[Apathy] |
|
It's like, basically growin up on the East |
|
Some of you know what I'm talkin about |
|
I grew up where the, summers are hotter than Lucifer's kitchen |
|
Plus nuclear fission, you do the addition |
|
Where the, winters are colder than the polar region |
|
So the changin season got our brains uneven |
|
The cause of our accents, the place we represent |
|
We don't pronounce R's like a speech impediment |
|
Our influence on hip-hop's beats is evident |
|
The first to rock raps on "Impeach the President" |
|
The East, MUCH LOVE to my West coast homies |
|
But I dedicate this song to the place that's home to me |
|
Where Latin Kings used to rock black and gold rosary |
|
Always back and forth to the city cause it was close to me |
|
Never heard around from, shit I ain't sweatin it |
|
Apathy, hands down, king of Connecticut |
|
Ah-yup, and all my tri-state neighbors |
|
Cause when the East is in the house "Oh my God," danger |
