[Verse] Like a warrior with a pen in my hand I stand on the ground and I'm surrounded by land On top of it I got my people and my band A microphone and my fans That's how I get the upper hand I just hop into the booth Write a couple bars about what I'm about to do The hook goes "Don't do it It's a trap" That's my battle cry I let it fly like a gat [Chorus] My mama told me that my city is my enemy When it gets gritty Keep a hold of your integrity Said I could move away and go and find a better scene But if you stand and fight You could be a legend Just like David I'ma make you believe When I make it They gon' put it in the paper They gon' say I'm the Goliath They gon' say I'm the Goliath [Verse 2] All my homies in the slums are the soldiers They been workin' every day like they ain't gettin' older We put our heart into this shit and it ain't gettin' colder We bout to take it all over I been in the trenches I been on the benches You been on the fences 'Cause you ain't got the senses You ain't got the patience to win We ain't got the patience to wait on you [Chorus] My mama told me that my city is my enemy When it gets gritty Keep a hold of your integrity Said I could move away and go and find a better scene But if you stand and fight You could be a legend Just like David I'ma make you believe When I make it They gon' put it in the paper They gon' say I'm the Goliath They gon' say I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath I'm the Goliath
