Frank Ocean - The City lyrics

[Intro] Give me my power Give me my power Give me my power Give me my power I built this city [Verse 1] I got plenty concrete, plenty steel Please give me my trees, give 'em back Give me tourists, give me traffic Give me noise, just give it back Could you bring back all my police, give me order Turn back on my lights, give me fuel and water I think I'm begging, cause now that everything's gone I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine With the streets all dark, it looks like my buildings are gone [Hook] I made you the mayor of my town honey And I'm why you are the senate representative I gave you the key to my city Gave you, power over, power over me Give it to me Give it back to me The city belongs to me The city is ours no more [Verse 2] Tell the government, please give me funding Can't you see that I'm doing bad? Give me floodgates, give me levees Too much water can you push it back How you just gon' leave me out of order I ain't got no lights and no fuel to start up I know I'm begging, cause now that everything's dried up I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine And with the streets all dark, the buildings look lost [Hook] I made you the mayor of my town honey I'm why you are the senate representative I gave you the key to my city, all power over, power over me Give it to me, give it back to me The city belongs to me The city is ours no more [Bridge] We used to be sky high We used to be major We used to be sky high We used to be major, baby, major [Outro] Give it to me, give it back to me The city mine, baby This whole city is mine The city is mine, honey Give it to me, give it back to me The city is mine, oh baby The city is mine The city is mine Now give it to me Give it back to me The city belongs to me The city is ours no more
