My boy and I were writing a track about the different cities we've lived in. I had (1) Los Angeles and (2) Sacramento.
[LA]
City that never wakes up from the haze
Open up the front page and the city's ablaze
From the fake plastic drastically sellin' they souls
They'd trade box office profits for callin' heaven their home
It's unknown and I really can't figure it
It's written on the walls but the kids are illiterate
No hope for them cuz nothing's really changin'
It's amazin cuz they the only ones courageous
[Sac]
City that never sleeps cuz it's on a meth trip
City where the Kings rule, got us in a death grip
Those who don't know say we're from the bay
Some of us would even claim it cuz our city's decayed
With played out scenes galore -
Cats thinkin' they cool rockin' what was cool a year before
But still these streets fill me with a sense of pride
My family lives here so here my heart resides
[and then we dropped the outkast sample "I heard it's not where you from but where you pay rent.." from ATLiens]
Please let me know what you think...
Thanks for reading...
