Lyrics
I love you
I love you
I'm telling you
This is more than just midi information
More than a city in a nation
More like a nation within a city
This is hiphop I brought my city with me
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup yup
Richmond here’s my love letter
You know how much I love letters
That’s why I put your name on them sweaters
I wanted them to rep you how I rep you
Cause how could they neglect you
Any out of towners better respect you
Don’t talk about my city
Cause you ain’t walk the Strippy
On Main Street before Gaston made it all slippery
That flood changed everything
Look at how we bounced back
Culture at an all time high
We brought the sound back
The art back
The heart back
The history
The hardbacks
Now being rewritten
Starting with the monuments
They used to have us down bottom
Down bottom
But nowadays the future don’t look so downtrodden
Full of youth and exuberance
Working on some unison
Still a lot of issues
Too many hot pistols
Too many shitty cops and pissy politics
But still a lot of love for the people tho
How could we not acknowledge it
This is more than just midi information
More than a city in a nation
More like a nation within a city
This is hiphop I brought my city with me
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup yup
Live from Hell Block
To the cell block
Bars on bars
I could do a rail shot
You talking to the Gottwald of sidewalk
I ain’t ask for it
That’s God’s fault
You know the pedigree
FFV
Two white off a key up in ODC
Please
How you want it
The addy or the molly
We do it all
Sam Moore to the Briley’s
Where we quick to pull a hommi
White hoes at the bar with Juan Conde
I’m sorry if I sound overconfident
With the liquor in my liver so prominent
And the smell of my L so dominant
I need a house and a statue on Monument
I’m sorry if I sound overconfident
I need a house and a statue on Monument
This is more than just midi information
More than a city in a nation
More like a nation within a city
This is hiphop I brought my city with me
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup yup
This is more than just midi information
More than a city in a nation
More like a nation within a city
This is hiphop I brought my city with me
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup
Dear Richmond I love you
Yup yup
I love you
I love you
I'm telling you
