My City in the literal sense talks about actual cities. It also shows how those cities have had an influence on who the artists are and what about the respective cities they see in themselves; positive and negative.
[Hook]
I've been up a few nights now (late nights)
Couple friends from the way tryna hit me up right now
(Right now)
They the same ones to scream your name when the lights on
Then throw the middle when the lights down (lights down)
But when I give you an audience that's when you choose to pipe down?
Nah (I don't roll like that)
That ain't how we roll in my city (In my city)
You know I put on for my city (for my city)
Ain't no more room in my city, yeah (ayy)
Either you against me or you with me (or you with me)
Either you a ride or die or you walking
You either go and do it or you talking
[Verse 1: Harawa]
Man everybody got opinions these days
Please stay, in your lane
No leeway given to the ignorant living so easy
Bliss is just an escape from reality
You gon' have to face the faces that you showed to me
Atop the ladder, your "friends" always first to take advantage
Ask Marilyn Manson
More lawsuits on him than Robert Kardashian
Day ones got your back
And that's what makes em so dangerous
You ain't know what they gon' do with it
When they through with it
You a walking target for them hollow tips
Laying defenseless as they all taking shots
Meanwhile they all taking shots at your funeral
Interview after interview, asking what went wrong with you
You know how they did Chris Brown
One bad apple can bring the whole tree down
Back to my old self, no trust, no strings attached
Sometimes I can see the city in me
I made it out, never left
Never slept, but I woke up living the dream
My heart back on my sleeve
I don't need to sugar-coat what I believe
I don't need to please a bunch of sheep
That's what the realest state, got a new lease
No filter, guess I'm back to the city, uh

[Verse 2: King Tuzi]
Yeah, I'm from the city that never sleep
Got your girl in my bed and she acting like she don't wanna leave
Tell her "Nah"
That ain't how we do it in my city (in my city)
She could get sued in my city (in my city)
Lemme give you a little tour of my city (hold up)
We got gangsters and killers, all my niggas is villains
They kill for a living, they never forgiving
But still they be Christians
I got no feelings, for none of these bitches
The trap phone is ringing
It's prolly the plug, bitch I want no hug
I just wanna fuck and then bust a nut
And then smoke a blunt
Cause that's how we roll in my city, yeah, yeah
(That's how we roll)
Nothing personal but you don't get involved in my city, yeah yeah (Nah)
Ay, you girl being touchy
Ay, we sipping the muddy
Ay, we praising the money
Ay, my city it love me
Ay, King Tuzi, yeah my life is a movie
And your girl is my groupie
Swear she bad and boujee
[Outro: Harawa]
Bad and boujee
Sweet nothings passing through me
My name always in your mouth
But every time I come around you ain't saying nun' to me
That ain't how we roll in my city (in my city)
You can't hold your own in my city (in my city)
You can't walk alone in my city
Nah
