(Intro)
You can make it here, you can make it anywhere
(Verse)
Eight million stores in a New York minute
I'll explain my mind with this new port singlet
See, my state of mind matches my New York fitted
Let my table why, you can hear New York in it
The end is acknowledged with some New York king shit
Trace the lineage, that's how New York spits it
(Hook)
We belong to the city
(Verse)
We apply brute force to your door and kick it
Upstate arm, reside in an urban paradise
Whether carry Christ on crosses, 24 karat ice
The D is slurkin' and servin' the Barry White
Or if you prefer the sour D word, the air is nice
Increase limits Fahrenheit, up there in the heights
Free ? t-shirt, hurlin' a pair of dice
Whirlwind nights, the blurs can impair your sights
See my name ? the longer that you stare at the lights
Focus
(Hook)
We belong to the city
(Verse)
It's no love in the heart, end square if we prepare to fight
I belong in the garden, Madison Square, with the mic
The ghost of Armando, the spirit of Sean Pell(?)
Was on 1 Dali and Creston, livin' a Bronx tale
Hopped off the D-train into a new car smell
Big city of dreams, what many would call hell
Ain't as pretty as it seems, it will crack yo heart shell
In with infrared beams where the shootin' stars dwell
(Hook)
We belong to the city
(Verse)
And my winning team moves like we the cartel
From Albany and the BKing to money make in Manhattan
The streets are sayn that money is makin' it happen
From Jersey to Queens, Long Island and Staten
I be quietly killin' em like a silent assassin
Keep one eye open in a city full of insomniacs
These nocturnal freaks and zombies with straps
We all got heat(?) so this metropolis is packed
The new era of New York rap, I got this on my back
War!
(Hook)
We belong to the city
