Bure - TheGCity (Ft. Cait Macklon)

[Intro: Cait Macklon]
No one knows me better than my city
No one knows me better than my city
No one knows me better than my city, ty, ty, ty-ty

[Verse 1: Bure]
Look, I grew up in the 'Deen
Where the weather is cold and the streets never clean
That's my city though
We sitting pretty though
Scotland's finest man, that's all you really need to know
The city taught me how to stand up
All my niggas in my circle we just fucking band up
St. Joe's, ISA, had to put my hand up
From the immature kid, bruh, I had to man up
I had my hardest times, I also had my best
This is home for me, I wear that shit across my chest
Boy to man it saw me grow, now I'm lеaving the nest
Taught me just to bе myself, that's the ultimate test
AB10 had me living carefree
AB32 saw me struggle to find out what it means to be me
Wouldn't change a thing about it 'cause it's my life
'Cause true say the lows are as important as the highlights

[Pre-Chorus 1: Bure]
Back in the day when I would act up sometimes
I was a sheep and not a shepherd, didn't know what was mine
I tried to be like everybody else
At the time I was blind, not seeing any of the beauty in myself
Now, it took me a while to feel accepted, I can't lie
Too many times where I was steady painted as the bad guy
But I know sometimes that shit was valid
Wish I had another chance so I can try and be the best like Khaled
Gone
[Chorus: Cait Macklon]
No one knows me better than my city
Take me to the sea where being free is easy
Every story, every feeling
The grass is always greener when it's here that I am living
One thing stays the same
When people grow up and seasons change
No one knows me better than my city

[Post-Chorus: Bure]
Aberdeen, man, the city is mine
Keep my head down, hustle hard and stay on the grind
Aberdeen, man, the city is mine
Keep my head down, hustle hard and stay on the grind

[Verse 2: Bure]
Look, I grew up in the 'Deen
Where the weather is cold and the streets never clean
AB10 to AB15
No matter where I go, I just gotta bring the team
Yo, blinding lights of the city
I'm proud to rep the north, I ain't never takin' pity
Hard times got a nigga on this track so gritty
Drippin' with the granite swag 'cause a nigga so pretty
From the ground up, I just rose like a phoenix
Hold the kingdom in my heart like I work for Square Enix
Pack a Kleenex, I'ma leave you sneezing
The weather and my bars must be related 'cause them bitches mighty freezing
Everyday of our lives it's gettin' colder and colder
Standing strong like Atlas, got the world on our shoulders
A nigga getting older, man times are changing
Rearranging my priorities, ideas exchanging
[Pre-Chorus 2: Bure]
I got thick skin like the granite
My pen game on another planet
Local any time and place like I'm Janet
The city know me in and out, no need to disguise
From the cracks grew a rose, one that never dies
Yo, we only live in the moment
Yeah, we take all our skills then we perfect it and hone it
Put the city on my back like my grandmama sown it
We on top of the world, you could never dethrone it

[Chorus: Cait Macklon]
No one knows me better than my city
Take me to the sea where being free is easy
Every story, every feeling
The grass is always greener when it's here that I am living
One thing stays the same
When people grow up and seasons change
No one knows me better than my city

[Bridge: Bure]
The city taught me how to stand up (stand up, stand up..)
From that immature kid bruh, I had to man up (man up, man up..)
We on top of the world, you could never dethrone it (throne it, throne it..)
Put the city on my back like my grandmama sown it (sown it, sown it..)
