N.A.S.A., Ghostface Killah, DJ AM, Scarface, The Cool Kids - The Mayor lyrics

I'm eating my scrambled eggs this morning
And then I think about it
I'm the mayor of the city
Yo where you all at man?

Yo it's Staten Island, New York
The forgotten borough
Home of the wallaby champ, we stay thorough
Since the days of snatchin' Lee patches
Stitching my name in my Kangols
So my outfit matches
So we mashed out Wave Street
Partied on Broad
Enter the 36 Chambers and swung swords
Bug when the Force MD's met the Fat Boys
Brought the ruckus like PE brought the noise
Slept on the ferry boat coming from LQ
The Purple Rain in the air
Had me stuck like glue
We would dry out Macy's
Buy 8 G's worth of Polo


See the dreaded one-sixty copping
Ounces for dolo stuffing 40's in brown bags
Dippin' from blue coats
Flickin' it up with new ropes
Staying new ghost
Stapleton the park yeah we stay stylin'
Staten Island A k a Shaolin'

In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round
In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round

I'm from that 33rd, H town rider
Rep my city, my neighborhood Southsider
Out here we hustle till we touch it
It's all about a come up
If ain't no money in it we don't fuck with it
Gangsta Gangsta
Now what the fuck are they yelling?
Late night hanging drug selling
This here the city of the astronauts
High as hell in the 550 smashing out like
"vroom" i'm on my way to the room
With a white girl looking like Vidal Sassoon
All up in the bathroom digging the guts out
Five in the morning I'm boning the fuck out
The H-O-U-S t-O-N, damn
It's like a million different cities in one
So everybody out here reppin'
Getting them some
We got drink, dro, dope, hoes
Niggas pulling up in ciallargo
Think fast, talk slow millionaires out here
And you won't even know the H

In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round
In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round

I can't stop, won't stop unless I got a flat
The flat head screwdriver reminding me that
That if I'm holding the right tools
To screw in the joints
I'm good with both hands I
Must be from Detroit
The Motor Capital, the Capital D
The fourth letter of the alphabet
It's on in a Tigers' fitee
Bail out in the Olds' Cutlass Supreme
Where we iron blue collars
And crease the jeans
Either in Mount Clemens, Six Mile
Grand River seven Mile Greenfield
Right corner of the mitten
The home of the Red Wings, Lions
And the Pistons
First gate is for Chevrolet Detroit Michigan

Saying what up yo
What up Joe? That's what I'm Saying
I don't think they understand
Outside the city limit's
So give me a minute to unbutton my coat
And give a cheers to the man
With his ears to the fan
Cause he hear all that cold shit
Blowin' in ghost shit
Go again lake front, 92 Grand Prix
Red with the gold rims, number 8 Jordans
Here we on Maxwell Street for the Polish shit
Grilled onions and no mustard
Everybody from the go already know the biz
Chuck's from Detroit, Mike's from the Chi
So, it's Bulls, Tigers, Lions, and Bears
Oh my

In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round
In my city I'm the mayor
But, I got a key to the city everywhere
I'm like the home team QB when I touchdown
Roll out the red carpet when I come round

"Aw yeah" "City to city"
"On the road" "Claiming my city"
"We represent" "This city"
"As we explore around the country
And around the world in fact"
"Let us go to the new worlds together
Not as new worlds to be conquered but
As a new adventure to be shared"
