This City Lyrics

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 it down or
Right stupid hot, hot
From the colors 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 can't
Let you in Cause the property
Value might go down to
A level that's
Economically
Unacceptable and
Socially tabu fast to
Live around you
Uh, uh, is this what it's
Down to?
Roof for the same
Team, nigga 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

And you can take it
Back
Picture, you can take it
Back
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...
