This City Lyrics

[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg & Madame Buttons, Charlie Wilson]
Champagne wishes
Taste like American pie ('Merican pie)
Rags to riches
You never know unless you try, ooh (Know unless you try)

[Pre-Chorus: Snoop Dogg & Madame Buttons]
Beach of fortune and the neon sky
You know all that glitters will be gold tonight
That's what they told us and they must be right
So let's ride
, they built this city for you and me, yeah

[Chorus: Snoop Dogg & Madame Buttons, with Charlie Wilson]
Snooooooop
They built this city for you and me, yeah
Snooooooop
They built this city for you and me, yeah


[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]
All day wanna play, wanna rock with her
All day, every day on the block with her
My city oh really be popping, huh?
6-4s, hip hop and locking up
We changed the lane, remained the bain
Little bit of joy with a lot of pain
Is he Snoop Lion or Doggy, mayne? (What?)
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
D-O-Dubb with the key to the city
Me and P, we go, "Doo-wa-ditty"
Rip down, put my foot down
And if I'm in your town then I got to get down
Fight nights in Vegas
Bright lights, we made it
Slayed it, slightly faded (What?)
Californicated and highly motivated

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
