The City ft. Mr. Fritz Lyrics

Seven people, Two bedroom apartment

On Blue Hill Ave where it started

Back when the Rodney Kings caught the bing

It was making me nauseous

And all the older heads teaching me to be heartless

Wasn't old enough to cross the street with no permission

Stole from corner stores while never raising no suspicions

Urban scholar, chasing dollars, hoes got no commitments

Breaking laws hoping my dog's a loyal co-defendant

It's so relentless...

All day in the...

The City... the-the-The City

Where niggas act up and catch that buck fifty

War going on outside, run quickly

Cutthroat niggas would love to come get me...

The City... the-the-The City

Where your best friends would come and dump sixty

Leader of my class, suggest you run with me

Tryna see the light at the end? Come with me

Born in the Pan, used to chill in the Dot

With niggas riding with that 25-to-life in the drop

Lotta heart, kept my eyes out for cops, you'll never know

When they might come through with the S.W.A.T

We gotta go

Gunshots like lullabys in my eyes

Long kiss goodnight when shells taking flight

Just another victim of the system

When death hits them, they gonna turn Christian

Uplift them...

Such a shame in the...

The City... the-the-The City

Where niggas act up and catch that buck fifty

War going on outside, run quickly

Cutthroat niggas would love to come get me...

The City... the-the-The City

Where your best friends would come and dump sixty

Leader of my class, suggest you run with me

Tryna see the light at the end? Come with me

Baggiest clothes, brattiest hoes

Never had it, we was savage used to grab it and go

Six days a week was acting up, the seventh pray for the soul

Some grimey niggas in my hood, whether friends or the foes

I learned early; hold it down with all ten of my toes

When it gets hot don't wanna get caught at the edge of the stove

So many summers in the parks I still remember the smoke

Niggas that I went to school with

Beef and gets to shooting

A lot of niggas moving

And we all used to it in....

The City... the-the-The City

Where niggas act up and catch that buck fifty

War going on outside, run quickly

Cutthroat niggas would love to come get me...

The City... the-the-The City

Where your best friends would come and dump sixty

Leader of my class, suggest you run with me

Tryna see the light at the end? Come with me

The City... the-the-The City

Where niggas act up and catch that buck fifty

War going on outside, run quickly

Cutthroat niggas would love to come get me...

The City... the-the-The City

Where your best friends would come and dump sixty

Leader of my class, suggest you run with me

Tryna see the light at the end? Come with me

And now, for some violence...
