Fighting through to haze of another damn day
Remembering who I used to be
Walking through the streets I was born and raised
Funny how they'll out live me
Take a drive down 35th avenue
Knowing it'll never be the same
But the stand still traffic on the 202
Tells me some things will never change
Tell me will I ever change
Maybe I've already changed

This city, she cuts like a knife
Better learn to love the fast pace life
She's a bittersweet town
She can break you down
This city, she sees no rain
Holds no grudges and knows no shame
She can make or break a man
Well this city made me who I am
She made me who I am

Countless nights above the city lights
Where the mountains know my name
Think about the years gone by
And the memories they contain
Another day over 118
Tomorrow's even higher
But nights like these created me
Here in the city of fire
Here in the city of fire

This city, she cuts like a knife
Better learn to love the fast pace life
She's a bittersweet town
She can break you down
This city, she sees no rain
Holds no grudges and knows no shame
She can make or break a man
Well this city made me who I am

This city, she cuts like a knife
Better learn to love the fast pace life
She's a bittersweet town
She can break you down
This city, she sees no rain
Holds no grudges and knows no shame
She can make or break a man
Well this city made me who I am
Made me who I am
