Ill State of Mind by Neeko Lyrics
[Verse 1: Neeko]
Yeah, I'm talking B. Hop, more like a Balboa
Never been to my city, come on with me I'll show ya
Home of the Fresh Prince, jazzier than Jeff is
Back in the day Doc J rock a 76
Jersey just across the bridge, Betsy Ross, Walt Whit
Benjamin Franklin, 1776
State our independence, high as kites ever since
Saying you from Philly, you reap nothing but the benefits
Plus it's always sunny here, just in case you unaware
Citizens be bankin' in, can we get another year?
Yeah, I'm talking repeat. Heat like Hamels
Utley amazing, Charlie wrote the Manuel
Broad Street bullies, nothing's flyer than a Flyers fan
Missing all his teeth, Bobby Clarke still smiling
Rocky on the first step. heading to that top one
Yeah, that's me. We go hard where I'm from
[Hook: Deana Marie]
In Philly
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in Philly
These streets will make you feel brand new
These lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for Philly, Philly, Philly
[Verse 2: Neeko]
Back when we had Sly Bacon, oops! I mean Cunningham
Right after Jaws and right before the running man
So much wit, probably get it from the cheesesteaks
I been out all night, I just wanna sleep late
Young crowd, Olde City, tell me where the party at
Meet the girl on South Street, better rock ya party cap
Cruising down City Ave, heading to the Boulevard
Could've grabbed the El, but they told me that it wouldn't spark
This where I'm coming from, who knows where we going to
I feel like I'm in line for a ride, when I'm at Tony Luke's
We could lose all the trees but we still got The Roots
Plus we got Beans and an Eve that doesn't opt for fruit
Green blood in the tube, if we need it transfused
When the Mets come through you're gonna hear our fans boo
This is the City of the Brotherly Love
And if you've never been here, I suggest that you come to
[Hook: Deana Marie]
[Verse 3: Neeko]
Now that we got Vick, I think we need the Vet back
Tougher than a stitch on a Mitchell & Ness cap
Liberty Bell crack, Walnut, Chestnut
Ain't just a ill track, more like the best of
215 , yeah, I covered all of that
From way Back to the Future with this almanac
Illadelph, Artifax, Love Park, heart attacks
Always on the grind till I die, spilling all the facts
Yeah, the way I'm writing you'd think that I'm a titan
The way my Penn's Landing, the crowd is left standing
DE-manding, chanting "one more encore"
Who's the new kid? I never heard him before
So Reggie White with a mic, bringing hits all night
Can't afford this flow, appraise for no price
They call me Neeko, this is for my people
Ill State of Mind everywhere we go
[Hook: Deana Marie]
Yeah, I'm talking B. Hop, more like a Balboa
Never been to my city, come on with me I'll show ya
Home of the Fresh Prince, jazzier than Jeff is
