My City - Maino

The street is waiting on that real shit

These hating niggas praying I get killed quick

Guess it ain’t no love where I come from

Fake smiles, fake hugs where I come from

The first one to ride for my city

'Til I noticed that they wasn’t riding with me

Niggas say you got to bring New York back

But my hood is like Chicago, where New York at

How we know our pedigree with no identity

Too many chickens scared to make enemies

So welcome to New York, we the hardest yeah

Where the DJs is bigger than the artists here

Yeah, I think I woke up in a bad mood

Wearing my feeling on my sleeve like a tattoo

Waving the flag for my city then I threw it down

I’m done with it, let another nigga hold it down

Sometimes I feel like fuck my city

Too many bitch niggas from my city

None of these lame niggas run my city

At times I feel like I don’t love my city

Sometimes I feel like fuck my city

At times I feel like I don’t love my city

Damn, I feel the hate when it come to me

They let niggas disrespect us then they stunt on me

I put the city on my back, how they front on me?

I wore that Yankee cap well, ain’t no love for me

Man, the fuck happen to my city dog?

Over two million sold, still a hundred though

What they waiting for, my niggas been ready

Try to uplift the city but these niggas so petty

Damn, I guess I start a new wave

I bet Biggie turning over in his grave

The streets screaming that they waiting for a change

But my hands tied

These pussies trying to lock me out the game

Fuck what we used to be, we not that

And these rappers claiming street but they not that

How I’m supposed to feel, nigga I’m a rider

But my own city showing more love to outsiders

These weak niggas wish I wasn’t here

But just imagine if I wasn’t here

You wouldn’t get this real talk nigga

These pussies want to leave you in the dark nigga

I give you me, I give you all of me

Just know that I’ll be there when you call on me

You won’t get it 'til I’m dead and gone

Probably won’t appreciate me 'til I’m dead and gone
