City Lights

Yeah, uh, uh
East Coast, we in the building
From the city that never sleeps
Let’s get it, uh

Raised in the heart of the city, grindin' all day
From the blocks of New York, where the legends lay
Cold winds blowin’, but the hustle’s warm
We rise to the top, stayin' true to the form

Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, man, we built this game
From the pavement to the stage, we ain't playin' no games
The heart of the East, where the struggle’s real
We keep movin', got that drive, that steel

From the corner to the rooftop, dreams in my mind
Every bar I spit is a piece of the grind
I hustle like Biggie, my flow’s a menace
You can hear it in the rhythm, every sentence is relentless

I ain’t chasin’ fame, just chasin' the truth
I’m just a kid from the city with a message in the booth
From the projects to the skyscrapers, watch me elevate
East Coast grind, man, we here to dominate

City lights, we shine so bright
From the streets to the stage, we’re takin' flight
East Coast vibe, we feelin' so alive
Every move we make, we continue to rise

City lights, yeah, they never go out
We keep it real, and we never have doubt
From the block to the top, we claim our spot
East Coast livin', man, it’s all we got

From the Empire State to the bridge so wide
We stay true to the grind, never runnin' to hide
From the first rhyme drop to the final applause
We made it from the struggle, man, against all odds

The streets raised me, so I carry that weight
Every move, every step, man, I got that fate
I got the legacy of Pac, the flow of Nas
East Coast kings, we forever make jaws drop

We built this sound, from the heart of the city
Every verse, every word, it’s all pretty gritty
From the beats that slap to the rhymes so tight
We keep it East Coast, yeah, we keep it right

City lights, we shine so bright
From the streets to the stage, we’re takin' flight
East Coast vibe, we feelin' so alive
Every move we make, we continue to rise

City lights, yeah, they never go out
We keep it real, and we never have doubt
From the block to the top, we claim our spot
East Coast livin', man, it’s all we got

From the dawn to the night, the grind don’t stop
We hustle every minute, we climb to the top
Got the sound of the city in the beat of our chest
East Coast soldiers, we’ll never rest

Came from the struggle, now we see the light
Got the city in our blood, and we hold it tight
Every step’s a victory, every rhyme’s a test
We keep pushin' forward, no time to second guess

City lights, we shine so bright
From the streets to the stage, we’re takin' flight
East Coast vibe, we feelin' so alive
Every move we make, we continue to rise

City lights, yeah, they never go out
We keep it real, and we never have doubt
From the block to the top, we claim our spot
East Coast livin', man, it’s all we got

Uh, East Coast, stand up
We made it from the bottom, now we rise
Forever real, forever true
Yeah, that’s how we do, peace.
