Reppin For My City Lyrics - Kardinal Offishall

Hook 2X: 

I'm black till I die, I'm young and I'm fly 

Putting in work I'm fly til I die 

Getting paper ride or die I'm puttin in work 

I'm steady steady reppin for my city ya ya 

Steady steady reppin for my city ya ya 

Yaga, from the city a hit makers 

We born cold so imagine what the heat make us 

From a city where its forbidden to breed fakers 

Nash on your team, still yelling beat Lakers 

The realest people never get they story told 

I'm ghostwriting the industry, nigga money owed 

You aint made enough if you see your money fold 

Whats in my wallets is never less than my area code 

I only beef wit the butcher whos handling orders 

The only secrets that I have is with customs and borders 

Throughout my true religions looking for my true religion 

God over everything, reporting from hells kitchen

[Hook 2X:] 

Yaga, I'm from a city of broken dreams 

So we get it eyes open from the Asia team 

Hard to imagine where I'm from has a million fiends 

The dynamics of cities breeding a hundred kings 

The true measure of this man is not measured in metric 

Ya I said so, who I had sex with 

I'm six foot four, with no interest in free throws 

(Welcome to my city) 

They still blasting the peep hole 

My city a lot better than that international 

Well let me tell you it's bigger than rap 

This for the kids from the ghetto 

Who never settle and know that we will take over the earth hello 

I'm tryin to be better fellow, pedal to the medal i'm a rebel 

Living on a higher level like, trouble, this trouble, and i do it 

For this struggle, never buckle tryin to make my money double 

'fore I make it out the huddle, break

[Hook 2X:] 

The media say when things go wrong this can't be our city 

How you mean? 365 yin and the yang we just don't talk about it 

From Jane strip to Crenshaw, one love 

From T dot to Nigeria we the same blood, 

Anywhere on the planet you look like me 

They may pat you down and ask you to produce I.D. 

Without the criminals we wouldn't really need police 

So it's understandable why we do not get no peace 

Yo, every cop ain't a threat and every brother aint' dealing 

Yo every rapper ain't lying but most will say what's appealing 

I got a stick to a code, honour people who died 

Every soldier who fought to Malcolm and civil rights 

If every day is like Christmas and every night is like Eve 

Then every day I'mma celebrate yo it's good to be me 

[Hook 2X:] 

Big up my city 

We don't move like y'all 

We don't dress like y'all 

We don't flex like y'all 

Ya know I mean 

One love
