Sometimes it all just come together you know
I put my city on my back now
And push the haters in the background
Together we walk but divided to the struggle we fall
Got my city on the map now
That's why I could never back down
Never back down show 'em through it all
You gotta stand tall
To all of my friends enemies and affiliates
Burn the back wood burn it down to your fingertips
Let the whole world recognize this accomplishment
You couldn't have told me none of this back in '96
The ability to crawl upon the bottom this bitch
This is our time I'm spending mine rockin this bitch
I still remember the very moment I was enlisted
I studied under sadistic gangsters is with the business
And when there's blood in the streets from my brothers and sisters
They wanna debate on television about the victim
Right or wrong if Trevon was my little man
I would take a chainsaw to Zimmerman
I put my city on my back now
And push the haters in the background
Together we walk but divided to the struggle we fall
Got my city on a map now
That's why I could never back down
Never back down show 'em through it all
You gotta stand tall
For all the moments I wasted on making others happy
Attack me I'm bulletproof hack me I'll seen a virus through
I never lied to you still roll with a choosen few
Spit every word and I mean it meaing I really body you
'Cause I would rather be in hell then a jail cell
I'm Hancock superheroes lend me cocktails
I never fail don't try to patronize me
Alert and painfully aware of everything in my surroundings
I am shaved fully shining never touched the silver lineing
The only cross that I bear is covered with some fucking diamonds
I hear my city calling here come the juggernaut
With twelve hundred soldiers in the parking lot
I put my city on my back now
And push the haters in the background
Together we walk but divided to the struggle we fall
Got my city on a map now
That's why I could never back down
Never back down show 'em through it all
You gotta stand tall
So figurin ain't option
How do you think I made it out that corner apartment
Turn my corner to my market and now I target the same
Niggas I thought all of that dumb shit
'Cause when the gun click and that bullet leave you can't get that life back
Karma is a bitch and believe me she'll get it right back
They say that success is the best revenge
But who really wins if we all die in the end
If I had it all then I probably wouldn't pray the same
And the cloth that I'm cut from stich together with pain
My name good on every corner in my city
You don't believe me then come fuck with me slim
I put my city on my back now
And push the haters in the background
Together we walk but divided to the struggle we fall
Got my city on a map now
That's why I could never back down
Never back down show 'em through it all
You gotta stand tall
