A Letter To Philadelphia Lyrics by Emanuel X

2018

{Verse 1: Emanuel X}
Actin erratic or sporadic
And catch this static/
Charismatic but you hate me
Cuz you live to be dramatic/
I spit it cinematic Cuz
I grew up on illmatic/
Cut from ill fabric
Texture idiosyncratic/
Ya music got no buzz?
We call that a light year/ (Buzz Lightyear)
Imma run this whole game
Lemme make that shit Quite clear/
You can live and die a no
Body but I’d rather Fight fear/
Laura kiss girls, don’t let em
Bi knock you, Laur (binocular) like a sight seer/
Love a hoe that’s
Down to kiss a hoe/
I can’t lie I feel the
Distance tho/
Ya past is something
I don’t need to know/
Niggas who stress
That are insecure/
Girl, You the only thing
Keepin me in this city/
If I leave and never Come back
I hope you can forgive me/
On some shit I gave this place my
Love my time and my vocals/
I’ll Be damned if I’m local Y’all
Know I deserve to be the focal/
{Chorus: RexRiot}
I don’t know why I’m still here
And I can’t leave without you/
Philadelphia raised me but
I need something new/
Girl, I got dreams out in LA and
I need them to come true/
I ain’t gonna leave you
Behind so babygirl come too/
{Verse 2: Emanuel X}
One time for the
Niggas slick hatin/
Two times for the
People at my shows/
Three times for Hoes
I’m no longer datin/
Four times for the
Niggas actin slow/
I know y’all well aware of
The art I’m creating/
But faking like y’all uninformed
Of everything that I’m making/
Mistaken as somebody that’s here
To put this city on the map/
But why have love for something That never shows that it loves you back?/
Jenny showed me more love than
This city and she from Africa/
Don’t need none after ya cuz she
Got more curves than parabolas/
She noticed I was more poetic
Than the average rapper was/
But Philly don’t? this shit not
Adding up check the algebra/
Date Queens out the country
You date hoes in ya county/
Girls minds in this city be
So small it astound me/
She’ll burn a bridge as revenge
And forget all I taught her/
But I’m the god emcee, so I
Learned to walk on water/
I’m out
{Chorus: RexRiot}
I don’t know why I’m still here
And I can’t leave without you/
Philadelphia raised me but
I need something new/
Girl, I got dreams out in LA and
I need them to come true/
I ain’t gonna leave you
Behind so babygirl come too/
