[00:11.74] Where the people cold and they show no pity
[00:14.42] Better have a team or get stuck by committee
[00:17.11] Yeh I got a job but the pay is real shitty
[00:19.86] Beggers holdin' signs walk the street so silly
[00:22.56] We all got scams for real some hold millis
[00:25.25] Dollars to they name, some gettin' none some sons
[00:27.91] Niggas knock just to have little fun
[00:29.77] Some daughters bed hop just to have a little funds
[00:32.52] We all eat good if the child support comes
[00:35.29] First of the month cheques hit we like kings
[00:37.93] Servin' up fiends summertime ice cream
[00:39.73] Trucks bring joy back, to the lives of the kids momma on crack
[00:41.57] Daddy's gone and I doubt he'll be comin' back

[01:08.61] Welcome to the heart of the city
[01:09.57] [Verse 2:]
[01:10.41] Ain't nuthin' like the night life, all the clubs pack they lines tight
[01:14.12] And charge twenty at the door, 'bout twelve a.m. about ten dollars more
[01:16.84] It's all worth the while once you hit the dancefloor
[01:20.44] [?] while you lookin' at the whores
[01:23.11] Damn she's so fine passin' by heaven's doors
[01:24.95] Gettin' out the cars these days they roll coors
[01:27.78] Where else traffic stop green lights just because
[01:30.43] Speakin' wid familiar faces, drinkin' Henny straight no chasers

[01:36.75] Goin' home no light city school teachers never had order
[01:40.39] Appreciate what the block taught ya
[01:43.02] Everyday the same niggas holdin' down the same street corners
