[00:00.00] On My Way To Harlem (LP版) - Coolio
[00:10.44] I know a place where the trees don't grow
[00:12.97] Just another place where n**gaz live low
[00:15.45] I know a place where life is f**ked up
[00:18.02] Make a wrong move and your a** get stuck up
[00:20.57] Time ain't nothin but a frame of mind
[00:22.97] And life is like a mountain or a steep a** climb
[00:25.61] I've been lookin for a place to leave
[00:28.09] The only free place is inside of me
[00:30.57] So let's take a trip and you don't need a grip
[00:32.92] But you better be equipped 'cause it might be some sh*t
[00:35.87] African American nothin but a n**ga
[00:38.08] Had our fingers on the trigger but I pulled mine quicker
[00:40.91] I know a place where there ain't no calm and
[00:43.35] You better stay away if you're soft like Charmin
[00:45.65] South Central Los Angeles
[00:47.32] Watts and Compton
[00:48.39] A n**ga on the west coast on his way to Harlem
[01:11.42] Now it's time to step into the light
[01:13.60] Light
[01:14.06] Put up your dukes there's gonna be a fight
[01:16.16] Fight
[01:16.41] And when it's time to fight
[01:17.43] You better fight right
[01:18.60] 'Cause if it don't fight right
[01:20.13] Out goes the light
[01:21.57] Take a close look at what I'm freakin on
[01:24.18] Niggaz think I'm tweekin
[01:25.08] But I'm speakin on
[01:26.61] Subject matter data
[01:28.66] Information that I gather
[01:30.15] Through my travels
[01:31.47] 'Cause the hardest of the hard
[01:32.70] Hit hardcore killer
[01:34.30] Can't stop the slug of a nine millimeter
[01:36.58] Everybody thinks they know
[01:37.87] But they know not
[01:39.08] If they haven't caught
[01:39.92] A cap on the block
[01:41.56] So shine up your boots and pick up the pieces
[01:44.14] Grab a fresh pair of khakis
[01:45.44] With the sharp a** creases
[01:47.01] Ring the alarm here comes the storm
[01:49.49] I got a firearm on my way to Harlem
[02:12.50] I know a place where the sun don't shine
[02:14.71] Everybody is a victim of neighborhood crime
[02:17.56] I know a place where niggaz walk the line
[02:20.10] One false step and they must do time
[02:22.39] Since I'm in the same boat
[02:23.79] I must stay afloat
[02:25.05] And sing every note
[02:26.13] From the quotes that they wrote
[02:27.50] So I look into the past
[02:28.53] And walk the path of the greats
[02:29.81] So I won't make the same mistakes
[02:31.17] That sealed my ancestors fates
[02:32.40] If I had to be a slave
[02:33.60] I'd rather be in my grave
[02:35.31] If I get in how many lives could I save
[02:37.93] One two three
[02:39.11] A hundred
[02:39.74] A thousand
[02:40.35] My heart is poundin the devil keeps soundin
[02:42.83] But he don't want my money he wants my soul
[02:45.15] So I reach like a tree and like a ** I grow
[02:47.94] My stomach is full
[02:49.05] But my mind is starvin
[02:50.59] Rollin in a G ride on my way to Harlem
