t find a trace
Not to mention my baby momma, the bitch is greedy as fuck
Got child support steady on my case

Chorus:
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)

Verse 3:
Got a little personal, but let me break it down
I’m not the only one out here going through it now
It’s international, recessions all around
We gotta be here for each other when it hit the ground
I know you heard it, and work it
Don’t give up it’ll all work out
Can’t never stop hoping, for certain
I be grinding until the day that I die

Chorus:
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
Just trying to make it in the city
Where we stay on the grind (stay on the grind
x3)
