City Is Mine

[Intro]

(Southern Smoke)

What's goin' on? This is ya boy, Drake

Frequently referred to as the new version of Fresh Prince

And right now, you in the mix with the number one DJ in the South

DJ Smallz, man, yo, put ya lighters up

It's Southern Smoke, baby (Southern Smoke)

[Verse 1]

This the record that my backpack underground fans get to skippin'

Back back, Southern town, get to tippin'

Chasin' fat stacks, runnin' down grands and submission

I don't backtrack, every single sound for me different

I don't own no ice, I just got clean rap

I don't ever two-step, I just rock, lean, snap

We could take it out to Houston, where the rides all glossed up

Anybody I'm standin' besides all bossed up

Burglar-minded, they say I'm servin' them rhymers

And me and Nickel F. go together like burgers and diners, yes

I'm like a waiter, if you somethin' like a hater

With trays in both hands, place an order, I can cater, uh

I got the diamonds in my teeth flow, Memphis is the reason that my rhymin' and my speech slow

Peep though, when I get fed up, it's sped up, ridin' through the streets, just reclinin' in my seat, hoe

Uh, them city lights is lookin' brighter, it's three AM in the morning and the pen is like a lighter

I'm just a writer flamin' pages of a notebook, my Rachel McAdams get at 'em when I ignite her (Haha!)

Yup, soon as a couple plan a trip, you smell gasoline I be burnin' all up and down the strip, strip

I done said it, I give you the unleaded, just tip me, if ya tank is empty, come get me

[Chorus]

Yo, the city is mine (Which one?), T-O-R-O-N-T-O

D-R-A-K-E, that's me, you know how the story go

Pull up, Range Rove', yo' chick, wanna roll

And I play myself in the stereo and I make 'em wanna

Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it

Girl, move that thang, like you gettin' money for college, go!

Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it

Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college

[Post-Chorus]

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down, break it down

[Verse 2]

Break it down like you working for your tuition at Howard

Momma, get it how you live, that thang that you working is power

Tryna be generous, so honey, here's a tip

Nowadays, it's gettin' cheaper to put twenties on the whip

So if you a opportunist look for twenties in the clip

And if you find 'em attractive and funny, that's when you dip, dip

And it's a trip, my city broke into sections

Up North I got me a couple of troubles, couple connections

And it's nothing that I created on purpose

There's people that gotta problem, but they scared to let it surface, uh

And boy say this, that, and the third to 'em

See me out, and they never utter a word to 'em

Expect me not to draw a card from the deck, anybody in my city going hard, I respect, but-

You got a debt and you choose not to pay that, I'ma hop ya fence, come into ya yard and collect, 'lect, uh

It's not a problem or concern, bruh, I always end up with exactly what I earn, bruh

This ain't last year, money like a cashier, so have ya receipt if you tryna make a return, bruh

Yes sir, I live in a city where a lot of people don't get shine, shine

And, I be on my defense as soon as anybody stepping out of line, line

And I got way too much love, for the city I can never get too much of

And if anybody hatin' on me, I deport 'em, the city is mine boy

[Chorus]

Yo, the city is mine (Which one?), T-O-R-O-N-T-O

D-R-A-K-E, that's me, you know how the story go

Pull up, Range Rove', yo' chick, wanna roll

And I play myself in the stereo and I make 'em wanna

Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it

Girl, move that thang, like you gettin' money for college, go!

Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it

Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college

[Post-Chorus]

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down

(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down, break it down
