There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
|
Black and did the sandals with the stripes
|
Sucks poured it up on west coast and for life
|
On my way to the store on the little homie’s bike
|
And I don’t break a sweat, I let the young niggas fight
|
I done earned my stripes, knows you might lose your life on any given night
|
Them black and white cars
|
Them dudes inside, they from streets like ours,
|
So they hop out with their guns drawn
|
Make us lay down on the front lawn
|
Nights takes palms to the holding cell, we hope we make bail body dawn.
|
That’s what really goes on,
|
Where’s Bunch and Carter, man it’s been too long
|
Geronimo, Gijagga, hope Obama free Assad and we just doing what we gotta
|
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
|
Shout out to Tooky Williams, shout out to Timmy Rogers,
|
Shout out to all the homies locked down with no fathers
|
We got a lot of problems, seen a lot of drama
|
Some believe in Jesus if you, few of you believe in karma
|
We got daughters, a couple baby mamas
|
But love can’t compete with the power of a dollar,
|
You see overseas is what they built their Impalas
|
While we’re working in these streets ’cause their job’s not promised
|
Graduate to a key, become a street scholar
|
’Cause red and blue rags are the new blue color,
|
It’s hard to swallow, make me wanna holla
|
But you came here my voice, the radio don’t bother
|
Could play the positive I give you knowledge on the whole west coast
|
There ain’t one black college
|
Wonder why we got problems without knowledge of yourself
|
Is impossible to solve em
|
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
|
The land of smog and earthquakes
|
Thought I’d be dead bout my 21st birthday
|
Dead cars, we ride dirty because the blocks hot
|
Kevlar under E-bock of Jerseys the block shots
|
When you went to a city that’s never known when to redistrict just so they can cut us out of the staple center
|
That’s less funding for schools
|
Now the kids with the guns make the rules,
|
Hunger games, battle royal, Lord of the flies
|
The city’s re-born while more of us die,
|
Gentrified, genocide, everywhere the winter’s hot
|
Watch a local business start to wonder why the kitchens rise
|
We use music as release, has a zulu wash her teeth so I do it over beats
|
The future’s in our reach, find solutions to the beef
|
Get every shooter in the streets to ride for universal beast
|
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
|
There’s two sides to my city, a red side and a blue side to my city
|
Too many died in my city, imagine if we all unified in my city
