My City
Lyrics
Look, shit
I'm like the Jay or the Drake of my city
Fuck what they say, they won't say that shit to me
I'm in downtown, all my brothers is with me
Shout out my boys from the 70
Shout out my boys from the 60, they know what's in me
Shout out my boys from the 17, they really know how I was livin'
Oh, what a feelin'
I walk through the city, they treat me like God
We were six deep in that five-seater car
I heard that they got a problem with me
Told 'em, "Come to my face," but they fakin', they fraud
Drive through the hood in Lamborghini cars
I might just give a hunnid to my dawgs (my dawgs)
Like thank you for holdin' it down (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'm sorry if you ever felt like there was love lost (yeah, yeah)
Now they blamin' ONEFOUR for all of the drillings (true)
They blamin' us for what happens in Sydney (why?)
They blamin' us for what happens in Melbourne (okay)
They blamin' us for what happens in Brissy (true)
Tell me who's with me?
'Cause I ain't kiddin', this shit's been happenin' since back in the day (now listen)
No one said nothin' when shh, got knocked
But now everybody's got somethin' to say
Get the fuck out my face (pussy)
I ain't tryna lead these youngins astray
But pussyhole stay in your place (stay there)
If you got a problem, then come out and play
I'm makin' my paper, I stayed in my lane
They thought I would change for the money and fame
Everythin' that I'm doin', I do it for the gang
We already told you, this shit ain't a game
Now stop playin', everyone knows that
I'm like the Jay or the Drake of my city
Fuck what they say, they won't say that shit to me
I'm in downtown, all my brothers is with me
Shout out my boys from the 70
Shout out my boys from the 60, they know what's in me
Shout out my boys from the 17, they really know how I was livin'
Oh, what a feelin'
I've got too much (too much), on my plate to be puttin' up with all the politics (uh)
For the critics, I don't have the tolerance
And for the pussy boys suckin' and swallowin' (pussy, boys)
Yeah, they hate when I'm speakin' the truth, but they gotta acknowledge it (facts)
Yeah, they quick to point fingers
But someone please tell me, where did they all get their confidence? (But where?)
I ain't gotta take this shit no more
First class and I'm on that plane (ooh, ooh)
Put Aus' on the map and they all complain (why?)
Tellin' the truth and they still complain (ah)
Now they shootin' clips 'cause they all want fame
But out on the strip, they ain't got no name
I don't give a fuck, I'ma cop that blame
I was raised on the street, I'ma stay this way (yeah, yeah)
'Cause the things I say, I'ma take to the grave (yeah)
Now listen
I'm like the Jay or the Drake of my city
Fuck what they say, they won't say that shit to me
I'm in downtown, all my brothers is with me
Shout out my boys from the 70
Shout out my boys from the 60, they know what's in me
Shout out my boys from the 17, they really know how I was livin'
Oh, what a feelin'
I walk through the city, they treat me like God
We were six deep in that five-seater car
I heard that they got a problem with me
Told 'em, "Come to my face," but they fakin', they fraud
Drive through the hood in Lamborghini cars
I might just give a hunnid to my dawgs
Like thank you for holdin' it down
And I'm sorry if you ever felt like there was love lost
