Lyrics
This just my interpretation of the situation

Yeah, and this here's my dedication
Yeah (and like that, we gone)
What's poppin'? Dedication 4, ho (D4)
And this here's dedicated, first off
To my city (a dedication)
The lost city of New Orleans
But um, I wanna speak to my city
And I wanna let 'em know that
We can't be lost for long
And we damn sure can't be lost forever
So it's time to find ourselves
Within all that water
Within all that dirt, within all that blood
Within all that pain, within all them cries
It's time to find ourselves, New Orleans
Because memories are everything
And when I say memories are everything
I mean, it's important what you are remembered by
And trust me, I, you, we
Don't wanna be remembered as the lost city
Rather be remembered of the city that found glory after all that tragedy
Strength, yeah
Also, I built a skate park down there to get them kids off the streets
You're welcome
But um, we gotta get up, man
Fuck it, rise above it, yeah

So a lot of people ask me
What you gonna do for your city?
I be like, "Motherfucker, you ain't hear what you just said?"
What you gon' do for your city?
Motherfucker, that's my city
Therefore, I still got family members in that city, mane
What the fuck I'ma do for them?
You know what I mean?
And I do my best, trust me
And that's what the fuck I do for my city
yeah, I do this right here for my city, man
That's what the fuck I do for my city
I do me for my city
So therefore, I am remembered by my city
Ya dig?
And this is also dedicated to
Them bitch niggas
You ho niggas, you pussy niggas
You broke niggas, yeah
Fuck you with a sick dick
Pause
I can't stand you pussy-ass niggas

And this also dedicated to them bad bitches
First off, them chocolate women
I know I talk about them yellow bitches and them red bitches all the time
But um, this dedicated to them chocolate women, ya dig?
I ain't say bitches or hoes, none of that, see what I'm sayin'? Haha
Yeah
And then it's dedicated to them yellow bitches and them red bitches
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout? Uh
It's also dedicated to my niggas, my homies, yeah
They still pump that bass, yeah
Foe'nick with the dick, nigga
What you gonna do about that?
This dedicated to all my motherfuckin' niggas that's fucks this with me, pause
Been down with me since day one (damn)
Niggas that been down with me since day two
Niggas that've been down with me since today
It's love, nigga
Love
This also dedicated to the motherfuckers that helped out with this mixtape
My nigga Mike Bailey
That nigga Young Jeezy
Jae Millz
J. Cole
J. Gutter
Lil' Flow, Lil' Mouse
The beautiful Nicki Minaj
DJ Drama
My nigga Tez Poe, Mack Maine
You know what it is, Stunna Man
Whole Young Money, Cash Money, man
It's also dedicated to my skatin' niggas
Trukfit, Truk the world
5Boro, DGK
You know what it is
Supra, all that shit
Shout out to the whole skatin' world
I appreciate you all for acceptin' a real nigga
Bustin' my ass and shit, but um
Pause, I get it
We that shit, nigga, fuck wrong with you?
And this also dedicated to you
Whoever you are, wherever you are, however you are
I hope I'm remembered

D4, ho
Rest in peace, Chris Lighty
