This City Feat Lupe Fiasco - Patrick Stump
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 Whether it's warm or stormin' or down right stupid hot, hot From the problems all the way to the solutions, yeah Forget all the drugs and gang corruption and pollution, no 'Cause this city is my city (oh) 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? That my city was a threat to the rest? But you can't rest inside my city My city so cold if you ain't dressed And what they accept, better have the right address Parts of my city, certain colors can't step And sadly, I'm talkin' bout 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 taboo for us to live around you Is this what it's down to? Root for the same team, maybe have the same dream Not the same reality Actually, mine 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, you burn it to the ground Oh, you 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
