The City Lyrics

[Intro]
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood (Wassup)
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood (Yeah)
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line- (yeah)
Cuz I'm in a New York

[Verse 1: Hi-Rez]
Kickin' back with a joint and a Heineken
Homies knocking at the door I'll invite 'em in
My boy Cash got the daily dose of Vitamins
Thinking kinda straight so lets roll it and get high again
Fuck a chick next day we don't text them
But in a week we get a text from their best friend
Said they heard my music playing up on XM
Then we get their legs spread like the symbol less than
Just know, you now rockin' with a gentleman
Ask Mr. Webster I'm a synonym for genuine
Youngest in the game but I'm feeling like a veteran
Haters causing headaches time to pop a few excedrin
Real talk always got the dopest gear on
Rarely see me out I'm in the booth fuck beer pong
You didn't hear wrong
That's what I said trick
People call me Resolution
Now it's Hi-Rez bitch
[Chorus]
I'm in New York
We in the city and we never gonna stop
We in the city and we feeling on top
So light in now love hit the picture shot
Little bit of weed and some beer all we need to rock
We in the, we in the , we in the city
We gettin', we gettin', we gettin busy
Taxi cabs black smoke it's a pitty
Cheap ass headphones listenin' to Biggie

[Verse 2: Triple J]
You trippin', 'cause I been on my grind you ain't know that
The style and the pockets both lookin' so fat
Hopped off the train, hopped in the cab
Presidential suite hotel room, swag
Not to brag but my city is the illest
For really, there ain't no competition just kill it
I'm chillin' up in time square
Everybody stare
I do a show downtown diss some dimes there
Rezy hit me up on the Jag 'bout to drag
Told him I just need a 6 pack and I got his back, it's a fact
That when I rap triple gonna rip it
I take the 6 be there in a New York minute
Yeah we just set the bar higher
What other state you know that's a fuckin' empire
Never die 'cause this city don't sleep
We just let the knicks ball and then watch the Yanks sweep
[Chorus]
I'm in New York
We in the city and we never gonna stop
We in the city and we feeling on top
So light in now love hit the picture shot
Little bit of weed and some beer all we need to rock
We in the, we in the, we in the city
We gettin', we gettin', we gettin' busy
Taxi cabs black smoke it's a pitty
Cheap ass headphones listening to Biggie


[Verse 3: Hi-Rez]
You ain't flying with me
Pick another airline
So far gone like Bruce Willis hair line
Haters said my music wouldn't get air time
But they gonna see, like the Chicago Bears sign
Dare I continue with this rap shit
Shake the damn world as I fuck up earths axis
Hold it up like atlas incredible rappin' tactics
Hi-Rezolution puttin' broward on the map, biatch
And it's lights, camera, action
Who's that white boy rappin' with an awesome sense of fashion
Grabbin' asses no sexual harassment
Couldn't stop my flow with a box of tampax's
And I keep on flowin'
Energizer bunny shit I keep on going
My fan base growing
My lyrics stupid dumb, no blonde moments
[Chorus]
I'm in New York
We in the city and we never gonna stop
We in the city and we feeling on top
So light in now love hit the picture shot
Little bit of weed and some beer all we need to rock
We in the, we in the , we in the city
We gettin', we gettin', we gettin busy
Taxi cabs black smoke it's a pitty
Cheap ass headphones listenin' to Biggie
I'm in New York
