## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

Say these n\*\*\*as ain't ridin' on low, oh

Push Benz through the bitch, ayy, and a n\*\*\*a gotta go, oh

DROGAS, I need a trophy for this shit, dawg

I need a trophy for this shit

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

City of the year, city of the year, that's where I'm from

City of the year, city of the year, they don't want none

City of the year, city of the year, them hoes can't come

Go hard or go home, I'm turnt up in the 'Go zone

City of the year

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Ayy, born in the middle of the West

Lil' n\*\*\*a, livin' in the middle of death

Raised 'round killers, that's why little impress

I'm sorry white folks, if it sound I'm a little oppressed

And I'm sorry, my n\*\*\*as, but I think you the best

You don't need no Khaled, 'cause that's on me, valid

Let me push my brother, we don't need no malice

N\*\*\*as raised in the projects, now they gon' need a palace

N\*\*\*as want JJ's, don't eat salads

Fourteen with a AK, and he'll let a n\*\*\*a have it (raaah raaah)

Fireworks in K-Town, man it's so tragic

Fireworks on the lakefront, shit look like Magic

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

City of the year, city of the year, that's where I'm from

City of the year, city of the year, they don't want none

City of the year, city of the year, them hoes can't come

Go hard or go home, I'm turnt up in the 'Go zone

City of the year

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

My city look pretty in the summer

6th grade, moved out to the hundreds

Prolly wouldn't have made it hangin' 'round my mama's

Harvey World where I made my come-up

Bishop was a BD, Dope claimed Lord

Cliqued all up, put it all on CD

Neutron don, but I prolly been a GD

God knows best, so he put me where he need me

Puttin' truth in all these rhymes

State tried to shut a n\*\*\*a down, gave my n\*\*\*a Chilly all that time

People think it came out of nowhere, it's all by design

They took away the chiefs and the streets lost their minds

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

City of the year, city of the year, that's where I'm from

City of the year, city of the year, they don't want none

City of the year, city of the year, them hoes can't come

Go hard or go home, I'm turnt up in the 'Go zone

City of the year

[Interlude: Rondo]

Turn up, let's get it

Turn up, life in the Windy City

Chiraq, Lupe, what up bro?

In the 'Go zone, in the 'Go zone

[Verse 3: Rondo]

Go hard or go home, we turnt up (we turnt up)

I'm from Chiraq

When we come around, we rush stuff (we rush stuff)

I gotta keep that

'Cause when I come around, they act tough (they act tough)

Chi Lupe, I'm so hard, I'm burnt up

City of the year, that's my shit, I'm ridin' 'round in traffic

Cdai, he got the mop stick, ain't shit change, I ain't quit

Ain't shit change, I ain't switch, I'm just smart, tryna get rich

I'm so high, you in a ditch, I'ma get mine, Money Makin' Mitch

You talkin' shit, you don't exist, I can leave you lost in the mist

I'm Rondo, real as it gets, either with me or you against

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

City of the year, city of the year, that's where I'm from

City of the year, city of the year, they don't want none

City of the year, city of the year, them hoes can't come

Go hard or go home, I'm turnt up in the 'Go zone

City of the year
