Fighting through the haze of another damn day Remembering who I used to be Walking through the streets I was born and raised Funny how they'll outlive me Take a drive down 35th Avenue Knowing it'll never be the same But the standstill 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
