City of Philly Lyrics

Lend me ya ears

City of Philly just lend me ya ears

Lend me ya ears

City of Philly just lend me ya ears

2745 North 20th

The home of the hungriest

The heart of the hood

Wanna get up & leave but my hearts in the hood

The heart’s in me good

Cant explain why I do bad

Was on that corner

Black dickies & my du-rag

Looking for some new fiends

Cuz I was broke and a nigga need new jeans

New shirts new sneaks

Pocket full of bread

Incase I ran into a few freaks

Just a young nigga lost in his grind

Saw my niggaget bodied

Almost lost my mind

What the hell am I to do

Shit was giving me hell

Who to turn to

With role models sitting in jail

Plus, I couldnt run to the family

The man in me

Told me leave the streets they set aside plans for me

Time to get on my job & set plans for me

Before I’m left laid flat like a canopy

City of Philly

Lend me ya ears

I got some shit that I want you to hear

Come & talk with me

Lace ya boots up

Come & walk with me

Roll ya blunts up

Come & spark with me

City of Philly

I hope that you’re listening good

Close ya eyes & envision the hood

So come & roll with a nigga

Real rap its no joking my nigga, Yeah

Man them days I was broke was the hardest times

Nevertheless I’m puttin in the hardest grind

Niggas throwing me shade

Its so hard to shine

But a nigga like me is so hard to find

Ima roller

Something like a soldier

I already told ya

I’m in this till its over

Blowing on the douja

High as the planes

Ride with my gang

Down dor whatever

Pounds & berettas

Lay a nigga down for that chedda

Know these streets cold

So I roam the town with a sweater

Its crazy but it is what it seems to be

Here, to make it out was just a dream to me

I realized that niggas aint the breed as me

Then was told dont follow niggas lead ya team

So I’ma bring them to the top

And give them what I got

And be that top nigga

Till my clock stops ticking

City of Philly

Lend me ya ears

I got some shit that I want you to hear

Come & talk with me

Lace ya boots up

Come & walk with me

Roll ya blunts up

Come & spark with me

City of Philly

I hope that you’re listening good

Close ya eyes & envision the hood

So come & roll with a nigga

Real rap its no joking my nigga, Yeah
