Da Youngsta's - In The City lyrics

Sights in the city got people cryin' [2x]

Ayo, standin' on the corner with my crew
Some smokin' and jokes, some sippin' brew
'Cause I grew up on a place called the O
Where brothers sell blow and clock mad dough
We coasted up on the set 'cause we cruisin'
Now I'm usin' skills and tricks on chicks I'm choosin'
I got the number, but I wonder if she gammin'
I'm maintainin', and keep my home trainin'
I seen this kid I haven't seen in a long time
Asked me how I'm livin', I said everything's all fine
What's up, troop? Now we on 5-deuce
I pulled out the bongs, fucked up and got loose
'Cause that's how I chill around my way
And I'm coolin' out on a lovely day, uh

Sights in the city got people cryin' [4x]

Here we go one time, as I think back
When I could go out and didn't have to carry my gat
No niggas grittin', the young bucks can't attack
When I could go in raw without wearin' a hat
Hit the 5-deuce and go make a sneaker stop
Come out the store, put my knot in my sock
Let's rock to a party, it's a Friday
I gotta go by and pick up Tarik and Taji
Hopped the L, now we're on our way downtown
A bunch of shorties on the back of the train with mad frowns
Pass the marker so I can get a head up
We had the whole train frustrated like hiccups
It's past my curfew, I gots to get home
I'm thinkin' when I step in, my pops goin' upside my dome
That's how it was, that's how it is
When I think back, yo, I was a bad kid

Sights in the city got people cryin' [8x]

What up, buck? Here I go, time to hit the spot
Around 2 o'clock, now my block looks hot
Just about two dollars to my last name
But feel no shame, 'cause I got mad game
To get some loot, then be out on my route
Thinkin' to myself what I'm gettin' into
But see, I need new gear, so I do what I gotta do
Get down on my grind so cash can float through
A lot of mischievous things flow my mind
I see my old heads gettin' down on a dime
A pocket full of rhymes, rappin' 'bout old times
Straight down the line, watch a young buck shine
Hit the Southside, meet Tone and Destro
Grip up some hoes, now it's time to roll
Right up 51st, peace out to 4th Ward, in the plat we phat
See the ave, where you at? (where you at?)
