These Streets (feat. Ryan Oakes)

from Jet & the Valkyrie by Finn M-K

lyrics

I come downtown just to feel alive
There's a kind of magic in these streets
Kicking to a beat, tripping on a high
Sipping on the ichor of this city
Sun on my skin, not a cloud in the air
Nothing on my list to do but be here
I come downtown just to energize
There's a kind of magic in these streets, yeah, and I know, I know

You can have the countryside
I'll take the concrete
Give me the city lights
'Cause I can go there every night
And there'll be something for me
There's something for me

In these streets
But I can't work it out
In these streets
I work it, work it out
Come on and move with me
And work it, work it out
Flex and just strut your feet
And work it, work it out

I used to want to run from my hometown
I took it to the west coast and made it my home now
I had a lot of drive, never cried, never broke down or took breaks
Never crashed, I never slowed down
Nothing feels better to me than all that concrete
Surrounded by palm trees with the sun shining on me
The possibilities are always feeling so endless
Might be surrounded by pavement but I was never cemented
'Cause I was so free, soul searching for purpose
Running from all of my doubts while getting lost in the circus downtown
With no shirt, no shoes, getting service
Forgetting all of my burdens waiting behind all the curtains
To get a chance just to go shine
Might take a couples L's but I know I'll be fine
In love with the process I've never been afraid to grind
I'mma keep on going 'til the city is mine, until the city is mine
Oakes

You can have the countryside
I'll take the concrete
Give me the city lights
'Cause I can go there every night
And there'll be something for me
There's something for me

In these streets
Take it to the west coast
But I can't work it out
In these streets
Take it to the west coast
I work it, work it out
Get a chance just to go shine, might take a couples L's but I know I'll be fine
Come on and move with me
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on girl, come on and work out
And work it, work it out
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on baby girl, come and work out
Flex and just strut your feet
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on girl, come on and work out
And work it, work it out
I'mma keep on going 'til the city is mine, until the city is mine
