A Tale of 2 Citiez |
| Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich |
| Look at me my nigga |
| Fantasize about a white picket fence |
| With some trees my nigga |
| Used to want a pathfinder with some tints |
| That’s all I need my nigga |
| Throw some 20's on that bitch and get it rinsed |
| But now I see my nigga |
| That the worlds a lot bigger ever since |
| Picked up the paper and they say my nigga Eddie caught a body, I’m convinced |
| Anybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps |
| Fuck being timid in the Civic |
| Politicin' with the pushers and the pimps |
| I’m tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse? |
| Yeah can I get a glimpse? |
| Last night I had a bad dream |
| That I was trapped in this city |
| Then I asked is that really such a bad thing? |
| They robbin' niggas on the daily |
| Can you blame a nigga that ain’t never had things? |
| Guess not, last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light like |
| Uh, nice watch, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air |
| Small town nigga Hollywood dreams |
| I know that everything that glitters ain’t gold |
| I know that shit ain’t always good as it seems |
| But tell me till you get it how could you know |
| How could you know? |
| How could you know? |
| Listen up I’m about to go and get rich |
| Fuck with me my nigga |
| We gon' circle around the Ville and hit a lick |
| Cop some tree my nigga |
| And some powder, bag it up and make it flip |
| You gon' see my nigga |
| One day we gon' graduate and cop a brick |
| And that’s the key my nigga |
| Listen up I’m bout to go and get rich |
| Stand back and watch if you want to nigga |
| Me I want my pockets fat, a badder bitch |
| Tired of seein' niggas flaunt, I wanna flaunt too nigga |
| Watch some rollers in the fuckin' Crown Vic |
| Tryna lock a nigga up, that’s what they won’t do nigga |
| Wanna know a funny thing about this shit? |
| Even if you let em' kill your dream it’ll haunt you nigga |
| Last night I had a bad dream |
| That I was trapped in this city |
| Then I asked is that really such a bad thing? |
| I look around like do you wanna be another nigga, that ain’t never had things? |
| Guess not, last night we pulled up on a nigga at the light like |
| Uh, nice watch, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air |
| Hands in the air now, hands in the air |
| Father forgive me for my childish ways |
| I look outside and all the clouds are gray |
| I need your hands to take me, miles away |
| Your wish is my command, my command, my command, but |
| Before you go I’ve got to, warn you now |
| Whatever goes up surely, must come down |
| You get your piece but no peace, won’t be found |
| So why just take me man, take me man, take me man |
| Your wish is my command, my command, my command |
