Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
What's the deal, playboy? Just rest your soul
I be holding it down yo still love the dough
Got these ladies on the cock now you know how we go
Got the whole world on lock down you know how we flow
Don't worry about Brooklyn I continue to flame
Therefore a world with amnesia won't forget your name
You held it down long enough, let me take those reins
And just like your spirit the commission remains
Niggas can cross the T's and, dots the I's
Now that I got too popular to cop them pies
I'm takin' this rap shit serious, to my demise
Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise
Basics in the basement, waste it
Asking my dog for advice so when he can't say shit
My hatred is, fueled just give me a sign
And I let the world know that the city is mine, what?
You belong to the city (this city is mine)
You belong to the night (this city is mine)
In the river of darkness (this city is mine)
He's the man of the night (that's right)
Y'all want to know how I flow just seek and you find
I'm like a brain in the voicebox, I speak my mind
About to redefine rap mami, either I'm
The illest nigga doing it or these niggas is losin' it
I read a article that said I was ruinin' shit
But every time I look, I'm movin' units in quick
So I'ma hit y'all, with these last two and split
And leave niggas with nothing but my influences-es
Soon it's the jigga, I ain't mad, yeah, bite my shit
Sell half of what I sell because it's not quite my shit
I'm the type to buy a Roley and just ice my shit
On the spot, fuck comin' back twice to shit
How real is that? My floss game, still intact
Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that
Like the first dude to cop the 850 and 89
And drove it up to 55th, the city is mine, what?
You belong to the city (this city is mine)
You belong to the night (this city is mine)
In the river of darkness (feel me)
He's the man of the night (yeah)
I snatch a girl 'cause your arm ain't strong enough
Plus y'all don't stay in the studio long enough
I make hits while y'all stay hatin' and take bricks
Had it locked 'til I came in the club
Take six, snap your chick 'cause you swore she was innocent
Got her a Chinese manicure, hear them about the Minicans
All for what?
So I could be in the dark corner, all in the bud
At the bar, alcohol in the up
I represent the lifestyle of those who thirst scream
Buck 50 a shot, Louis to 13
Jay-Z, Rockefeller, yo, know the name
I ain't a player, get it right, I'm controlling the game
From now until they blow holes in my brain
I'ma stand firm, holding my aim
I'm the focal point, like Biggie and his prime on the Lodo
The city is mine
You belong to the city (this city is mine)
You belong to the night (this city is mine)
In the river of darkness (feel me)
He's the man of the night (this city is mine, is mine, is mine)
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
You belong
You belong
In the river of darkness
He's the man of the night
