Verse 1
(F major) In (A minor) the city, in the city, in the (G major) uh
In the (D minor) (F major) city, in the city, in the city,
uh (A minor) (G major)
(D minor)
Sunshine (F major) through the metro,
outline the skyscraper (A minor)
Feel the flow of the city and it vibrates,
(G major) trash in the gutter
Garbage trucks make stops,
(D minor) traffic backed up to your bumper
for eight blocks (F major) to beat cops
Patrol the street tops, bo (A minor) dega by day,
but at night it's the weak spot
Right (G major) down the block is
a project tene (C major) ment,
(D minor) looks like Lebanon where
Bob just leveled it
Couches (F major) in the courtyard,
brownstone buildings,
(A minor) young guns hillin'
Try to make a killin',
(G major) it's all about the shillin',
so (C major) they gotta get the feelin'
It's (D minor) sur vival of (C major) the poor, man,
(D minor) tryna make a million in (F major) the park
There's some children,
sandcastle building,
(A minor) watchin' and learnin' from
the role model villains
Amongst (G major) the chaos and doom,
flowers still (D minor) bloom
Light up the night sky just like the moon
You ever (F major) seen a rose grow
on a concrete tomb?
Or (A minor) the rain cool the block
in the middle of June?
I (G major) have in this city plenty called (C major) home
It's (D minor) got a pulse and a mind of its own
This (F major) city is awake, it's alive and well
All (A minor) through the years it survived to tell
The (G major) stories of the glory
and the people that (C major) fell
Some (D minor) call it heaven and others call it hell
The (F major) city is awake, alive and well
All (A minor) through the years it survived to tell
The (G major) stories of the glory
and the people that fell
Some (D minor) call it heaven and others call it hell
See (F major) for me it's the peace
with the magnetic
(C major) So many (A minor) people on the outside
just can't get it
Seeking (G major) greener pastures
away from jungles made
(C major) of concrete
(D minor) Succumbing to the fears of the city street
(F major) See every place got its pros and cons
It's just (A minor) the city is so concentrated
That you can get (G major) frustrated
As if the cons is overweight
(D minor) And the prose is overrated,
it's in the (F major) quiet taste
Your preference might be a quiet place
(A minor) With breezy trees on
blocks that feel safe
Some (G major) say it's too pricey
and no place to raise
Kid (D minor) s where crime pays
and stray bullets (G major) raised
But (F major) if by amazing grace
you can survive these places
(A minor) Where rats race and cats chase
with (G major) a trace of civilization
Righteous (D minor) inclination and indignation
Is (F major) an indication that the world is yours
Pick (A minor) a cause and be the infectious effect
Be (G major) what's next, disprove all them idi (C major) ots
This (D minor) message brought to you
by your grown city kids
The (F major) city is awake, alive and well
All (A minor) through the years
it survived to tell
The (G major) stories of the glory
and the people that fell
Some (D minor) call it heaven and others call it hell
The (F major) city is awake, alive and well
All (A minor) through the years
it survived to tell
The (G major) stories of the glory
and the people that fell
Some (D minor) call it heaven and others call it hell
The (G major) city is (F major) awake, alive and well
All through the years
it survived to tell
The stories of the glory
and the people that fell
Some call it heaven and some call (F major) it hell (A minor) (G major)
(D minor) (F major)
(A minor)
(G major)
(D minor) (F major)
(A minor) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (F major)
(E major) (A minor) (D minor) (F major)
I (E major) need it (A minor) (D minor) like this to do all the
things I gotta do in life,
(E major) or what I need to do.
(F major) Well, that's fine,
but you're (D minor) ridiculous. (A minor) (D minor)
But (F major) what do you want?
I want (C major) a man who (D minor) knows
what he wants.
(E major) Decisive.
(F major) You don't know what you want.
Make (E major) up your mind (A minor) to be a man
and don't be (D minor) wishy
-washy on me. (F major) (F major)
(D minor) I know what I want.
My music.
Everything else (E major) is secondary. (F major)
I knew you would say that.
Then why jazz?
(A minor) (D minor)
