My City Lyrics by Toya Delazy

Ascension

2015

[Intro]
My city, my city
My city, I love my city
My city, I love my city
My city, I love my city
My city, my city, my city
My city, I love my city
My city, I love my city
[Verse 1]
If I told you I'm broke
I've got nowhere to go
While people sit up on their thrones
We burning down below
Cause the bottom is rock
And the top is roll
How do little flowers grow
When it's tough the top
It's cool below
Will I ever know
[Chorus]
My city, my city
My city, I love my city
My city, my city
My city, I love my city
My city, my city
My city, I love my city
My city, I love my city
My city, I love my city
[Verse 2]
I said I'd rather be forlorn than be borne upon
I'd rather be ensconced than in uniform
I'm moving with my daddy passport
My jeans are torn
I don't try to disguise
I move like a force
I left a piece of my life in every moving choice
I hold the message of the streets hear it in my voice
I been in and out call it intercourse
North, east, west, south pits my points
I love my city I cannot divorce
Tell it as it is
[Verse 3] [Cassper Nyovest]
I'm from a place where nobility is not important
For survival it's either you kill or get extorted
Many had dreams and they ignored them
Till they saw him then they mocked him
Said it before I did it then did it
Man I'm a prophet like my gran'dad
Built a nation with his bare hands
From Peanut butter le jam
And now the stadium is jam packed
Pardon me people you have to excuse my ego
This is what happens when you clearly surpass you heroes
When you think about it they could've done more and
I'm sure I'm not the only monster to run from skhampho
Me and Toya just spoke about it and it seems real
You know you always gotta check how the team feel
My childhood and morals is not equal
Cause I grew up with dogs
But they were some good people
Product of the change
King of Jo’burg
Born and raised in Mafikeng hey
[Ad Lib]
[Chorus]
