emanuel x - a letter to philadelphia lyrics
{verse 1: emanuel x}
actin erratic or sporadic
and catch this static/
charismatic but you hate me
cuz you live to be dramatic/
i spit it cinematic cuz
i grew up on illmatic/
cut from ill fabric
texture idiosyncratic/
ya music got no buzz?
we call that a light year/ (buzz lightyear)
imma run this whole game
lemme make that sh-t quite clear/
you can live and die a no
body but i’d rather fight fear/
laura kiss girls, don’t let em
bi knock you, laur (binocular) like a sight seer/
love a hoe that’s
down to kiss a hoe/
i can’t lie i feel the
distance tho/
ya past is something
i don’t need to know/
n-ggas who stress
that are insecure/
girl, you the only thing
keepin me in this city/
if i leave and never come back
i hope you can forgive me/
on some sh-t i gave this place my
love my time and my vocals/
i’ll be d-mned if i’m local y’all
know i deserve to be the focal/
{chorus: rexriot}
i don’t know why i’m still here
and i can’t leave without you/
philadelphia raised me but
i need something new/
girl, i got dreams out in la and
i need them to come true/
i ain’t gonna leave you
behind so babygirl come too/
{verse 2: emanuel x}
one time for the
n-ggas sl!ck hatin/
two times for the
people at my shows/
three times for hoes
i’m no longer datin/
four times for the
n-ggas actin slow/
i know y’all well aware of
the art i’m creating/
but faking like y’all uninformed
of everything that i’m making/
mistaken as somebody that’s here
to put this city on the map/
but why have love for something that never shows that it loves you back?/
jenny showed me more love than
this city and she from africa/
don’t need none after ya cuz she
got more curves than parabolas/
she noticed i was more poetic
than the average rapper was/
but philly don’t? this sh-t not
adding up check the algebra/
date queens out the country
you date hoes in ya county/
girls minds in this city be
so small it astound me/
she’ll burn a bridge as revenge
and forget all i taught her/
but i’m the god emcee, so i
learned to walk on water/
i’m out
{chorus: rexriot}
i don’t know why i’m still here
and i can’t leave without you/
philadelphia raised me but
i need something new/
girl, i got dreams out in la and
i need them to come true/
i ain’t gonna leave you
behind so babygirl come too/
