[Jay-Z]. Uh-uhh-uh ge-ge-geyeah. Chorus: Blackstreet. You belong to the city (Uh-uhh-uh what what). You belong to the night (Uh-uhh-uh ge-ge-geyeah). In the river of darkness. He's a man of the night. Verse One: Jay-Z. Uhh yeah. What 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 reigns. And just like your spirit the commision remains. Niggaz 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?. Chorus: Blackstreet. You belong to the city (The city is mine what-what-what). You belong to the night (Ge-ge-geyeah uh-uhh-uh pa-pau). In the river of darkness. He's a man of the night (The city is mine that's right...). Verse Two: Jay-Z. 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 niggaz 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 niggaz 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?. Chorus: Blackstreet. You belong to the city (The city is mine). You belong to the night (Yeah uhh the city is mine). In the river of darkness (Pa-pa feel me). He's a man of the night (Yeah yeah bounce bounce). Verse Three: Jay-Z. I snatch your girl cause your arm ain't strong enough. Plus ya 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 6. Got your chick cause you swore she was innocent. Got her a Chinese manicure hair done by Dominicans all for what. So I could be in a dark corner all in the butt. at the bar alchoholing her up. I represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream. A buck fifty a shot Louis the Thirteenth. Jay-Z Roc-A-Fella yo know the name. I ain't a player get it right I'm controllin the game. From now until they blow holes in my frame. I'ma stand firm holdin my aim feel me?. I'm the focal point like Biggie in his prime. on the low though - shhhhh the city is mine!
