Patrick Stump - This City lyrics

rate me

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

From every corner, to every block yeah

Weather it’s warm or storming down right stupid hot, hot

From my problems all the way to the solutions yeah

Forget all the drugs and gangs corruption

And pollution, no oh

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 aha, for life aha, for life aha,

For life aha, for life aha, for life aha,

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 so cold if you ain’t dressed

And what they accept but have a right address

Parts of my city certain colors can’t accept

And sadly I’m talking about the color of your skin

Sorry my brother can’t let you in

Cause a couple T value

Might go down to a level that's economically unacceptable

And socially taboo for us to live around you, ha, ha

Is this what it’s down to?

Roof for the same team

n*gger had the same dream

Not the same reality,

Actually, mine is a bad education and gentrification

…despite all the above I love...

..This city (ohh)

Is my city(ohh)

and I love it, love it

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 aha, for life aha, for life aha,

For life aha, for life aha, for life aha,

And you can take my picture, you can take my name

But you never gonna take my city away

Cause you, you burn it to the ground

or oh yeah you 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 her

For life aha, for life aha, for life aha,

For life aha, for life aha, for life aha.<br />
