This City
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
From every corner to every block, yeah
And whether it's warm or storming or down right stupid hot, hot
From the problems, all the way to the solutions, yeah
Forget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution, no
'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 (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
From every high rise, down to every slum
From every unethical politician to the wise old beat-up bum, oh
Oh, my city and I, our hearts beat, beat, beat together
When I'm home, we both breathe, breathe, breathe together
This place is my home, wherever I go
I, I, I, I, I take it with me
This city is my city
And I love it, I love it, 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 (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life (ah, ah)
For life
And you can take my picture
You can take my name
But you're never gonna take my city away
'Cause you could burn it to the ground
Oh, or let it flood, but it's in my blood
'Cause this city (this city) is my city (is my city)
And I love it (my city), I love it, I love it, yeah
I was born and raised here
I got it made here
And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here
For life (for life)
For life (uh huh)
For life (yeah)
For life (uh huh)
For life (yeah, for life)
For life (for life, for life)
For life (for life, for life)
For life (for life)
For life
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
From every corner to every block, yeah
And whether it's warm or storming or down right stupid hot, hot
From the problems, all the way to the solutions, yeah
Forget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution, no
'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 (ah, ah)
