- This City (feat. Lupe Fiasco)

 

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, best
And my city was a threat to the rest, (yes)
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
Sorry my brother can't let you in

Cause the property value might go down to a level that's economically unacceptable
And socially have to first live around you, ha, ha
Is this what it's down to?
Two rules for the same team
Maybe had the same dream
Not the same reality
Actually, mine is a bad education and gin trafication
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 never gonna take my city away
Cause you are burning to the crowd, oh oh
Let it fire 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
