This city is my city
And I love it, yeah I love it
I was born and raised here
I got it made here
And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay
From every corner
To every block yeah
And whether it's warm or storming it down or right stupid hot, hot
From the colors
all the way to the solutions yeah
Forget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution no
Cause this city is my city
And I love it, yeah I love it
I was born and raised here
I got it made here
And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here

For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
From every highrise
Down to every slum
From every unethical politician to the wise old beat up bum
My city and I our hearts beat, beat, beat together
When I'm home we both breathe, breathe, breathe together
This place is my home, wherever I go, I, I, I, I take it with me
This city is my city
And I love it, yeah I love it
I was born and raised here
I got it made here
And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life, uh huh
For life
And you can take my picture
you can take my name
But you're never gonna take my city away
Cause you can burn it to the ground
Oh or let it flood, but it's in my blood

Cause this city is my city
And I love it, yeah I love it
