Patrick Stump - This City (Single Remix) lyrics

[Intro: Lupe Fiasco] Now what if I told you my city was the best And my city was a threat to the rest And my city was a threat to the rest [Refrain: Patrick Stump] This city is my city And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here I got it made here And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay [Verse 1: Patrick Stump] From every corner To every block, yeah Whether it's warm or storming or downright stupid hot, hot From the problems all the way to the solutions yeah Forget all the d** and gangs, corruption and pollution no [Hook: Patrick Stump] Cause this city is my city And I love it, yeah I love it I was born and raised here I got it made here And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here For life, uh huh(x8) [Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] Now what if I told you my city was the best And my city was a threat to the rest But you can't rest inside my city My city's so cold if you ain't dressed And what they accept, better had a right address Come to my city, certain colours can't step And sadly I'm talking about the colour of your skin Sorry my brother can't let you in Cause the property value might go down to a level that's economically unacceptable And socially taboo for us to live around you Is this what it's down to? Root for the same team, maybe have the same dream Not the same reality Actually, mine is a bad education and gentrification Despite all the above I love [Hook] [Bridge: Patrick Stump] You can take my picture You can take my name But you're never gonna take my city away Cause you, you burn it to the ground Oh, you let it flood But it's in my blood [Hook]
