City Boy
Navigating the Urban Jungle: Fun Lovin' Criminals' City Boy Unveiled
Lyrics
Like Magellan we was over by my man catchin' paper.
Like Magellan we were exploring, catching money with my friend.
Frankie on the cubes. And fisty on the sabre I
Frankie using drugs, and Fisty using a sword.
Was on the mix mad drinkin that is when I found all
I was DJing and drinking heavily when I noticed locals getting involved in my business.
These locals all up in my biz. See I had to do some
Had to explain myself because the language they were using wasn't typical New York or even Spanglish.
Splainin cause the language they was playin wasn't
Continuation of the explanation due to the unfamiliar language being used.
New Yorkese. Or for that spanglish even. I walked up
People were not speaking typical New Yorkese or even Spanglish.
To the man with the largest of hands, cold briefed
Approached a man with large hands, briefed him on the plan, and then sang...
Him on the plan, turned around and sang...
Shared the plan with the man with large hands.
I'm a city boy. Baby
Expressing identity as a city boy.
Don't you ever try to play me
Warning not to deceive or manipulate.
Sometimes I act real crazy.
Acknowledging occasional erratic behavior.
But I'm a city boy. Baby
Reiteration of being a city boy.
You know they always like a story down on flatbush ave I remembered when I listened and we stole what we had. If America's a tit then New York is the nipple. So suck on this and you may learn a little... The golden rule's for fools or for men who are righteous so piay the cards you're
Reflecting on memories of Flatbush Ave, comparing America to a breast and New York to a nipple.
Dealt. And maybe you might just slide on by with no damage to your pride.
Advising to play the cards you're dealt to avoid damage to pride.
Go let ignorance be your guide.
Encouraging not to let ignorance guide actions.
I'm a city boy. Baby.
Reiteration of being a city boy.
Don't you ever try to play me.
Warning against attempting to deceive or manipulate.
Sometimes I act real crazy.
Acknowledging occasional erratic behavior.
But I'm a city boy. Baby
Reiteration of being a city boy.
