This City

I heard this song on the radio a while ago, and it came up again today after work when i was on my way to the gym.

I can say that this song is the story of my life! i love the lyrics and the tone and everything.





Now what if I told you my city was the bestAnd my city was a threat to the restAnd my city was a threat to the rest
[Hook: Patrick Stump]This city is my cityAnd I love it, yeah I love itI was born and raised hereI got it made hereAnd if I have my way, I'm gonna stay
[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]From every cornerTo every block yeahAnd whether it's warm or storming it down or right stupid hot, hotFrom the colors all the way to the solutions yeahForget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution no
[Hook: Patrick Stump]Cause this city is my cityAnd I love it, yeah I love itI was born and raised hereI got it made hereAnd if I have my way, I'm gonna stay hereFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huh
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]Now what if I told you my city was the bestAnd my city was a threat to the restBut you can't rest inside my cityMy city's so cold if you ain't dressedAnd what they accept, better had a right addressCome to my city, certain colors can't stepAnd sadly I'm talking about the color of your skinSorry my brother can't let you inCause the property value might go down to a level that's[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/this-city-lyrics-patrick-stump.html ]Economically unacceptable and socially tabu fast to live around youUh, uh, is this what it's down to?Roof for the same team, n*gga had the same dreamNot the same reality,Actually, mines is a bad education and gentrificationDespite all the above I love...
[Hook: Patrick Stump]This city is my cityAnd I love it, yeah I love itI was born and raised hereI got it made hereAnd if I have my way, I'm gonna stay hereFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huh
[Bridge: Patrick Stump]And you can take it backPicture, you can take it backBut you're never gonna take my city awayCause you can burn it to the groundOh or let it flood, but it's in my blood
[Hook: Patrick Stump]Cause this city is my cityAnd I love it, yeah I love itI was born and raised hereI got it made hereAnd if I have my way, I'm gonna stay hereFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huhFor life, uh huh
