Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
No
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
You know that we
Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
I been working for the sun to shine
I ain't got a lot of time, all my homies dying
Droppin' 40 on these lames since it was '99
Matter fact, word to Kobe dropping 81
Going far as I wanna go
Sticking to what I know
I might gain the whole world
But I will not lose my soul
Look at what he created
Small beginnings to greatness
He can use anything
From drug dealers to the faded
So we moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
Pretty, but we workin'
You know that we
Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
Pretty, but we workin'
We got it straight from the block
Pushin' the rock
Virginia high-made
Lotta pain I wouldn't trade
Rep VA Like AI
Been at it since three, gettin' active
So don't talk about practice
You know the town 'bout all the action
Aye
Since I put God first, I been winning everyday
But when I'm riding down the street, I can't believe, to the world, I'm like they prey
Aye, aye, aye
RIP Ahmaud Arbery
Man, I don't know what to say
Aye
Aye, aye, aye
But you know that we
Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
You know that we
Moving through the city
Got it from the gritty
Dancing like I'm diddy
It ain't pretty, but we workin'
Pretty, but we workin'
