[00:08.28]
[00:20.43] I hit the weed I told myself the last time would be my last
[00:23.81] I don't trust my own n-ggas now my mind racing fast
[00:26.57] got my foot up on the gas, got a hundred on the dash
[00:29.19] if the police run up on me I aint stopping for their ass
[00:31.93] boy you know my L's dirty if they stop me I'm goin to jail surely
[00:34.92] I'll be next to my brother in the cell no bail for me
[00:38.52] man let me out send me back to bitches that smell Purdy (pretty)
[00:41.92] and all I gotta do is call once and she'll be all ready
[00:43.92] yeah buddy cant you tell im goin thru hell
[00:46.39] I don't even open my mail
[00:47.83] I'm in the shower with soap on the towel
[00:49.84] I need cleansing
[00:51.26] bad bitches all on the prowl they need Benzes
[00:53.62] p-ssy n-ggas running they mouth but we aint flinching
[00:56.28] they names aint even mentioned
[00:58.16] I got dreams bigger then your whole team
[01:00.18] You n-ggas so broke but yet somehow you seem so green
[01:02.97] I guess its envy, started with a penny now i'm getting plenty money
[01:06.45]
[01:07.98] one time for the city, yeah
[01:11.33] two times for you
[01:16.25] hey
[01:19.13] and one time for the city, hey
[01:23.70] two times for you
[01:26.98] hey
[01:27.42]
[01:28.23] Look kid, its raining outside boy
[01:29.72] f-ck an umbrella, n-ggas banging outside boy
[01:32.36] they guns dumb bell a n-gga
[01:34.16] tired of telling n-ggas thats a cease rest in peace
[01:36.26] we tired of only having just a peace
[01:38.53] and f-ck policing, they killing n-ggas whats the reason
[01:41.29] his daughter starving and she f-cking freezing
[01:43.20] so no wonder why he f-cking squeezing
[01:44.96] they out here bussin' leavin' n-ggas stuck in bleedin' on the flo'
[01:47.40] bullets wet you like a semen on a hoe
[01:50.06] breathing slow man I inhale
[01:52.14] one day you tryna make rent, next day you in jail
[01:54.58] lord knows he meant well
[01:56.07] so I take the pencil and write like a pen pal
[01:58.78] Some shit that's darker than the tints up on the windshield
[02:01.38] welcome to sinville where n-ggas on base
[02:03.89] sh-t is looking like an infield
[02:05.56] high as a Sprint bill
[02:06.91] what you think, thats the reason why this ink in my pen kills
[02:08.99] phoney n-ggas until they are extinct, b-tch I've been real
[02:12.20]

[02:33.76]
[02:34.40] The more n-ggas sayin'
[02:35.32] Cole the wrong one bringin' the city shine
[02:37.15] All he ever doin' is paintin' pictures of crime
[02:39.72] Tellin' stories of pain, paintin' pictures of dope
[02:42.41] Bitch if you listen I'm paintin' pictures of hope
[02:45.23] That boy in class embarrassed because he broke
[02:47.90] Hopin' the day he won't be the butt of somebody's jokes
[02:50.79] See me; I lived it all from dirt-poorin' and trailer
[02:53.55] Worried about my mother and never trustin' my neighbors
[02:56.32] To middle-class with a backyard and my own room
[02:58.80] To bein' the only black kid in my homeroom
[03:01.80] academically gifted and followed my own rules
[03:04.53] Was runnin' the streets hey ma I'll be home soon
[03:07.56] Was out chasin' ho's, was out hoopin'
[03:10.31] Them n-ggas wasn't ballin' but yet they was foul shootin'
[03:13.06] So meet the newest role model who don't know how to fake this sh-t
[03:16.60] Never sold a rock and look I made it bitch
[03:19.00]
[03:20.29] One time for the city, yeah
[03:25.40] two times for you
[03:29.26] hey
[03:31.27] and one time for the city, yeah
[03:36.00] and two times for you

[03:44.36] But you ain't gotta worry 'bout the thangs I do
[03:46.66] It's hard but the thought of you would ease my pain
[03:49.42] Girl I promise they gon' know our name
[03:52.18] Ain't seen you smile in awhile
[03:56.14] But I been dreamin' 'bout you
[03:59.04]
