I made it here on my own
Took my place on my throne
Seen the place I call home
Hit the ground runnin' runnin'
I see the city lights shine
Till I reach that skyline
Its the place I call mine
The city I'm loving loving
I put on for my city I put on
Take the chains off my wrist baby say welcome home
Reminiscin' on my days In a cage made of stone
Impossible to break someone made for the throne
(Look) I put on for my city I put on
Seduced by the same fucking streets that I Rome
Got the island on tilt with the crown I put on
The king want the gold and the silver and the bronze
I put off for my city she raised me
A lot of people calling her crazy
She taught me how to drive in this whip Miss Daisy
She let the street life and the lights persuade me
She calling me baby
She said I graduated to king from Prince
And then I'm destined for the throne and I've been convinced
She taught me how to wipe the chunk from my fingerprints
I took a loss but the W lingered Since
I made it here on my own
Took my place on my throne
Seen the place I call home
Hit the ground runnin' runnin'
I see the city lights shine
Till I reach that skyline
Its the place I call mine
The city I'm loving loving
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city, oh ohh
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on
I put on for my city
I'm puttin' on for my city, moving up like a high rise
Hands on the clock watch out when it's my time
I do it for the homies who are locked within a prison cell
People shootin' dope in their arms and they isn't well
Gotta pay respect to the city that raised me
The island like my mother & the streets are my baby
We winning the lottery but stricken by poverty
So put your hands up, like we Hittin' a Robbery
This is for ppl steady stackin' up their bill fold
The dealers on the corners or you lacing up your steal toes
We coming from the north, where the winters still be real cold
My family deep rooted, and now I watch my seeds grow
And this night is looking pretty nice
That feelin that you get when you underneath the city lights
Don't blame me for the past stop actin like it's my fault
I do this for the island, port Alberni to Esquimalt
I made it here on my own
Took my place on my throne
Seen the place I call home
Hit the ground runnin' runnin'
I see the city lights shine
Till I reach that skyline
Its the place I call mine
The city I'm loving loving
I made it here on my own
Took my place on my throne
Seen the place I call home
Hit the ground runnin' runnin'
I see the city lights shine
Till I reach that skyline
Its the place I call mine
The city I'm loving loving
