Song Lyrics

This our city
Yeah, forward

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

Yaga from the city of heat makers
We born cold so imagine what the heat make us
From a city where it's forbidden to breed fakers
Nash on your team still yelling, "beat Lakers"
The realest people never get their story told
I'm ghost writin' the industry nigga, money old
You ain't made enough if you see your money fold
What's in my wallet is never less than my area code
I only beef with the butcher who's handlin' orders
The only secrets that I have is with customs and borders
Threw out my True Religion's, looking for my true religion
God over everything, reporting from Hell's Kitchen

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

Yahga, I'm from the city of broken dreams
So we get it, eyes on open from the age of teens
Hard to imagine where I'm from has a million fiends
The dynamic of cities breathing a hundred kings (word)
The true measure of this man is not measured in metric
Assets or who I had sex with
I'm six foot four, with no interest in free throws
Welcome to my city
They still blastin' the peephole
My city alive better than that international
Well let me tell you it's bigger than rap
This for the kids from the ghetto
Who never settle in order, we will take the earth, hello
I'm tryin' to be better fellow, pedal to the metal
I'm a rebel living on a higher level
Like trouble, this trouble
And I do it for the struggle, never buckle
Tryin' to make my money double 'fore I make it
Out the huddle, break

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

Y'all, the media say
When a thing is going wrong, this can't be our city
This our city three-sixty-five
Ya'll just don't talk about it, I do
From Jane strip to Crenshaw, it's one love
From T-Dot to Nigeria, we the same blood
Anywhere on the planet you look like me
They may pat ya down and ask you to produce ID
Without the criminals we wouldn't really need police
So it's understandable why we do not get no peace
No every cop ain't a threat and every brother ain't dealing
Yo every rapper ain't lying but most will say what's appealing
I got a stick to a code, honor people who died
Every soldier who fought to Malcolm in civil rights
If every day is my Christmas and every night is like eve
Then every day I'ma celebrate, yo it's good to be me

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

I'm black 'til I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work, I'm fly 'til I die
Getting paper ride or die, I'm puttin' in work
I'm steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)
Steady, steady reppin' for my city, yeah yeah (reppin' for my city)

Big up my city
We don't move like ya'll
We don't dress like ya'll
We don't flex like ya'll, ya mean?
One love
