Rapper Petey Lee released his music video for Consciousness (Pittsburgh State Of Mind). He raps about the grind to chase his dreams and the struggles to get there. It’s lonely at the top but such a pretty view. He’s reppin’ Pittsburgh on his way to the top.

Lyrics to Consciousness (Pittsburgh State Of Mind) by Petey Lee

[Verse 1]
They’ll never take me alive cause i’ma ride til i die/
And as long as i’m still breathing, i’ma keep my head up high/
I never aim to be the same, I gotta thrive not just survive/
You’re gonna have to take my life before you ever take my drive/
I walk with pride, it’s in my stride yet i’m on that humble vibe/
I remember times when mama cried, now I find her strength inside/
To strive and let God be my guide for I trust He will provide/
My generation on the rise, we’re that “Black & Yellow” tribe/
You can look into my eyes, right before I shoot to score/
And explore my sin more than a Slytherin gone Gryffindor/
For if love is war, we will endure cause I know it’s worth fighting for/
I’m brawling like a fallen angel kicking down Heaven’s door/
Hear my roar, girl if you make it rain then i make it pour/
And soar with you into the storm where hearts are torn and dreams are born/
And battle the swarm like infantry, i’m rattling from the intensity/
To unravel a legacy endlessly, I never gamble except with destiny!/
[Chorus]
It”s just me against the world, that’s all I ever knew/
They say it’s lonely at the top but such a pretty view/
I see my dreams coming true with the courage to pursue/
Cause this life begins and ends with you/
The hardest thing for me to do was move on to something new/
And I know we don’t really talk like we used to/
But after all that we been through, i’m still here for you/
Cause my love begins and ends with you/
[Verse 2]
Bad decisions, good intentions, find the beauty in imperfections/
If mistakes are life’s lessons, all my bruises count as blessings/
My confessions are repressed and self inflicted upon my flesh/
For i’m conflicted with every breath, they draw me one step closer to death/
So I encrypted all my stress, scripted it by lifting it off my chest/
No longer afflicted by regret, now i’m addicted to success/
And i’m the best girl you never had cause I got my path, my direction back/
South Oakland that’s my habitat and we been through hell so i’m repping that/
Trapped in the lab, i’m cooking tracks and I rap like casting magic/
With a style more classic than Socrates on shrooms and acid/
Nas when he wrote Illmatic, Eminem as recovering addict/
And 2pac before the shots, tear drops and closet casket/
A tragic maverick, my heart’s the strongest muscle/
When i stumble I get up and run it back like a fumble/
If you don’t know my struggle, how could you feel my hustle?/
We pop “Guns and” drop “Roses”, “Welcome To The Jungle”
