From the heart of new york city where the attitudes are shitty
Where they know wha’chu been going through but never show you pity
Where it’s grimey and it’s gritty, made me tougher, made me witty
This where even though it’s filthy still some how to us is pretty
Where my friends who really raised me never looked at me as crazy
I just hope that’chya’ll forgive me for my actions as of lately
This is for my father’s lessons, momma nurse me from a baby
For the man that’s in the mirror, though sometimes it seems he hates me
For my lady; you a goddess, you are beautiful and modest
You the princess of the people like a modern pocahontas
Through the fighting and the dramas – hope you always know i’m honest
And i vow to follow through on everything that i have promised
For my fans; you like my family, only ones who understand me
You the people that i’m thanking in my speeches at the grammys, know i try to do the most with anything this life can hand me and that everytime the chips were down i always up’d the ante
Though my childhood was painful i’m just keeping it 100
We at 99 problems drinking brews and getting blunted
There was beauty in the ugliness, that’s all i ever wanted
But without’chya’ll by my side i don’t know how i could of done it
See, ya’ll help me through the struggle, kept my head inside the huddle, showed me light was always shining at the end of every tunnel
And for that, -i am grateful – put nothing else above you
When i see you i’ma hug you, tell you to your face i love you – this is –
For my city, for my home; you’re my kingdom; you’re my throne
Without’chyu i’m all a, -lone
For my fans that stuck around, held me up when i was down;
You’re the diamonds in my – crown
For my lady; you’re my queen, greatest sight i ever seen
– give me everything i – need
For my family, for my friends – riding with me ’til the end
Without’chyu i would be – *dead*
