A Letter to Philadelphia ft. RexRiot Lyrics

Acting erratic or sporadic

And catch this static

Charismatic but you hate me

Cause you live to be dramatic

I spit it cinematic cause

I grew up on illmatic

Cut from ill fabric

Texture idiosyncratic

Your music got no buzz

We call that a light year

I'm going to run this whole game

Let me make that shit quite clear

You can live and die a no

Body but I’d rather fight fear

Laura kiss girls don’t let them

Bi knock you Laur like a sight seer

Love a hoe that’s

Down to kiss a hoe

I can’t lie I feel the

Distance though

Your past is something

I don’t need to know

Niggas who stress

That are insecure

Girl you the only thing

Keeping me in this city

If I leave and never come back

I hope you can forgive me

On some shit I gave this place my

Love my time and my vocals

I’ll Be damned if I’m local y’all

Know I deserve to be the focal

I don’t know why I’m still here

And I can’t leave without you

Philadelphia raised me but

I need something new

Girl I got dreams out in LA and

I need them to come true

I ain’t gonna leave you

Behind so baby girl come too

One time for the

Niggas slick hating

Two times for the

People at my shows

Three times for hoes

I’m no longer dating

Four times for the

Niggas acting slow

I know y’all well aware of

The art I’m creating

But faking like y’all uninformed

Of everything that I’m making

Mistaken as somebody that’s here

To put this city on the map

But why have love for something

That never shows that it loves you back

Jenny showed me more love than

This city and she from Africa

Don’t need none after you cause she

Got more curves than parabolas

She noticed I was more poetic

Than the average rapper was

But Philly don’t this shit not

Adding up check the algebra

Date queens out the country

You date hoes in your county

Girls minds in this city be

So small it astounds me

She’ll burn a bridge as revenge

And forget all I taught her

But I’m the god emcee so I

Learned to walk on water

I’m out

I don’t know why I’m still here

And I can’t leave without you

Philadelphia raised me but

I need something new

Girl I got dreams out in LA and

I need them to come true

I ain’t gonna leave you

Behind so baby girl come too
