lyrics

Philly I missed you I really had tissues crying
It is official this ain't the end of my time
In the City of Brotherly Love
I really came back but never thought that I was
Philly that city where I first started rapping
2004 Open Mic- Sharon Baptist
18 years later still sharing with passion
Still Christ centered and aware of distractions
Fighting urges to rap bout how I rhyme greatest
I left Philly for a year it was a hiatus
Now I'm back in the city that is my favorite
I'm still stocky I know that God still got me
I moved far away was living out in Milwaukee
When I left Philly I was feeling real salty
Now I'm running up the steps like the film Rocky
I couldn't envision this but this is God's picture
Was with the Bucks but the new squad Sixers
Led by our head coach that's Doc Rivers
Players hit the weight room- hope they got bigger
I'm trying to be a top lifter and hot spitter
With top notch bars sicker than rotten liver
But I fall short cuz I'm a flawed sinner
But God cleans up my mess like a dog sitter

Second Verse
I'm in the realest state PA is the realest state
Moved back in the home I own now that is real estate
Philly that city where there's burdens on us all
Philly that city where there's murals on the wall
Philly that city where they fervent bout they ball
Philly that city where the church is growing yall
Some say the city too gritty too filthy
So many killings and spots that's too risky
Love joking with my bros being too silly
Still say "bol' and "cannon" slang too Phillly!
Philly that city with the Liberty Bell
And all that litter bringing in a different smell
God's message trying to deliver it well
Sharing the gospel I spit and I tell
My flesh I been fighting like Wrestle Mania
I'm happy to be back now in Pennsylvania
My whole life feel like I been overlooked
I'm back in Philly now catch me out in Overbrook

HOOK (Repeat 2x)
The 4-1-2 to the 2-1-5
And the 2-1-5 to the 4-1-4
And the 4-1-4 to the 2-1-5
I rap for Christ He's why I'm alive
