1
[Chorus]
2
You belong to the city
3
You belong to the night
4
In the river of darkness
5
He's a man of the night
6
Yeah,
7
What the deal playboy, just rest your soul
8
I be holding it down yo still love the dough
9
Got these ladies on the cock now you know how we go
10
Got the whole world on lock down you know how we flow
11
Don't worry about Brooklyn I continue to flame
12
Therefore a world with amnesia won't forget your name
13
You held it down long enough, let me take those reigns
14
And just like your spirit the commission remains
15
Niggas can cross the T's and, dots the I's
16
Now that I got too popular to cop them pies
17
I'm taking this rap shit serious, to my demise
18
Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise
19
Basics in the basement, waste it
20
Asking my dog for advice so when he can't say shit
21
My hatred is, fueled just give me a sign
22
And I let the world know that the city is mine, what?
23
[Chorus]
24
Y'all want to know how I flow just seek and you find
25
I'm like a brain in the voice box, I speak my mind
26
About to redefine rap mami, either I'm
27
The illest nigga doing it or these niggas is losing it
28
I read a article that said I was ruining shit
29
But every time I look, I'm moving units in quick
30
So I'ma hit y'all, with these last two and split
31
And leave niggas with nothing but my influences-es
32
Soon it's the Jigga, I ain't mad yeah, bite my shit
33
Sell half of what I sell because it's not quite my shit
34
I'm the type to buy a Roley and just ice my shit
35
On the spot, fuck coming back twice to shit
36
How real is that? My floss game, still intact
37
Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that
38
Like the first dude to cop the 850 and 89
39
And drove it up to 55th, the city is mine, what?
40
[Chorus]
41
I snatch your girl cause your arm ain't strong enough
42
Plus ya don't stay in the studio long enough
43
I make hits while y'all stay hating and take bricks
44
Had it locked til I came in the club, Take 6
45
Got your chick cause you swore she was innocent
46
Got her a Chinese manicure hair done by Dominicans, all for what
47
So I could be in a dark corner, all in the butt
48
At the bar alcholing her up
49
I represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream
50
A buck fifty a shot, Louis the Thirteenth
51
Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella yo, know the name
52
I ain't a player get it right, I'm controlling the game
53
From now until they blow holes in my frame
54
I'ma stand firm, holding my aim, feel me?
55
I'm the focal, point like Biggie in his prime
56
On the low though, the city is mine!
57
[Chorus]
JAY-Z - Empire State Of Mind ft. Alicia ...
