Hey, yow! I'm from the city that never sleeps
So you know I stay up
When I rock, leave them in shock
Tell 'em to pick their face up
Down in the… but I remember where I came from
Because it made me who I am
And made step my game up
No longer a stranger, they say I'm appealing
Put my heart in the paper… I reveal it
Can you feel it? They call me the calm before the storm
I know I'm burning it down, when you barely getting warm
I'm inside that, listen to MC when it's spitting
If he represents the elements he's further in the mission
My lady . trivial matter, she's dismissing
But I k** an MC if he ain't paying in this position
I call it tough love without negative intentions
k**ing him in my tongues, I k** him in my four inches
He came with a free style and I k**ed him with a rhythm
…sixteen, then I k**ed him with a sentence
Man, listen! They call you a local anesthetic
You get on with the energy, it's hard than you …
But me, see, they call me magnetic, cause when I'm. forget it!
You try to pull away, you'll regret it
I'm nothing like these other broads, quick to get naked
I'm try to get hot over this record, yeah!
But you never see me bow or bend
Shining ever since the day I found the pen, yeah!
The world, the world, the world is flat
This dynasty never seen
Can, can, can nobody stay close?
I only say things once!
The world, the world, the world is flat
This dynasty never seen
Can, can, can nobody stay close?
I only say things once!
Hey, yow! I'm from the city that never sleeps
So you know I stay up
When I rock, leave them in shock
Tell them to pick their face up
When I rock, leave them shot
Tell 'em to put their face up
Do sleep, cause I rock hills and
'Till I got what … took it out to the street, yeah!
I fall asleep with the pen in my hand
Trying to catch a dream and turn it to …the plans
Fly high, but the minute I land I make history
While you're still lost in the dreams, still a mystery
You're only good for the moment like a quick …
I finally understand why I'm such a big deal
They all spit about talking your man
I'm all that, cause over here taking defense
Understand, I'll be spitting like this, 'till I'm and old wife
Standing in the kitchen washing dishes …lines
Spitting heavy, they ain't ready for the gold mine
I'm just about 25, you can't hold mine
Got bust, cause I was k**ing him in…
Took over the radio. ridiculous . signs
…but get pretty when it's show time
So you know I'll be hitting your city up in no time
Just tell me where to be, I can handle!
Any given audience, I'll hand it over a hand full
I give 'em a sample to see if they can hear me
Shining ever since…
The world, the world, the world is flat
This dynasty never seen
Can, can, can nobody stay close?
I only say things once!
The world, the world, the world is flat
This dynasty never seen
Can, can, can nobody stay close?
I only say things once!
