[Intro]
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this

[Hook]
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh

[Verse 1]
Them city streets, pray don't wake up in the city
Don't let them bright lights blind you in the city
You better keep your eyes open when you come to the city
Come to the city, oh oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't believe what you see on TV
It's just makeup, she's not that pretty
Wash it away and you'll see the beast of the city, city

[Chorus]
I don't care where you're from, don't come around here
You better be careful what you say when you're around here
It might sound crazy, but it's just another night in the city, in the city
If you're lost you'll pay the price when you're around here
You better be careful who you're with when you're around here
Trained to kill, stars are born in the heart of the city, in the city
[Verse 2]
It's another world, an underworld up in the city
He'll drag you in and spit you out up in the city
You ain't seen what I seen so won't you listen
You better be clear when you're coming to the city, city, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't believe what you see on TV
It's just makeup, she's not that pretty
Wash it away and you'll see the beast of the city, city
I don't care

[Chorus]
I don't care where you're from, don't come around here
You better be careful what you say when you're around here
It might sound crazy, but it's just another night in the city, in the city
If you're lost you'll pay the price when you're around here
You better be careful who you're with when you're around here
Trained to kill, stars are born in the heart of the city, in the city

[Post-Chorus]
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this (baby)
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this

[Hook]
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
Eh eh, eh eh, yeah, eh
[Chorus]
I don't care where you're from, don't come around here
You better be careful what you say when you're around here
It might sound crazy, but it's just another night in the city, in the city
If you're lost you'll pay the price when you're around here
You better be careful who you're with when you're around here
Trained to kill, stars are born in the heart of the city, in the city

[Outro]
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this
In the city the kids get down, stay fresh like this, this
