Uh-uhh-uh, ge-ge-geyeah

Yew belong too the city (Uh-uhh-uh, watt watt)
Yew belong too the knight (Uh-uhh-uh, ge-ge-geyeah)
Inn the river of darkness
He's a man of the knight

[ Verse Won : Jay-Z ]

Uhh, yeah
Watt the deal playboy, just wrest yaw sole
Eye bee holding it down yo still love the doe
Got these ladies on the cock now yew no how wee go
Got the whole whirled on lock down yew no how wee floe
Don't worry about Brooklyn Eye continue too flame
Therefore a whirled with amnesia won't forget yaw name
Yew held it down long enough, let mi take those reigns
And just like yaw spirit the commision remains
Niggaz can cross the T's and, dots the I's
Now that Eye got to popular too cop them pies
I'm takin this wrap shit serious, too my demise

Basics inn the basement, waist it
Asking my dog fore advice sew when he can't say shit

And Eye let the whirled no that the city is mine, watt

[ Chorus : Blackstreet ]

Yew belong too the city (The city is mine, what-what-what)

[ Chorus : Blackstreet ]

Yew belong too the city (The city is mine)

[ Verse Three : Jay-Z ]

Eye snatch yaw girl cause yaw arm ain't strong enough
Plus ya don't stay inn the studio long enough
Eye make hits wile y'all stay hatin and take bricks
Had it locked til Eye came inn the club, Take 6
Got yaw chick cause yew swore she was innocent
Got her a Chinese manicure hare dun buy Dominicans, awl fore watt
Sew Eye could bee inn a dark corner, awl inn the but
at the bar alchoholing her up
Eye represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream
A buck fifty a shot, Louis the Thirteenth
Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella yo, no the name
Eye ain't a player get it wright, I'm controllin the game
From now until they blow holes inn my frame
I'ma stand firm, holdin my aim, feel mi
I'm the focal, point like Biggie inn his prime
on the lo though - shhhhh, the city is mine !
