Wanna yap about my city Ask me where I say I only do my duty Cos when I wake up The world just the same Time for a n***a to make a name Life is so tough Dough don't come enough Learnt to cry and cry And still smile Take the pain in my stride And be the MAN Forgive my for my foolishness My gramma ain't correct Yet give me a space to say what i want said Or better still what you gonna get heard Neet weet can you make it stand on the street It ain't easy Sometimes my efforts turn to piss My prayer is punishment For when i do evil And i hear a voice Sure God will listen to ya So i say it the way it is The city and my disease The city The city The city The city Said I am waiting for improvements From the next President But I feel impotent Around my residence Seen my dreams turn to cream Now sour in the sun Now i am feeling dumb When I thought I'd be a don Think of my woman And the the angels around us Saying don't do nothing You must listen Jesus crying Dont forget him No matter how bad things get Keep prayin And my prayer is on the street My eyes wide open My heart blind and dead With no feeling Get a pulse from my girl Letting me feel her leg This city Where i am alive and dead The city The city The city The city
