Verse
City life is what you make it, they say
I’m tired; I want to get me some. Sleep
Where can I rest, my weary head now? oh yeah!
On a park bench, in the rain
Vodka gin and cardboard city
Helps me through the night
Chorus x 2
City life
Getto vibes
Waking nights, I still feel the pain
Verse
Getto life, I’m terrorized. I pray for my salvation
Many die, few survive
Streets are paved with what you sow, they say
What I want is that feeling, of escape
Until then
Vodka gin and cardboard city
Helps me through the night
Chorus x 2
Verse
The hustlers make all the money
They approach me late at night
I gave in to temptation, effects held me tight
To sustain my vice, I have to sell it to
To keep my habit alive
Verse
Mamma’s not there and my pupa
Don’t even know my name
People spits on you say get a life
Another shot helps relieve the pain, but
Vodka gin and cardboard city
Helps me through the night
Verse
Don’t believe the hype
It’s an uncouth life
In my sleep, I cry in shame
Another shot relieves the pain.
One day ill get it right
But until then, vodka, gin
And cardboard city,
Helps me through the night
