The City lyrics - Frank Ocean

Give me my power

Give me my power

Give me my power

Give me my power

I built this city

I got plenty concrete, plenty steel

Please give me my trees, give 'em back

Give me tourists, give me traffic

Give me noise, just give it back

Could you bring back all my police, give me order

Turn back on my lights, give me fuel and water

I think I'm begging, cause now that everything's gone

I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine

With the streets all dark, it looks like my buildings are gone

I made you the mayor of my town honey

And I'm why you are the senate representative

I gave you the key to my city

Gave you, power over, power over me

Give it to me

Give it back to me

The city belongs to me

The city is ours no more

Tell the government, please give me funding

Can't you see that I'm doing bad?

Give me floodgates, give me levees

Too much water can you push it back

How you just gon' leave me out of order

I ain't got no lights and no fuel to start up

I know I'm begging, cause now that everything's dried up

I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine

And with the streets all dark, the buildings look lost

I made you the mayor of my town honey

I'm why you are the senate representative

I gave you the key to my city, all power over, power over me

Give it to me, give it back to me

The city belongs to me

The city is ours no more

We used to be sky high

We used to be major

We used to be sky high

We used to be major, baby, major

Give it to me, give it back to me

The city mine, baby

This whole city is mine

The city is mine, honey

Give it to me, give it back to me

The city is mine, oh baby

The city is mine

The city is mine

Now give it to me

Give it back to me

The city belongs to me

The city is ours no more
