Built This City (feat. Hell Rell)

(We built this city)

(We built this city)

(We built this city)

(We built this city on rock)

(Built this city) On these blocks we hustle

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) Turn bricks to whips

(We built this city on rock and roll) On Rock

(Built this city) In the midst of the struggle

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) From bottom to top

(We built this city on rock and roll) Through the agony, pain, Diplomat, it will rage

Shane, you with me? Come on

Ayo, my Dipset Taliban

We on these streets like the wars on them streets of Afghanistan

Better yet, of Pakistan

To America, Harlem's Al Qaeda

Any problems, I'll spray ya, not to startle the mayor

But in this fifty block radius, let's get the rock and shave the shit

Or get the Glock and blaze the shit

Bitches get the cock and savor it

They say Jim Jones the capo, my favorite

(Fuckers, you heard him) (Told you we gon' get it right, shit)

'Cause some of this shit, my city wasn't built up over

Drugs and money, some shit you'll get killed up over

Slumped on your wheel, straight tilted over

Trust me, dawgs, I seen it in peril

**** wasted and painted and seen on a mural

(That's Harlem) In this apple of mine is rotten, damn

Cap up your shines, pop shots that'll crack up your minds

And cop rocks and cook that crack up to dimes

New York City, the capital of crime

(We built this city) From the packin' and stackin'

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) From the scramblin' and gamblin'

(We built this city on rock and roll) On Rock

(Built this city) From the packin' and stackin'

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) From the scramblin' and gamblin', blammin' the cannon

(We built this city on rock and roll) At ya face, mother, uh

Santana the great, yo

Now once again, it's Santana the Great

I built this city on hammers and weight

Gasoline, rope, bandanas, and tape

Lots of fiends, lots of coke being handed away

You know, the usual

Shut 'em down, set up shop, how we usually do

Cut 'em down, dead the block, man, we movin' through

Diplomats is the strongest force

On and off the court, we ball, it's more than sports, motherfucker

(We ain't stoppin' here) (It's Santana, ****, come on)

We built this city from ground zero to spittin' the pound, zero

Brown pistol at ya, get down, kick-o

Yeah, this is from the ground up, ****

So get your weight and your pounds up, ****

'Cause when it's beef, my homies mount up quicker

Pick the pound much quicker, lay you down much quicker

You never been approached by golden eagles

Vultures that'll scope and feed you

No cook, just leave you, shit, you know

(We built this city) On blood, sweat, and tears

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) We gon' make it to the top

(We built this city on rock and roll) On Rock

(Built this city) Through blood, sweat, and tears

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) Blood, sweat, and tears

Through the trials and tribulations, we gon' make it through the years

(We built this city on rock and roll) Come on

Yo, yo

It's like, what I wouldn't do for a buck

Our enemies can't rest in peace, Jones, we shoot they funerals up

New gangsters in the city, bitch, ring the alarm

All y'all hoes bow down, kiss the ring of a Don

It's about to get real big, player, humongous

Stacked money so long, till it grew fungus

We was gon' let you live until you threw punches

Now we go to get critical and we got to get rid of you

And we the most talked about, the most popular

We live by the codes, we the Dipset Mafia

You never know who's watchin' ya

You never know who's plottin' to pop at ya

We focused like a pair of binoculars

I'm 'bout to get gritty

M5s, CLKs, garage look like Alphabet City

And I'm a hustler, I put cracks in communities

Cops can't touch me, got diplomatic immunity

Now drop 'em, guaranteed a million shipped this scam

If not, back to the block, ship some grams

If not, get with Cam

I got clips to lift a van, flip it, fam, shit, they can kick the can

This cat think he sling 'cause he got a pinky ring

Rinky-dink diamonds, they don't even make your pinky bling

(We built this city) And now I'm 'bout to kill this city

(We built this city) Krill for fifty, yeah, I'm actin' real sadiddy

(We built this city) 'Cause I collect mils in fifties

(We built this city on rock) For real, it's pretty and y'all gon' feel the pity

Killer, Dipset, bitch, brah, brah

(We built this city) On blood, sweat, and tears

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) We gon' make it to the top

(We built this city on rock and roll) On Rock, on rock

(Built this city) Through blood, sweat, and tears

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) Blood, sweat, and tears

Through the trials and tribulations, we gon' make it through the years

(We built this city on rock and roll) Come on

(Built this city) On these blocks we hustle

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) Turn bricks to whips

(We built this city on rock and roll) On Rock

(Built this city) In the midst of the struggle

(We built this city on rock) On rock

(Built this city) From bottom to top

(We built this city on rock and roll) Through the agony, pain, Diplomat, it will rage

(Built this city)

(We built this city on rock)

(Built this city)
