Testo The City Is Mine - Album Version - JAY-Z feat. Blackstreet
Testo della canzone The City Is Mine - Album Version (JAY-Z feat. Blackstreet), tratta dall'album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
Yeah, what the deal playboy, just rest your soul
I be holdin' it down yo, still love the dough
Got these ladies on the coochie now you know how we go
Got the whole world on lock down you know how we flow
Don't worry about Brooklyn I continue to flame
Before a world we're enemies you won't forget your name
You held it down long enough, let me take those reins
And just like the spiritual, Commission remains
Cross the T's and dot the I's
Now that I got too popular to cop them pies
I'm takin' this rap shit serious 'til my demise
Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise
Basics in the basement, wasted
Askin' my dog for advice and when he can't say shit
My hatred is for you just give me a sign
And I let the world know that the city is mine, what!
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
Y'all wanna know how I flow, just seek and you'll find
I'm like a brain in the voice box, I speak my mind
I'm 'bout to redefine rap mami, either I'm
The illest nigga doin' it or these niggas is losin' it
I read a article it said I was ruinin' shit
But every time I look, I'm movin' units in quick
So I'ma hit y'all with these last two and split
And leave niggas with nothin' but my influences-es
Soon as the jigga, I ain't mad, yeah, bite my shit
Sell half of what I sell 'cause it's not quite my shit
I'm the type to buy a Rollie and just ice my shit
On the spot, fuck comin' back twice and shit
How real is that, my floss game still intact
Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that
Like the first dude to cop the 850 in '89
And drove it up to 55th, the city is mine, what!
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
I snatch your girl 'cause your arm ain't strong enough
Plus y'all don't stay in the studio long enough
I make hits while y'all stay hatin' and take bricks
Had it locked 'til I came in the club, take six
Knapped a chick 'cause she swore she was innocent
Got her a Chinese manicure, hair done by Dominicans
All for what? So I could be in a dark corner
All in the bud at the bar, alcoholin' her up
I represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream
Buck fifty a shot, Louis the Thirteenth
Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella yo, know the name
I ain't a player, get it right, I'm controllin' the game
From now until they blow holes in my frame
I'ma stand firm holdin' my aim, feel me?
I'm the focal point like Biggie in his prime
On the low though, the city is mine
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
You belong
You belong
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
