“Run The City” is a gritty, raw track that is complemented by Omar Kadir & Mozzy giving a rundown on properly navigating through the streets.
[Chorus: Omar Kadir]
First I ran off with the plug bitch
Then I met the plug and got dumb rich
I used to run the city now I run shit
I used to run the city now I run shit
Now they see the foreign and they run quick
Shorty just my style she look sun-kissed
Wali out the window with a drumkit
Wali that's my brother on some dumb shit
[Verse 1: Omar Kadir]
Pull up in space ships
Get crossfaded
Time is wasted you only love me when I’m intoxicated
Yea I got real brothers that beat the cases
Others failed they doing life
They got no choice but to face it
Felony roles can't find a 9-5
So they jobs, slanging these bones
The only way to make it
How I even dealt with the shit I felt
Dont ask me the story
It's way too complicated
Ladders and umbrellas
Don’t get the family fed up
Send a Tori Brixx to set up
We ballin' ain't no bluff to call yo it's all in for me
[Chorus: Omar Kadir]
First I ran off with the plug bitch
Then I met the plug and got dumb rich
I used to run the city now I run shit
I used to run the city now I run shit
Now they see the foreign and they run quick
Shorty just my style she look sun-kissed
Wali out the window with a drumkit
Wali that's my brother on some dumb shit
[Verse 2: Mozzy]
I just fucked your bitch with all my clothing on
And I fucked without a condom bitch you know you wrong
Truth will knock you out I got 100 on em
That nigga truth will knock you out I got 100 on em
It be them big body shells inside the desert eag
I think of deezy daily yelling bang in peace
This rap shit is way too easy watch a gangsta eat
This rap shit is way too easy watch a gangsta eat
My little jump on fleek splash him when he reach
Them field trips is mandatory you can ask the streets
You took the stand on that man when you ain't have to speak
You asking for my opinion you a rat to me
I'm in that all black apparel like its fashion week
That nigga snub crash niggas he ain't crashin’ me
The porkchop gotta switch it flip it rapidly
Passenger seat I was blappin’ his ass accurately
[Chorus: Omar Kadir]
First I ran off with the plug bitch
Then I met the plug and got dumb rich
I used to run the city now I run shit
I used to run the city now I run shit
Now they see the foreign and they run quick
Shorty just my style she look sun-kissed
Wali out the window with a drumkit
Wali that's my brother on some dumb shit
Run The City was written by Mozzy & Omar Kadir.
Run The City was produced by Gekko.
Omar Kadir released Run The City on Fri Mar 22 2019.
Mozzy is one of my favorite artists and our teams are really tight. So we sent some records over and Mozzy liked what we had put together, so he came up with the idea to put together an EP.
The inspiration for “Run The City” was this chick that caught my eye in the club, and I didn’t know she had a man at the time. She ended up being the plug’s girl, I channeled that situation into “Run The City.”
Gekko is a producer I work with a lot, and he flew in from NYC. We went over to The Coffee Bean near my crib and he cooked the beat up in like 30 minutes, then we went straight to the studio laying the hook and my verse then sent it over to Mozzy. The rest is history!
In an interview with Billboard, Kadir said:
One of my close friends told me that Mozzy was ready to collab on a project together. 10 seconds into listening, I knew it was the one to send over to Mozzy. After we both did our parts, I completely fell in love with the record and knew we had to run wit...
