In the city I play villain I can feel it ooh
In the city I play villain yeah that’s all I do

Gotta get it on my own I see the moment
I been rolling I been rolling
In the city I play villain I can feel it ooh
In the city I play villain yeah that’s all I do

Oh-yeah

Ain’t the same dude that you knew back then like
Ohh
Got em saying that they waiting for the song

Cruising hundo on the interstate
So excuse me if I get high like Mike
I play villain every single day and night
Listen when I come around
I always hold it down
I been away for so long they can’t help but run they mouth
In the city I play villain I can feel it ooh
In the city I play villain yeah that’s all I do
I’ve been chosen
Gotta get it on my own I see the moment
I been rolling I been rolling
In the city I play villain I can feel it ooh
In the city I play villain yeah that’s all I do
