JAY-Z, Blackstreet - The City Is Mine lyrics
[JAY-Z, Blackstreet - The City Is Mine lyrics]
Uh uhh uh, ge ge-geyeah
You belong to the city (uh uhh uh, what what)
You belong to the night
(uh uhh uh, ge ge geyeah)
In the river of darkness
He's a man of the night
What the deal, playboy? Just rest your soul
I be holding it down yo, still love the dough
Got these ladies on the cock now
You know how we go
Got the whole world on lock down
You know how we flow
Don't worry about Brooklyn
I continue to flame
Therefore a world with amnesia
Won't forget your name
You held it down long enough
Let me take those reigns
And just like your spirit
The Commission remains
Niggas can cross the T's and, dot the I's
Now that I got too popular to cop them pies
I'm taking this rap shit serious
To my demise
Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise
Basics in the basement, wasted
Asking my dog for advice so
When he can't say shit
My hatred is, fueled just give me a sign
And I let the world know
That the city is mine, what?
You belong to the city
(the city is mine, what-what-what)
You belong to the night
(ge ge geyeah, uh uhh uh, pa pau)
In the river of darkness
He's a man of the night
(the city is mine, that's right)
Y'all wanna know how I flow
Just seek and you find
I'm like a brain in the voice box
I speak my mind
About to redefine rap mami, either I'm
The illest nigga doing it or
These niggas is losing it
I read a article that said I was ruining shit
But every time I look
I'm moving unit's in quick
So I'ma hit y'all
With these last two and split
And leave niggas with nothing
But my influences-es
Students of Jigga, I ain't mad yeah
Bite my shit
Sell half of what I sell because
It's not quite my shit
I'm the type to buy a Rollie
And just ice my shit
On the spot, fuck coming back twice to shit
How real is that? My floss game, still intact
Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that
Like the first dude to cop the 850 in '89
And drove it up to 55th, the city is mine
What?
You belong to the city (the city is mine)
You belong to the night
(yeah, uhh, the city is mine)
In the river of darkness (pa pause, feel me)
He's a man of the night
(yeah, yeah, bounce, bounce)
I snatch your girl 'cause your
Arm ain't strong enough
Plus y'all don't stay in
The studio long enough
I make hit's while y'all stay
Hating and take bricks
Had it locked 'til I came in the club, Take 6
Got your chick 'cause you
Swore she was innocent
Got her a Chinese manicure
Hair done by Dominicans, all for what
So I could be in a dark corner
All in her butt
At the bar alchoholing her up
I represent the lifestyle of
Those who thirst cream
A buck fifty a shot, Louis the Thirteenth
Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella yo, know the name
I ain't a player, get it right
I'm controlling the game
From now until they blow holes in my frame
I'ma stand firm, holding my aim, feel me?
I'm the focal, point like Biggie in his prime
On the low though Shhh! The city is mine
You belong to the city
(uh huh, yeah, the city is mine)
You belong to the night
(ah ah, the city is mine)
In the river of darkness
(feel me, the city is mine)
He's the man of the night
(the city is mine, is mine, is mine, is mine)
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night you belong
You belong in the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
You belong to the city (uh uhh uh, what what)
You belong to the night
(uh uhh uh, ge ge geyeah)
In the river of darkness
He's a man of the night
