    jayz
    uhuhhuh gegegeyeah

    blackstreet jayz
    you belong to the city uhuhhuh what what
    you belong to the night uhuhhuh gegegeyeah
    in the river of darkness
    he’s a man of the night

    jayz
    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 commission remains
    niggas can cross the t’s and dots the i’s
    now that i got too popular to cop them pies
    i’m taking this rap shit serious to my demise
    jay shit’s like cake mix watch me rise
    basics in the basement wasted
    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

    blackstreet jayz
    you belong to the city the city is mine whatwhatwhat
    you belong to the night gegegeyeah uhuhhuh papau
    in the river of darkness
    he’s a man of the night the city is mine that’s right

    jayz
    y’all wanna know how i flow just seek and you find
    i’m like a brain in the voice box i speak my mind
    about to redefine rap mami either i’m
    the illest nigga doing it or these niggas is losing it
    i read a article that said i was ruining shit
    but every time i look i’m moving units in quick
    so i’ma hit y’all with these last two and split
    and leave niggas with nothing but my influenceses
    students of 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 rollie and just ice my shit
    on the spot fuck coming 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 in ’89
    and drove it up to 55th the city is mine what

    blackstreet jayz
    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 papause feel me
    he’s a man of the night yeah yeah bounce bounce

    jayz
    i snatch your girl ’cause your arm ain’t strong enough
    plus y’all don’t stay in the studio long enough
    i make hits while y’all stay hating 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 her butt
    at the bar alchoholing her up
    i represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream
    a buck fifty a shot louis the thirteenth
    jayz rocafella yo know the name
    i ain’t a player get it right i’m controlling the game
    from now until they blow holes in my frame
    i’ma stand firm holding my aim feel me
    i’m the focal point like biggie in his prime
    on the low though shhhhh the city is mine

    blackstreet jayz
    you belong to the city uhhuh yeah the city is mine
    you belong to the night ah ah the city is mine
    in the river of darkness feel me the city is mine
    he’s the man of the night the city is mine is mine is mine is mine
    you belong to the city
    you belong to the night
    in the river of darkness
    he’s the man of the night

    blackstreet
    you belong
    you belong
    in the river of darkness
    he’s the man of the night
