Wanna yap about my city
Ask me where
I say I only do my duty
Cos when I wake up
The world just the same
Time for a n***a to make a name
Life is so tough
Dough don't come enough
Learnt to cry and cry
And still smile
Take the pain in my stride
And be the MAN
Forgive my for my foolishness
My gramma ain't correct
Yet give me a space to say what i want said
Or better still what you gonna get heard
Neet weet can you make it stand on the street
It ain't easy
Sometimes my efforts turn to piss
My prayer is punishment
For when i do evil
And i hear a voice
Sure God will listen to ya
So i say it the way it is
The city and my disease
The city
The city
The city
The city
Said I am waiting for improvements
From the next President
But I feel impotent
Around my residence
Seen my dreams turn to cream
Now sour in the sun
Now i am feeling dumb
When I thought I'd be a don
Think of my woman
And the the angels around us
Saying don't do nothing
You must listen
Jesus crying
Dont forget him
No matter how bad things get
Keep prayin
And my prayer is on the street
My eyes wide open
My heart blind and dead
With no feeling
Get a pulse from my girl
Letting me feel her leg
This city
Where i am alive and dead
The city
The city
The city
The city
