[Intro]
Yeah
Grrah
City talkin'
I listen
[Verse 1]
Born in the smoke
Raised in the sirens
Mom said “leave”
I built an empire
Brown paper bag
Under my bomber
Heart on my sleeve
Blade in my pocket (grrah)
Block full of wolves
Teeth full of powder
Lips taste sin
Eyes see power
I walk that line
Taxi lights blurred
Every small corner
Know my word
[Chorus]
The city of New York is drill, grrah
I’m outside posted still, grrah
Drug, sex, money, that thrill, grrah
I love my city, it’s real, real (uh)
The city of New York is drill, grrah
My heart, my home, my film, grrah
Write my name in the steel, grrah
I love my city, it’s real, real
[Verse 2]
Night shift queen
Keys in the hallway
Hoodie up tight
Dreams in the crawlspace
He say he love me
I trust the numbers
Bedsheet twisted
Cash by the covers
I seen too much
To be scared of thunder
Gun flash, car crash
Concrete hunger
Pray in the trap
Laugh at the danger
Kiss my reflection
Know I’m that stranger (grrah)
[Chorus]
The city of New York is drill, grrah
I’m outside posted still, grrah
Drug, sex, money, that thrill, grrah
I love my city, it’s real, real (yeah)
The city of New York is drill, grrah
My heart, my home, my film, grrah
Write my name in the steel, grrah
I love my city, it’s real, real (grrah, grrah)
