[Intro:]

I'd like to welcome you

To a place we all know

To a place we all been

You either love it or you hate it



[Verse 1:]

I'd like to welcome y'all, to the heart of the city

Where the people cold and they show no pity

Better have a team or get stuck by committee

Yeh I got a job but the pay is real shitty

Beggers holdin' signs walk the street so silly

We all got scams for real some hold millis

Dollars to they name, some gettin' none some sons

Niggas knock just to have little fun

Some daughters bed hop just to have a little funds

We all eat good if the child support comes

First of the month cheques hit we like kings

Servin' up fiends summertime ice cream

Trucks bring joy back, to the lives of the kids momma on crack

Daddy's gone and I doubt he'll be comin' back

Hit the lotto get money don't know how to act

And it goes on



[HOOK:]

Time keep slippin' and time keep passin'

And the cops keep harassin' and the streets still laughin'

No place to turn when you livin' on the ave and

Welcome to the heart of the city

Where the chief pull choke, cats go for broke

We all got secrets and the land use dope

They shut down the block for the likes of the po'

Welcome to the heart of the city



[Verse 2:]

Ain't nuthin' like the night life, all the clubs pack they lines tight

and charge twenty at the door, 'bout twelve a.m. about ten dollars more

It's all worth the while once you hit the dancefloor

[?] while you lookin' at the whores

Damn she's so fine passin' by heaven's doors

Gettin' out the cars these days they roll coors

Where else traffic stop green lights just because

Speakin' wid familiar faces, drinkin' Henny straight no chasers

Alcohol lost its flavor, down Corona like it's tap water

Goin' home no light city school teachers never had order

Appreciate what the block taught ya

Everyday the same niggas holdin' down the same street corners

And they swear she lookin' good on her

If you ain't fam, then you labled as another foreigner



[HOOK]
