City of Philly

Lend me ya ears
City of Philly just lend me ya ears
Lend me ya ears
City of Philly just lend me ya ears

2745 North 20th
The home of the hungriest
The heart of the hood
Wanna get up & leave but my hearts in the hood
The heart's in me good
Cant explain why I do bad
Was on that corner
Black dickies & my du-rag
Looking for some new fiends
Cuz I was broke and a nigga need new jeans
New shirts new sneaks
Pocket full of bread
Incase I ran into a few freaks
Just a young nigga lost in his grind
Saw my niggaget bodied
Almost lost my mind
What the hell am I to do
Shit was giving me hell
Who to turn to
With role models sitting in jail
Plus, I couldnt run to the family
The man in me
Told me leave the streets they set aside plans for me
Time to get on my job & set plans for me
Before I'm left laid flat like a canopy

City of Philly
Lend me ya ears
I got some shit that I want you to hear
Come & talk with me
Lace ya boots up
Come & walk with me
Roll ya blunts up
Come & spark with me
City of Philly
I hope that you're listening good
Close ya eyes & envision the hood
So come & roll with a nigga
Real rap its no joking my nigga, Yeah

Man them days I was broke was the hardest times
Nevertheless I'm puttin in the hardest grind
Niggas throwing me shade
Its so hard to shine
But a nigga like me is so hard to find
Ima roller
Something like a soldier
I already told ya
I'm in this till its over
Blowing on the douja
High as the planes
Ride with my gang
Down dor whatever
Pounds & berettas
Lay a nigga down for that chedda
Know these streets cold
So I roam the town with a sweater
Its crazy but it is what it seems to be
Here, to make it out was just a dream to me
I realized that niggas aint the breed as me
Then was told dont follow niggas lead ya team
So I'ma bring them to the top
And give them what I got
And be that top nigga
Till my clock stops ticking

City of Philly
Lend me ya ears
I got some shit that I want you to hear
Come & talk with me
Lace ya boots up
Come & walk with me
Roll ya blunts up
Come & spark with me
City of Philly
I hope that you're listening good
Close ya eyes & envision the hood
So come & roll with a nigga
Real rap its no joking my nigga, Yeah
