Texty: Drake. City Is Mine.
[Verse 1]
This the record that my backpack underground fans get to get to Skippin'
Back back, Southern town fans get to tippin'
Chasin' fat stacks, runnin' down grands and submission
I don't back track, every single sound for me different
I don't own no ice, just got clean rap
Don't ever two step, I just rock, lean, snap
We could take it out to Houston where the rides all glossed up
Anybody I'm standin' beside's all bossed up
Burgular a miner they say I'm servin' them rhymers
And me and Nickel F. go together like burgers and diners, yes
I'm like a waiter and you something like a hater
With trays in both hands, place an order I can cater uh
I got the diamonds in my teeth flow
Memphis is the reason that my rhyming and my speech slow
Peep though, when I get fed up, it's sped up
Riding through the streets, just reclining in my seat hoe
Uh, them city lights is looking brighter, its 3 a.m. in the morning An' the pen is like a lighter
I'm just a writer flaming pages of a notebook, my Rachel McAdams get At 'em when I ignite her
Yup, soon as a couple plan a trip, you smell gasoline I'm burning All up and down the strip, strip
I done said it, I give you the unleaded, just tip me, if your tank Is empty come get me
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?)
T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E that's me
You know how the story goes
Pull up, Range Rove, yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo
And I make 'em wanna
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college after that
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down
Break it down
[Verse 2]
Break it down like you working for your tuition at Howard
Mama, get it how you live, that thang that you working is power
Tryna be generous, so honey here's a tip
Now-a-days it's gettin' cheaper to put 20's on the whip
So if you a opportunist look for 20's in the clip
And if you find 'em attractive and funny, that's when you dip, dip
And it's a trip, my city broke into sections
Up North I got me a couple of troubles, couple connections
And it's nothing that I created on purpose, there's people that Gotta problem
But they scared to let it surface, uh
Ya boy say this, that, and the third to 'em
See me out and they never utter a word to 'em
Expect me not to draw a card from the deck
Anybody in my city going hard I respect but,
You gotta debt and you choose not to pay that
I'ma hop ya fence, come into your yard and collect, 'lect uh
It ain't a problem of concern bruh, I always end up with exactly What I earn bruh
This ain't last year, money like a cashier, so hand your receipt if You tryna make a return bruh
Yessir, I live in a city where a lot of people don't get shine, shine
And, I be on by the fence as soon as anybody stepping out of line, Line
And I got way too much love, for the city I can never get too much of
And if anybody hatin' on me, I deport 'em, the city is mine boy
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?)
T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E that's me
You know how the story goes
Pull up, Range Rove, yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo
And I make 'em wanna
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, after that
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down
Break it down
