[Verse 1] I'm up by moody flares, sun lights the windows of the silver projects The town rennaissance, we care about the city Our names posted on walls like graffiti, Indeed, gee... People movin' like ants, don't wanna see me Type shit, ego trip like vertigo heroes City legends ain't really nuthin' but zeroes Ethnicity sportin' zearocks, socks, and D&G'oes City space haze, glamourous bitches on cocaine and base Endless roads, quotes and phrases The town strangulated by posters and glue slides My life is the jive, when I be diggin' the city vibes...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] The city holds me down bumpin' D.N.S. sound So lost, so found, now you might see me around But don't stare or glare, don't pay attention at what I wear Pay attention at my intellect, and try to care Urban vibin', strivin', concrete junglin' keep alivin', survivin' Crazy drivin' Then divin' into the asphalt filled wit chalk, walk ya walk, and watch ya talk, I sport, extort, confidential streetlights keep the secret The velvet underground truth dig it From the beginnin', urbanistically chillin' The rhythms of the suburbs are thrillin' The boom-boom-bip, Fresh Sly stayin' hip Loungin' wit tha beatniks, dreadheads, outfits The borough never sleeps, sober seven twenty fives My living's them jives, when I be diggin' the city vibes
