Lyrics:

We built this city

We built this city

We built this city

We built this city on rock



We built this city

On these blocks we hustle

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

Turn bricks to whips

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city

In the mist of the struggle

On rock

We built this city

From bottom to top

We built this city on rock and roll

Through the agony pain diplomatic we reign



Jim Jones

A yo my DIPSET Taliban

We on these streets like the wars on the streets in Afghanistan better yet of Pakistan

To America, Harlem's Al Qada any problem I'll spray ya not the star or the mayor

But in this 50 block radius, lets get the rock and shave this sh** or get the glock and blaze this sh**

Bit**** get the cock and savor it

They say Jim Jones the Capo my favorite

(Fu****s. Let's get it right, sh**)

Here's some of the sh** my city wasn't built up over

Drugs, money, some sh** you'll get killed up over

Slumped on ya wheel straight tilted over

Trust me dog in seen it in plural

N****z wasted , then painted and seen on a mural

In this apple of mine is rotten, dill

Yap up ya shine, clock shot that'll crack up ya mind

Cops rocks and cook that crack up to dimes

New York City the capital of crime



We built this city

From the packin and stackin'

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

From the scramblin' and gamblin'

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city

From the packin' and stackin'

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

From the scramblin' and gamblin', blamin' the cannon at ya face mutha

We built this city on rock and roll (Santana the Great)



Juelz Santana

Now once again it's Santana the Great

I built this city of hammers and weight

Gasoline rope, bandanas and tape

Lots of fiends, lots of coke being handed away

You know the usual

Shut em' down, set up shop, how we usually do

Cut em' down, dead the block, man we movin' through

Diplomats is the strongest force

On and off the court we ball its more than sport

(Muthaf****. It's Santana n**** come on)

We built this city from ground zero the spittin' the pound zero

Brown pistol at cha get down kiko

Yeah this is from the ground up N****

So get ya weight and ya pounds up n****

Cuz' when it's beef my homies mound up quicker,

Spit the pound much quicker, lay you down much quicker

You never been approached by golden eagles

Vultures that'll scope and feed you, no corpse, just leave you

(Sh** you know)



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

We built this city

On blood, swear and tears

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

Blood sweat and tears

We built this city

Through the trials and tribulations we gon' make it through the years come on



Hell Rell

It's like what I wouldn't do for a buck

My enemies can't rest in piece Jones we shoot they funerals up

New gangsta's in the city b**** ring the alarm

All you hoes bow down kiss the ring of a don

It's about to get real big playa, humunguos

Stack money so long, till it grew fungus

We was gon' let you live unitl you through punches

Now it's got to get critical and we got to get rid of you

And we the most talked about, the most popular

We live by the code we the DIPSET Mafia

You never know who's watchin' ya

You never know who's plottin' to pop at cha

We focus like a pair of binoculars

Im bout to get gritty.

M5, CLK garage look like alphabet city

And I'm a hustla, I put cracks in communities,

Cops can't touch me, got Diplomatic Immunity

Now drop em', guaranteed a million shipped and scanned

If not back to the block, shifts and grams





Cam

If not get wit Cam

I got clips that lift the vans. Flip it fam

Sh** they can kick the can

This cat think he sling cause he gotta pinky ring

Rinky dink diamonds they don't even make ya pinky bling

(We built this city) And now I'm gon' kill the city

(We built this city) Crib for 50, yeah I'm actin' real sadity

(We built this city) Cause I collect mills in 50

(We built this city on rock) For real it's pretty and ya'll gon feel the pity



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

We built this city

On blood, swear and tears

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

Blood sweat and tears

We built this city

Through the trials and tribulations we gon' make it through the years come on



We built this city

On these blocks we hustle

We built this city on rock

On rock

We built this city

Turn bricks to whips

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city

In the mist of the struggle

On rock

We built this city

From bottom to top

We built this city on rock and roll

Through the agony pain diplomatic we reign



We built this city

We built this city on rock

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll



We built this city

We built this city on rock

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll
