In The City Lyrics

[Intro: David Ruffin]
There's nothing I can say
'Cause I just can't be heard anymore

[Verse 1: The Game]
I was forced to be a gangbanger
On the cover of The Source with my chain hangin'
That was '05, still Fuck Benzino

Ridin' through the city with them twin Benzitos
Steppin' on C-notes, rollin' red dice like casinos
Throwing 'tron shots like free-throws
Tell Judas I'm alive and well
Will I be crucified? Only time will tell, until then I'm thuggin'

Spend my money on whatever
Runnin' through this cheddar as long as my crew together
Pop Ace, pop tags, pop hammers
Thug Life, I put that on Pac's bandana
Los Angeles king, tell my niggas in the bing
I blacked out the car and minimized the bling
Updated the Ghost, went Nas on the wave cap
And made wifey ring rocky, A$AP, yeah
Uh huh, let's go

[Chorus: Sam Hook]
This right here reminds me of when
The playas had the dope so the girls brought their friends
And every single night we did it again
We had a good time, we had a good time
In the city
[Verse 2: Fred the Godson]
I was forced to be a force
Diamonds in my cross, the cost for me to floss
Got me exhausted
Exhaust that's on the Porsche, got me wide awake
Just make sure that my wallets caked while I wait
The coupe drop well
Got banana clips in the Big Apple, homie, fruit cocktail
Eh Game what it look like
I got the shorty and I'm playing with her chest in the corner
Look like a rook, right? Hahaha

The city that never sleeps
We ain't talking 'bout money, we prolly will never speak
Lobby within a week, we generated revenue
Old heads put me on the things that I never knew
I'm big in New York, word to my moms baby
And it's hard to be the Giant, just ask Tom Brady
That's why they pay me
When you ask who the best right now, that's why they say me
Fred and The Game, peace, T.B.M., peace

[Chorus: Sam Hook]
This right here reminds me of when
The playas had the dope so the girls brought their friends
And every single night we did it again
We had a good time, we had a good time
In the city

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
