The City Is Mine (feat. Blackstreet)

You belong to the city

You belong to the night

In the river of darkness

He's a man of the night

What the deal, playboy? Just rest your soul

I be holding it down, yo, still love the dough

Got these ladies on the cock 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

Therefore, a world with amnesia won't forget your name

You held it down long enough, let me take those reigns

And just like your spirit, the Commission remains

**** can cross the T's and dot the I's

Now that I got too popular to cop them pies

I'm taking this rap shit serious, to my demise

Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise

Basics in the basement, wasted

Asking my dog for advice so when he can't say shit

My hatred is fueled, 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 a man of the night

Y'all wanna know how I flow, just seek and you find

I'm like a brain in the voice box, I speak my mind

About to redefine rap, mami, either I'm

The illest **** doing it, or these **** is losing it

I read a article that said I was ruining shit

But every time I look, I'm moving units in quick

So I'ma hit y'all, with these last two and split

And leave **** with nothing but my influences-es

Students of Jigga, I ain't mad, yeah, bite my shit

Sell half of what I sell because it's not quite my shit

I'm the type to buy a Rollie and just ice my shit

On the spot, fuck coming back twice to 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 a 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 hating and take bricks

Had it locked till I came in the club, Take 6

Got your chick 'cause you 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 her butt

At the bar alchoholing 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 controlling the game

From now until they blow holes in my frame

I'ma stand firm, holding my aim, feel me?

I'm the focal, point like Biggie in his prime

On the low, though, shh, the city is mine

You belong to the city

You belong to the night

In the river of darkness

He's a man of the night

You belong to the city

You belong to the night

In the river of darkness

He's a man of the night

You belong

You belong

In the river of darkness

He's a man of the night
