[Intro]
Working in the crib I've been going through it
Running with my n***as like I'm Martin Luther
n***as pushing bu*tons like they run casinos
Riding in the city like I'm Al Pacino
When she's at the party yeah she claims she's single
Out of all these b**hes how the f** would we know
Pa** it to my n***a like I'm Dan Marino
Coming to the city f**ing with the Nino
[Hook]
n***a imma have to go and get it
n***a I've been grinding for a minute
n***a imma do it for the city
n***a had to do it for the city okay
Balling like I'm in the 9th inning
n***a I've been grinding for a minute
n***a imma do it for the city
n***a had to do it for the city okay
[Verse 1]
Lacing Nike checks keep it fresh when you running
I got way too many problems you fronting on hundreds
Way too monumental to sweat the credentials
If you ain't getting money the f** is an issue
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
On a rope
Grab the dope
n***a turn the key
In the kitchen
Never missing
When a n***a whip it
Imma get it
Want a feature come and take a ticket
f** a critic
Crunching numbers turn into a digit
Never know it
You'll never notice b**h
Yeah you'll never know it
I've been on it for a minute
You can keep the pennies
I'm the greatest like I'm playing for the f**ing Bulls
I've been on it n***a hungry feed him to the wolves
I've been on it
I was working while you flexing n***a
Had to apply the pressure n***a
Who you think you testing n***a
Man your sh** is not impressive n***a
Speaking words we only know the meeting
n***as got me balling Derek Jeter
City getting lit we getting colder
Had to put the city on my shoulders
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Let me tell the kids a story about the man
Before he had a plan
Way before he even had a fan
Way before the hoes and the cops
Before he had an opt
Before my n***as started hugging blocks
Been a rap genius way before the check
Before he had a check
Chasing dreams put me into debt
Way before they even had faith
And now they show grace
And everybody all up in his face
