WhyKendrickJay - My City

I'm only getting started I ain't coming off the bench
Gotta go harder it's the only thing that's making sense
And Ima take this farther for the place I represent
Feeling like Vincent Carter with my arm inside the net
I'm jumping out the gym and I'm feeling like Ja Morant
Just checked the numbers I'm up guess I really am the man
OD'd on confidence never tell me that I can't
Cause I'm on top of this cement my name into the past

Don't try to tell me that I can't when I know I can
Don't try to tell me that I ain't when I am the man
Don't try to tell me how to plan when I know you playing
Ima rock out for my city I'll be legendary

Doing a hunnid out on dixie with the bass thumping
Got that Drizzy playing when I gotta face something
Every time I'm in my city got the plates jumping
Ima smack it to the gates when the bass running
Cause every track I'm on is a hit it's like this ain't nothing
Bitch I'm in the field but I'm not at Steinecker
I'll take her to the crib just like I'm a linebacker
Sitting down at Swigs tryna get a side of that
Sweet potato fries and I got the slides with it
I'm that guy from the Burg that's making all these flows
I grew up in the burbs but I'll take it to the coast
When they sleep on every verse know that that's just how it goes
Someday the world will know my words cause I'm putting in this work but
I still got a long way that I wanna go
My lines like Mr. Freeze I guess thats why my bars cold
The holy trinity is in me when I'm in the Rose
If you in my vicinity you better have some goals
Or get the fuck up out my way
Cause you just dragging me down can't have time for that today
I'm not just some rat that's been tryna join the race
When they play my track they get inspired to do great things

Don't try to tell me that I can't when I know I can
Don't try to tell me that I ain't when I am the man
Don't try to tell me how to plan when I know you playing
Ima rock out for my city I'll be legendary

I'm only getting started I ain't coming off the bench
Gotta go harder it's the only thing that's making sense
And Ima take this farther for the place I represent
Feeling like Vincent Carter with my arm inside the net
I'm jumping out the gym and I'm feeling like Ja Morant
Just checked the numbers I'm up guess I really am the man
OD'd on confidence never tell me that I can't
Cause I'm on top of this cement my name into the past

Whipping down West River Road is my therapy
I'm exercising my control when they daring me
Not too but on the low I'm just there to be
Something others are just not know they fearing me ya hearing me
You know I get the block like Ibaka I'm the greatest
She knowing how I rock so she got me on her playlist
I been on the clock and I'm tryna get the pay in
Balling for survival like the Lakers in the play in
Go all-in for the title Marc Gasol I do my dance
I just hit my shot and they all look at me like damn
I cook it in the pot and I'm serving up the flame
Me on really hot shit that's why I need my fans
This really is not nothing to me it's a walk at Woodlands park
But my life is like a movie with the sound off in the dark
But you know I keep it moving getting farther from the start
Since Faygo look at my improvement I been pouring out my heart
And soul as I grew up and I put it in the mic
And that's what I'll keep doing till the day that Ima die
One day Ima prove it and I'll make em' recognize
Until then I'll keep it moving and It's YKJ for life
That's what's up and my city know

Don't try to tell me that I can't when I know I can
Don't try to tell me that I ain't when I am the man
Ima rock out for my city I'll be legendary
Ima rock out for my city I'll be legendary
