built this city (original version) - the diplomats lyrics

[intro: cam’ron, jim jones]
k!lla, just blaze, santana (dipset)

you already know what it is
we did it, y’all
we built this city
ya’ll on your own now (we can’t get away)
we built this city

they can’t f*ck with us
we built this city on rock
let’s get it rocking y’all (diplomats, man)
k!lla (let’s get it poppin’)
uh (juelz let’s stop f*ckin’ with these n*ggas, yea)

[chorus: starship sample, cam’ron & jim jones]
built this city
on these blocks we hustle
we built this city on rock
hunh, on rock
we built this city
turn bricks to whips, huh (huh)
we built this city on rock and roll
on rock, on rock
built this city
in the midst of the struggle
we built this city on rock
on rock
we built this city
from bottom to top
we built this city on rock and roll
through the agony, pain, diplomatic’ll reign
[?] you with me? (jim jones) come on
[verse 1: jim jones]
ayo, my dipset taliban (blaaat)
we on these streets like the wars on them streets of afghanistan
better yet, of pakistan (holla)
to america, harlem’s al qaeda
any problems i spray ya, not to startle the mayor (boom)
but in this 50*block radius, let’s get the rock and shave the sh*t
or get the glock and blaze the sh*t (boom)
b*tches get the c*ck and savor it
they say “jim jones the capo my favorite” (motherf*ckers, told you we gon’ [?]) (let’s get it right, sh*t)
’cause some of this sh*t, my city wasn’t built up over (yup)
drugs and money, some sh*t you get k!lled up over (yup)
slumped on your wheel (yea)
straight tilted over
trust me, dogs, i seen it in plural (uh*uh)
n*ggas wasted and painted and seen on the mural (that’s harlem)
in this apple of mine, it’s rotten – deal
clap up your shines, pop shots that’ll crack up your minds
and cop rocks and cook that crack up to dimes (wooo)
new york city, the capital of crime (come on)

[chorus: starship sample & cam’ron]
we built this city
from the packing and stacking
we built this city on rock
on rock
we built this city
from the scrambling and gambling
we built this city on rock and roll
on rock
built this city
from the packing and stacking
we built this city on rock
on rock
we built this city
from the scrambling and gambling, blamming the cannon, at ya face, mother
we built this city on rock and roll
(uh) santana the great, huh (uh*huh)
[verse 2: juelz santana]
yo, now once again, it’s santana the great (wooo)
i built this city on hammers and weight
gasoline, rope, bandanas, and tape
lots of fiends, lots of coke being handed away (uh)
you know the usual
shut ’em down, set up shop, how we usually do
cut ’em down, dead the block, man, we moving through
diplomats is the strongest force
on and off the court, we ball, it’s more than sports (motherf*cker, [?] in here)
(it’s santana, n*gga, (uh) (come on)
we built this city from ground zero
to spitting the pound zero, brown pistol at ya, get down, kiko
yeah, this is from the ground up, n*gga
so get your weight and your pounds up, n*gga
’cause when it’s beef, my homies mount up quicker
fit the pound much quicker, lay you down much quicker (uhh)
you never been approached by golden eagles (uh)
vultures that’ll scope and feed you
no court, just leave you (uh, uh*huh)
sh*t, you know

[chorus: starship sample & cam’ron]
we built this city
on blood sweat and tears
we built this city on rock
on rock
we built this city
we gon’ make it to the top
we built this city on rock and roll
on rock
built this city
blood sweat and tears
we built this city on rock
on rock
we built this city
blood sweat and tears through the trials and tribulations we gon’ make it through the years, c’mon
we built this city on rock and roll
k!lla, k!lla, uh
[verse 3: cam’ron]

[?] [?] [?] [?] olivia, iraq, i ran, al*qaeda
the [?] posse they don’t [?] karate (what they do?)
leave you there body in your air [?] (where you from?)
from the same town where the game got bent up (what happened?)
towers came down, prices went up (ok)
as hard as this broke, we started to choke
got my own problems, dog, parkin’ my boat (you know)
next to the crib, the bridge and the squid (uh*huh)
on a doc gettin’ my, bust my kids in a wig (in her head piece)
miss the era of the bm, bb’s (bbs)
i was ducking gmdc (c)
had that scope, aimin’ to i light ya (light ya)
seen all islands, (islands) caymans to rikers (uh*huh)
contain, complain, detain, maintain the same reign, mane, the game is for lifers
i don’t care, i put flame in the fire (fire)
