This City |
| Now what if I told you my city was the best |
| And my city was a threat to the rest |
| And my city was a threat to the rest |
| This city is my city |
| And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here |
| I got it made here |
| And if I have my way, I’m gonna stay |
| From every corner |
| To every block yeah |
| And whether it’s warm or storming or downright stupid hot, hot |
| From the problems all the way to the solutions yeah |
| Forget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution no Cause this city is my city |
| And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here |
| I got it made here |
| And if I have my way, I’m gonna stay here |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| Now what if I told you my city was the best |
| And my city was a threat to the rest |
| But you can’t rest inside my city |
| My city’s so cold if you ain’t dressed |
| And what they accept, better had a right address |
| Come to my city, certain colors can’t step |
| And sadly I’m talking about the color of your skin |
| Sorry my brother, I can’t let you in Cause the property value might go down to a level that’s |
| Economically unacceptable and socially taboo for us to live around you |
| Uh, uh, is this what it’s down to? |
| Root for the same team, maybe had the same dream |
| Not the same reality, |
| Actually, mines is a bad education and gentrification |
| Despite all the above I love… |
| This city is my city |
| And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here |
| I got it made here |
| And if I have my way, I’m gonna stay here |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| You can take my picture, |
| You can take my name, |
| But you’re never gonna take my city away |
| Cause you can burn it to the ground |
| Oh or let it flood, but it’s in my blood |
| Cause this city is my city |
| And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here |
| I got it made here |
| And if I have my way, I’m gonna stay here |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life, uh huh |
| For life… |
