| Welcome to the bay!
|
| Where the clouds can’t stay
|
| They’re chased away by the rays
|
| Blazed by the sun that sets in the west
|
| Where money travels hands like our credit card debts
|
| Like screw it, I’mma pick up those brand new kicks
|
| Charge it to the game, worry bout it when we rich
|
| Like silicon valley, where nerds get hitched
|
| To super hot wifey’s, with silicon chest
|
| Who might fund the bricks that’ll build the projects
|
| Mostly if it’s a look, that’ll increase margins
|
| And everyday we walk past those that’s starving
|
| Or trying to get a hit, the source of their problems
|
| Hey, I’m just trying do the best that I can
|
| In a hi-tech world, moving faster than grams
|
| Slanged in the Mission (district) where gunshots are numerous
|
| Drug problems are ludicrous
|
| Crack babies from uterus
|
| Hey, I know a few know what I’m talking about
|
| It’s the place we’ve grown, it’s a place called home
|
| It’s a place that we face everyday in the morn (ing)
|
| A place if I leave best believe I’ll be torn
|
| It’s the bay
|
| No matter how long I’m away
|
| I’ll be there.
|
| No matter how long I can stay
|
| I’ll be here.
|
| No matter how long I’m away
|
| I’ll be there.
|
| No matter how long I can stay
|
| I’ll be here.
|
| And it was only 1 score and 7 years ago
|
| My folks came to the bay searching for vehicles
|
| They had the drive to drive towards the scenic view
|
| Flat broke where hopes and dreams were feasible
|
| Coming from Asia, things were barely readable
|
| Burgers and fries, things were barely eatable
|
| But opportune, this place was unbelievable
|
| Inconceivable when words like chink were teachable
|
| Despite the racism, they asked what would Jesus do.
|
| And prayed for children, God willing received a few
|
| Then I arrived, survived 89'
|
| When quakes shook us up and scuffed our state of mind.
|
| I grew up to an ill-fitting suit, trying to climb
|
| From corporate to forfeit, scoring checks to rhyme
|
| And I’m now in Frisco, water surrounds my grind
|
| And men in leather chaps or chaps with gang signs
|
| The home of hyphy, where living is pricey
|
| And blood paints the streets that police just might see
|
| It’s the home I’m at, raised and born
|
| The home if I leave best believe I’ll be torn its the bay…
|
| Inhale exhale
|
| Take a breath, that’s the bay we smell
|
| Inhale exhale.
|
| Take a breath, its the place we dwell
|
| Inhale exhale.
|
| Take a breath, that’s the bay we smell
|
| Inhale exhale
|
| Take a breath, as the bay prevails. |
