Ain't no ifs ands and maybes. All the pastors is crazy. The baby mama's lazy. The congregation seem like they suffering from constipation. And since female seem like they on a slow shit. Niggas from my hood holler we ain't bout that hoe shit. Soon as the beef jump off mix with they glock up. Then ride around rock windows and hoops and tear your block off. It's where the youngest practice prostitution. And where niggas don't give a fuck about the constitution. They say abe lincoln freed the slaves. But honestly homie we still slaves. And we don't behave. Ever since katrina my niggas ain't got sense. And they ain't got funs but they all got guns. What's up america get back in the hood. You motherfuckers put crack in the hood that's why. [Hook:]. People die in ride by in. People cry in everyday. In my city my city in my city. People die in ride by in. People cry in everyday.

Making money in the city I'm from from grinding. Until they get us tired it's after racism. Our actions is affirmative come get the affirmation. With our minds we can move mountains like the appalachians. Victims of circumstance not stopping until the whole block flooded like urkle pants. Niggas will creep up to squeeze on you with the violence. Everyday in they life like mileage. So they go out in the streets smart despite college. The wrong mind frame with the right wallet. You are listening to the heart of the city. I'm part of the greediest place you can visit. Niggas even fill the may up spray up. Then go somewhere way up till the way up. A bunch of slum dog millionaires yeah yeah. [Hook:]. People die in ride by in. People cry in everyday. In my city my city in my city. People die in ride by in. People cry in everyday.
