Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I love the city and the friends I got
I love the city and the friends I got
Habit is a friend of mine
I keep tryna fight
And I lose once in a while
I'm waving the white flag
Habit is a friend of mine
I keep tryna fight
But today I can't even really think 'bout the reasons why
I love the city and the friends I got
Somedays, I'm sitting on a rock
Hm, yeah, I want to wanna want to wanna come back
I love the city and the friends I got
Somedays, I'm sitting on a rock
Hm, yeah, I want to wanna want to wanna come back
I took a walk through my neighborhood street
To take a break from my bedroom sleep
I took a stop by the store to break from the bore
Break what I've done before
Ooh
Hm, yeah, I want to wanna want to wanna come back
I love the city and the friends I got
Somedays, I'm sitting on a rock
Hm, yeah, I want to wanna want to wanna come back
I wonder if we get a second chance
I'm scared to leave cause they might forget
But if I can't be alone
Then how will I know
That this is where I belong
(This is where I belong)
