A Letter To Philadelphia by Emanuel X Lyrics

{Verse 1: Emanuel X}

Actin erratic or sporadic
And catch this static/

Charismatic but you hate me
Cuz you live to be dramatic/

I spit it cinematic Cuz
I grew up on illmatic/

Cut from ill fabric
Texture idiosyncratic/

Ya music got no buzz?
We call that a light year/ (Buzz Lightyear)

Imma run this whole game
Lemme make that shit Quite clear/

You can live and die a no
Body but I’d rather Fight fear/
Laura kiss girls, don’t let em
Bi knock you, Laur (binocular) like a sight seer/

Love a hoe that’s
Down to kiss a hoe/

I can’t lie I feel the
Distance tho/

Ya past is something
I don’t need to know/

Niggas who stress
That are insecure/

Girl, You the only thing
Keepin me in this city/

If I leave and never Come back
I hope you can forgive me/

On some shit I gave this place my
Love my time and my vocals/

I’ll Be damned if I’m local Y’all
Know I deserve to be the focal/


{Chorus: RexRiot}

I don’t know why I’m still here
And I can’t leave without you/

Philadelphia raised me but
I need something new/

Girl, I got dreams out in LA and
I need them to come true/

I ain’t gonna leave you
Behind so babygirl come too/


{Verse 2: Emanuel X}

One time for the
Niggas slick hatin/

Two times for the
People at my shows/

Three times for Hoes
I’m no longer datin/
Four times for the
Niggas actin slow/

I know y’all well aware of
The art I’m creating/

But faking like y’all uninformed
Of everything that I’m making/

Mistaken as somebody that’s here
To put this city on the map/

But why have love for something That never shows that it loves you back?/

Jenny showed me more love than
This city and she from Africa/

Don’t need none after ya cuz she
Got more curves than parabolas/

She noticed I was more poetic
Than the average rapper was/

But Philly don’t? this shit not
Adding up check the algebra/

Date Queens out the country
You date hoes in ya county/

Girls minds in this city be
So small it astound me/

She’ll burn a bridge as revenge
And forget all I taught her/

But I’m the god emcee, so I
Learned to walk on water/

I’m out


{Chorus: RexRiot}

I don’t know why I’m still here
And I can’t leave without you/

Philadelphia raised me but
I need something new/

Girl, I got dreams out in LA and
I need them to come true/

I ain’t gonna leave you
Behind so babygirl come too/
