Artist/Band: Far*East Movement
Lyrics for Song: For The City
Lyrics for Album: Folk Music [2006]



Check one two uh

Yeah one two

Yeah one two (One two, one two)



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, stay right



For the city

We rep the people with honor

Put the bomb marijuana

Like my mother and father



For the city

We say peace to the drama

Peace out to bad charma

Cause' peace is what I want



For my city

Ain't never but color thing

Just a one love dap hug family day

Give a dollar, take two

Street hustlers do you

Nothin' comin' bout' food when life is past due

Real dudes do the walkin'

Cause' the streets do the talkin'

Real mommas do both

And brew a damn good coffee

My city showed love

To hucchi mamas and g's

Ordinary afternoons

Sunsets and palm trees

Hustle boobs to the roxy

Rocked it properly

Puttin' that work in for my city

Watch me, rep world wide

All for the west side

Throw your three fingers up at all times



For my city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

For the city

Live good, Stay right



For the city

I'm from the city of angels

Everybody gotta' drive,

So the streets is dangerous



For the city

Drive slow or the cops will get ya'

And sit back while I paint this picture



For the city

It's been my home for about two decades

Folks rock T and C to their tele teles

Always rep LA

On they white and blue cap



Two in the morning ain't a place to get your booze at

I love my block

With the dimmed out street lights

Thugs do they thing under the busted ass street sign

Better lock your car before it turns into a G ride

Tourists takin' pictures lookin' happy holdin' peace signs

G's catching cases just a couple blocks down

The LAPD got em' serving beat down

We learning ghetto law but we had to raise hell

Now we all doin' well tryin' to stay outta' jail



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly



For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city

For the city



From the cities and the states

To cities abroad

I'm like that cool dude Benny

And city of gods

It's love when the city's at peace

Or the city's at odds

Either way I need to stay

Wherever I am within a five mile radius

From the night life, bright lights, and the craziness

Yeah, we live it up, so give it up

For-For-For-What?

The urban life, far from a suburbanite

A shot of Bur ban, twistin' up the urbanite

Makes things a bit easier to tackle

I'm from the orange state, now I'm in the big apple

The hip-hop Mecca

Bomb beats and concrete

When the time wear long johns and turn on heat

Yo, the west is where it's at

I'm thinkin' bout' going-going back-back

If I catch the 4pm to Long Beach I suppose

Catch could scoop me up right before the clubs close

On behalf of the Far Easty boys group

Throw up three fingers y'all and make some noise for who?



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right



For the city

We stay high, stay fly

For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city


About For The City

"For The City" by Far*East Movement serves as a dynamic song point into the group's signature blend of electronic dance music and traditional Chinese instrumentation. Released on their 2006 album *Folk Music*, the track exemplifies the duo's ability to fuse Western pop sensibilities with Eastern melodic structures, creating a sound that was both innovative and commercially viable in the mid-2000s. The recording features the characteristic high-energy production typical of their work during this era, utilizing driving beats and layered vocals to create an immersive atmosphere. This song reflects the broader trajectory of Far*East Movement's discography, which consistently sought to redefine the boundaries of dance-pop while maintaining a distinct cultural identity. Unlike many contemporaries who relied solely on synthesized sounds, the group integrated traditional instruments to add depth and authenticity to their tracks. "For The City" remains a notable example of their early success, showcasing the collaborative chemistry between Far East and Movement and establishing the sonic template that would define their subsequent releases, including hits like "Dance Like Michael Jackson" and "Millionaire."
