Gotham City livin'
The illest n***as be k**in'
The little n***as be dealin'
The realest n***as be feelin' this
Flow
Artists on the train stay promoting shows
Cla**y hoes in overcoats
Bros tryna score some blow
Sellin' candy for a cause, people hardly buy it though
I'm from a place where emcees used to flow for bones
Rappers these days are phony G's full of estrogen
While you slackin', I put in work like a Mexican
And strive to receive this recognition that I'm next to get
I'm the sh**, motherf**er, so expect a scent
This ancient city molded me into a titan
That'll smack any n***a comin' at me with impoliteness
Steel serpents take travelers to destinations
And little ghouls play with dead things for recreation
No mistaking, this place is a nest for damnation
But I could never leave this beautiful abomination
Project halls harbor souls that are trapped in stasis
While the devils look down at us from their corporations
Gotham City; Wu-Tang bumpin' in the blood stream
While I'm writing bars, tryna rectify a pipedream
Rest a**ured, challenging the kid is risky
You couldn't see me like Stalin's upper lip, G
Yeah. While ya'll stressin', I'm flexin'
‘Cause Gotham taught me to be happy
But expect the worst ending
