[Verse 1: Maino] The street is waiting on that real sh** These hating n***as praying I get k**ed quick Guess it ain't no love where I come from Fake smiles, fake hugs where I come from The first one to ride for my city 'Til I noticed that they wasn't riding with me n***as say you got to bring New York back But my hood is like Chicago, where New York at How we know our pedigree with no identity Too many chickens scared to make enemies So welcome to New York, we the hardest yeah Where the DJs is bigger than the artists here Yeah, I think I woke up in a bad mood Wearing my feeling on my sleeve like a tattoo Waving the flag for my city then I threw it down I'm done with it, let another n***a hold it down [Hook] Sometimes I feel like f** my city Too many b**h n***as from my city None of these lame n***as run my city At times I feel like I don't love my city Sometimes I feel like f** my city At times I feel like I don't love my city [Verse 2] Damn, I feel the hate when it come to me They let n***as disrespect us then they stunt on me I put the city on my back, how they front on me? I wore that Yankee cap well, ain't no love for me Man, the f** happen to my city dog? Over two million sold, still a hundred though What they waiting for, my n***as been ready Try to uplift the city but these n***as so petty Damn, I guess I start a new wave I bet Biggie turning over in his grave The streets screaming that they waiting for a change But my hands tied These pussies trying to lock me out the game f** what we used to be, we not that And these rappers claiming street but they not that How I'm supposed to feel, n***a I'm a rider But my own city showing more love to outsiders [Hook] [Verse 3] These weak n***as wish I wasn't here But just imagine if I wasn't here You wouldn't get this real talk n***a These pussies want to leave you in the dark n***a I give you me, I give you all of me Just know that I'll be there when you call on me You won't get it 'til I'm dead and gone Probably won't appreciate me 'til I'm dead and gone [Hook]
