I reside where the lights scrape the sky
You can't miss it dazzling in the distance
I get down where the towers greet the clouds
And below me a thousand feet of stories
Opulence and violence
Consequence and sirens
Kingdom where the meek pay their tributes of the tyrants
Jewel of innovation
Built from desolation
Harboring both the pride and the shame of the nation
Living in the old
City young
City bold
City gold
City grime
City rich
City poor
City roar
City rise
City girls
City boys
City ploys
City life
City soar
City sights
City skyline
Your city my
City our
City power
City lights
City lungs
City buzzed
City love
City nights
City strong
City weak
City free
City wild
City streets
City beats
City life time
Land of gods and of beasts and of men
What a mystery, beings coexisting
Lay my head by the dying the dead
And the thriving all our worlds colliding
Sacrifice and tithing
Chakras aligning
Cut from different clothes but the walls serve as binding
Peace and segregation
Blessed deprivation
Bending more of the rules with each new generation
Look what we've become
City run
City walk
City talk
City rhyme
City daze
City craze
City scapes
City style
City muse
City hues
City views
City vibes
City lows
City highs
City life lines
Shine city shine
City glow
City grow
City thrive
City roam
City home
City song
City skies
City strife
City vice
City ice
City fire
City crowns
City sounds
City live wires
Fresh city spunk
City funk
City junk
City gems
City dope
City folk
City fiends
City friends
City hopes
City goals
City dreams
City fears
City now
City then
City Empire
