In the City

I'm in the city with gorillas
I'm in the city with hyenas
My girls be hopping kangaroos
I turned my city to a zoo

I'm on the grizzy and it's all day
I rep my city and I don't play
This why we do it for the streets
We got the fire, got the heat

I'm an African G on a 100 percent
Send a couple of bars and I bought me a Benz
I ain't even be paying no rent, nah
I wake up and I feel so blessed
Thank God that my life switched
Ain't gotta work nightshift
I stay strapped, I'ma shoot the bar
My nigga ain't talk about the ISIS
Back to back with that fly shit
Awon temi gon' like this
We go shoppin' on Westfield
And nah, we don't need to check prices, nah

They say I'm brighter than the chandelier
'Cause I look like a star from a mile away
And if they asking why you arrogant
Mama you just tell them 'cause you fucking with an African

I'm in the city with gorillas
I'm in the city hyenas
My girls be hopping kangaroos
I turned my city to a zoo

I'm on the grizzy and it's all day
I rep my city and I don't play
This why we do it for the streets
We got the fire, got the heat

I'd be rep the 254, what you know about the place?
Coming through with too tight flows
Last time I almost caught a case
Nigga what you know about the A
You think you got what it takes?
You think you got the power
To hold your ground in the planet of the apes

Background, don't you get off your seats
Double up, triple up, yeah we 'bout to head up the streets
Ice just hit up the beast, tell me Khali where you at
Come through, come pick up the beats
Nigga what's thirsty, hiccups galore
I don't wanna touch the sky, I wanna pick up the floor
When I feel I had to get up and move facts from fights to fights
A nigga had to get up some more

Finally made it to 28, now I'm picking it up where 'Pac left it
They don't wanna see a nigga get paid, get cheddar
You wanna see a nigga get reckless, nah nigga
Not me, I'm an idol and my brain is my bible
So I drop a hard verse then we do biz wannabe, ain't this done suicidal
I'm so sophisticated, yeah sophisticated

Funny what the people do nowadays on IG
Just to get the pictures rated
Even if it means going on naked
It doesn't matter if they really gotta fake it
You know how the game goes out here for the money and the fame
Everybody tryna make it

But me I'm a go-getter and I know better
Getting more cheddar 'cause I'm so clever
But I'm so feather but these broke fellas
Who be so jealous 'cause they no sellers
So dressed in a cold weather
Rocking old sweater in an old setup
Told mum she don't gotta worry
'Cause I grind for her and it's forever

I get em' all black, I'm too black
All eyes on me yeah
Everywhere nice sauce
Spice it up, let's get saucy yeah

I'ma get it diamond life
And I put it on my life
Gotta feel it deep inside

This Rolex never get less, wanu iya now thermocool jo
Graces working for me
But it doesn't need no salary, no no
Good foundation, build like a mason
But I won't sell my soul though
Everytime I show up, men it's the show-

I'm in the city with gorillas
Kofi Jamar, Ice, Khaligraph Jones
234, 254, 233 we outchea
