Gotham City livin’
The illest niggas be killin’
The little niggas be dealin’
The realest niggas be feelin’ this
Flow
Artists on the train stay promoting shows
Classy hoes in overcoats
Bros tryna score some blow
Sellin’ candy for a cause, people hardly buy it though
I’m from a place where emcees used to flow for bones
Rappers these days are phony G’s full of estrogen
While you slackin’, I put in work like a Mexican
And strive to receive this recognition that I’m next to get
I’m the shit, motherfucker, so expect a scent
This ancient city molded me into a titan
That’ll smack any nigga comin’ at me with impoliteness
Steel serpents take travelers to destinations
And little ghouls play with dead things for recreation
No mistaking, this place is a nest for damnation
But I could never leave this beautiful abomination
Project halls harbor souls that are trapped in stasis
While the devils look down at us from their corporations
Gotham City; Wu-Tang bumpin’ in the blood stream
While I’m writing bars, tryna rectify a pipedream
Rest assured, challenging the kid is risky
You couldn’t see me like Stalin’s upper lip, G
Yeah. While ya’ll stressin’, I’m flexin’
‘Cause Gotham taught me to be happy
But expect the worst ending
