this city (remix)
Singer:patrick stump
now what if i told you my city was the best
and my city was a threat to the rest
and my city was a threat to the rest
i was born and raised here
and whether it's warm or storming or downright stupid hot
from the problems all the way to the solutions yeah
forget all the drugs and gangs
corruption and pollution no
cause this city is my city
i was born and raised here
now what if i told you my city was the best
and my city was a threat to the rest
but you can't rest inside my city
my city's so cold if you ain't dressed
better had a right address
certain colors can't step
and sadly i'm talking about the color of your skin
cause the property value might go down to a level that's
economically unacceptable and socially taboo for us to live around you
is this what it's down to?
mines is a bad education and gentrification
despite all the above i love. this city is my city
i was born and raised here
but you're never gonna take my city away
cause you can burn it to the ground
cause this city is my city
i was born and raised here
