rule the world i came from the city

The Get Down (série)

Do I have to rule the world?
Or will it conquer me?
Do I have to live in now
Or will it turn to me?
Do I have to lose my mind?
Cause it s been wandering
Will they ever let me out?
I ve been wondering

I came from the city, yeah
I came from the city, yeah
I came from the city, yeah

I came from the city, yeah
Got my name from the city, where?
The most dangerous city, let s take a trip back
Back in the time
1977, it was maximum crime
The president neglected us
Him and 6 masterminds
Six powerful men put New York
Through some drastic times
The rich and selfish ones feed off
The welfare ones
And which borough suffered the worst?
Hmm where I m from
The Bronx
We had to rumble with rivals on the rubble
While buildings around us would crumble
I dream right but it seem like
Nothing find me be trouble
I see the light, it s right there
At the end of the tunnel
Had to find my rope to pull me up
Cause I needed some kind of hope
To fill me up
Till I met one guy
Took em under the wing
I coulda died if this man ain t intervene
He was an orphan, my savior
Free spirited, no man braver
He was honored and gifted
His name was Shaolin Fantastic
The lady killin romantic
Can t forget the day we met
And this story be canceled but
Yo my life began last year
Sophomore High School
That summer I saw her, said to myself
She ll be my wife soon

Take me out of myself again
Help me lose control
Show me love, show me happiness
I can t do this on my own
Take me out of myself again
Help me lose control
Show me love, show me happiness
I can t do this on my own
