[Verse 1:Nicki Minaj]
Once upon a time there lived the harajuku barbie
Use to watch the game in Madison Square Garden
Coliseum block on the weekend Italian
Ices from the Puerto Ricans...
She raps queen like a crown or a real poofy gown
Or the little white lady out in London
Weeds bridge far rock, southside Jamaica block
Flat-Bush Brooklyn, all of them Jamaican spots
This is my city and I be reppin my city
It's where the Giants will tackle you, call a capital Avalon
If you come to my city you might see what I mean
It's the city that never sleeps but it's the city of dreams

[Verse 2: Gudda Gudda]
What up uptown, downtown, 6th ward
7th ward, hardheads, west bank, 5th ward
3rd ward, 10th ward, reppin every damn street
Shout out the mighty nine and east 2 Mazant St
Rest in peace son he had Tyra Lan
On lockdown, it's a shame they took him out the game
I see ya CeCe, Nacho, FiFi
Snag Gang, Chuck D, Tallee, T-Streets
That's them Garetti boys, all about the fetti boy
Only think broke 'round here is the levee boy
You know my city n*gga, yeah it's real hood
Talk to Turk other day, he doin real good
Hold ya head C, hold ya head mack
Rest in peace soulja, damn we need you back
Shout out B.G., the whole Chopper City
Cash Money, Young Money, yeah we got the city

[Verse 3: Short Dawg]
Yeah, now lets welcome the Katrina victims
I wasn't there when it happen, but I seen the pictures
So anything my n*ggas need they can call Short
My arms always opened like Wal-mart
I moved to the A and promised I'ma be back
I'm still #1 in Houston like T-Mac
Check my sleeve tats, I know you see that
H with a star, syrup pourin' over green back
Yeah, and I ain't talking Ms. Buttersworth
So pass me a Styrofoam double cup at first
And I'ma pour a four up in that
And sip it till you see me movin' slow like I'm fat
This the home of the the candy painted doors on the 'lac
And voices sounding deep as baritone on the track
(Already) Yeah, we call that screwed
And if you movin' too fast we might call that rude (Houston!)
