The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
