Lyrics

[00:12.58] 10 a.m. it's west side bitch
[00:15.21] She see the glasses, so obvious
[00:17.39] Run from home, after tonight we up out of here
[00:20.21] Don't go home cause they just ran me up out of there
[00:23.14] All of those drunken nights then fuckin' every night
[00:25.90] She run her mouth, but can't eat right
[00:28.34] Don't read between the line and forgot how to be white
[00:31.77] She smelled the line, baby you know you don't need white
[00:34.33] Now look what we did now, the cops behind us
[00:37.09] Ran that red light, did you have to be mindless?
[00:39.68] SMH, we all know that cocaine killed Abel
[00:43.94] From the scholar letters devour this
[00:45.69] She stepped into hell, cause winter got cold
[00:48.63] Don't look in her eyes, you might see straight to her soul
[00:51.38] Don't say yes to that good, cause you'll never know
[00:54.44] Cause we lost in the city where sin is no biggy
[00:59.87] I'm here with open arms and I gotta
[01:02.49] Here is where her heart belongs
[01:05.16] Her heart belongs to me
[01:08.60] Here is where her heart
[01:11.04] I'm here and I won't go
[01:12.92] Without her, this is where her heart belongs
[01:16.48] It should be here with me
[01:20.04] Here is where her heart
[01:23.04] I beg for mercy today
[01:25.79] They won't take me away
[01:28.29] Take me away from you
[01:31.48] Don't know what I would do
[01:34.17] Don't let us die in vain
[01:36.79] Don't let them see our pain
[01:40.04] Wash these demons away
[01:42.85] Wash these demons away
[01:50.98] You are all unwelcome to Sin City
[01:54.66] Yet the population still increases its density
[01:59.48] And that increases its intensity
[02:03.10] Which increases the propensity
[02:07.60] To complicate your simplicity
[02:11.23] No matter your ethnicity
[02:14.29] All for the sake of publicity, in this city
[02:19.85] Huh, bad bitches with ass shots
[02:22.22] Use a house as a stash spot
[02:26.22] Lexus coupe with the rag-top
[02:28.22] I'm in the loop, warm tie like a ascot
[02:31.16] I used to run with the have-nots
[02:34.04] Kept the ave hot just so we could have knots
[02:36.79] A lot of niggaz see they dreams in a glass pot
[02:39.47] Until the judge throw you in that box and watch your ass rot
[02:43.35] We broke all the commandments
[02:46.60] Authentic, I'm hand-stitched
[02:49.34] Come spend a day in my Hamlet
[02:51.27] My city lost, some say it's Atlantis
[02:54.21] I went to Cannes with a tan bitch, Francis
[02:56.77] She rode the broom on the beach, that's a sand witch
[03:00.02] So I ate her like it, haters hate to like it
[03:02.65] Sex, drugs, and playin' dices, those are our favorite vices
[03:05.52] But this life'll take a toll on ya
[03:09.09] Well I guess you gotta pay the prices
[03:11.85] I know who Christ is
[03:13.41] And he never hung with the Saints it makes no sense to save the righteous
[03:16.91] By the age ten, we were caged in
[03:20.35] Now they raise men in the state pen
[03:23.04] Fake friends, forgive 'em for they sins
[03:26.10] God bless the city, amen
[03:29.89] I'm here with open arms and I gotta
[03:32.88] Here is where her heart belongs
[03:35.63] Her heart belongs to me
[03:38.88] Here is where her heart
[03:41.32] I'm here and I won't go
[03:43.38] Without her, this is where her heart belongs
[03:47.07] It should be here with me
[03:52.20] And now I'm one of the residents
[03:54.20] They walk with none of the repercuss', but all of the decadence
[03:58.13] And all the fuckin' debauchery
[04:00.80] Adult film star, somebody's fuckin' watchin' me
[04:03.62] I always feel like, I'm almost feel like
[04:06.36] Cause I could feel it in the air tonight
[04:08.62] I did some wrongs I wouldn't dare to right
[04:11.62] And wrote some songs I wouldn't dare recite
[04:14.74] But I am willing to share tonight
[04:17.30] In the city that is as unfair as life
[04:21.18]
[00:00.009]
[99:00.000]
