Maino - My City Lyrics

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
