Lyrics Make It in the City - Akon
[Verse
1:]
I'm
just
a
thug
on
the
other
side
of
the
law
Raised
in
the
hood,
never
though
I'd
make
it
this
far
I
went
from
standing
on
the
block,
dealing
to
my
glock
Wearing
Prada,
gold
or
triple
beam
I
even
got
hassled
a
lot,
mainly
by
crooked
cops
Life
wasn't
easy
as
it
seems
[Chorus:]
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
[Verse
2:]
Gets
harder
every
day
To
come
up
with
the
rent
and
I
ain't
got
a
job
Ain't
got
a
job
Tryna
get
the
bills
paid
But
don't
wanna
get
locked
up
no
more
Locked
up
no
more
See
my...
the
officer
Almost
caught
me
with
that
stub
Tossed
it
so
he
wouldn't
find
the
tricks
Wouldn't
find
the
tricks
Not
to
mention
my
baby
mama
The
bitch
is
as
greedy
as
fuck
That
child
support
steady
on
my
kids
[Chorus:]
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
[Verse
3:]
Got
a
little
personal
but
let
me
break
it
down
I'm
not
the
only
one
out
here
that's
going
through
it
now
It's
international,
recession's
all
around
We
gotta
be
here
for
each
other
when
it
hit
the
ground
I
know
you're
hurting
and
working
Don't
give
up,
it'll
all
work
out
Can't
ever
stop
hoping
for
certain
I'll
be
grinding
til
the
day
that
I
die
[Chorus:]
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
Where
we
stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Stay
on
the
grind
Tryna
make
it
in
the
city
