Today (Feb. 11), Fivio Foreign has officially unveiled one of the major collaborations he had tucked up his sleeve. The freshly released “City of Gods” track boasts appearances from mega-stars Alicia Keys and Kanye West. Anchored by some drill-inspired production, the opening lyrics represent a triumphant ode to Fivio and Keys’ home stomping grounds of New York City:
New York City, please go easy on me tonight, New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine/ Yeah, look, n***a, this is my city, welcome to the city of Gods, I’m the king of New York, I’m the n***a that’s really in charge/ Only the killings, the opps, we pick ’em apart, I give ’em my time so I give ’em my heart
New York City, please go easy on me tonight, New York City, please go easy on this heart of minе/ ‘Cause I’m losing my lover to the arms of anothеr
