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 Forever we’re coming To every block yeah Whether it’s warm or storming it down or right stupid hot, hot From the colours 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 colours can’t step And sadly I’m talking about the colour of your skin Sign my brother can’t let you in
Cause the property value might go down to a level that’s economically unacceptable
