What you know about my city
Shit here it ain't sweet
Used to be all sunshine
No crime here on these streets

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)

What you know about struggle
What you know about hustling
Man we deep in these streets
Gripping that dirty Smith and Weston

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)


Mannnn
Shit real in this field
Used to call us country
Now we killing just for a meal

We hungry
Starving
That poverty that plague the nation
This city here

Is just ground breaking
But it used to be so civilized
Was a blessing in disguise
Parents thought it was paradise

That sugar tasting
That moved down from NY
Had em tweaking
From B.I.G.

To Jigga doe
Dribbling all types of snow
Cuz money had us going
This side poor

It's showing
From 13th to the Oak doe
Chestnut where crack ya shell
Midtown

Where they move blow
And set repping
In the duct and lawns
The News boy

I call it home
Motherfuckas trying to put us on
We to busy trying to get a rise
Crab minded

Our thinking shit
Won't make it
Not before I do
This small town

Don't have a clue
All this drama
That we had to brew
Made us cold hearted

Yeah that's the truth
But shit man
I just want to live
Get away from all of this

It's still home
It's all I know
Muddy waters
My timezone


What you know about my city
Shit here it ain't sweet
Used to be all sunshine
No crime here on these streets

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)

What you know about struggle
What you know about hustling
Man we deep in these streets
Gripping that dirty Smith and Weston

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)


It's crazy
Tragic
Let's move forward
Not backwards
Remember times when we was happy

But nowadays
We active
From when my homie almost lost his life
From two shots to the head doe
Skull broke

And his brain swelled
His brother shot at the same time
To the left or right
An inch doe

Amazing graces
Suit and tie
And dresses shit
Crazy thinking bout how it is

Not just in my city bruh
You step in here
Better toughen up
Word is bond

They cooking here
An the heat is on
Gas stove
With the hammer-arm

Said I wouldn't make it
Well Ryan didn't
Or a couple others
Crazy how we slay each other

No love for one another
Old heads call us dumb as hell
Steady wishing we go prevail
That's water in they wishing well

Throwing change
Want to spread the wealth
We like
Keep it to ya self

Cuz that shits just imaginary
Me first
You secondary
That's why they lay in the cemetery

Momma squeezing obituaries
Like why lord
Why they have to take my child
Hoping that this will smooth out

That there I do doubt


What you know about my city
Shit here it ain't sweet
Used to be all sunshine
No crime here on these streets

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)

What you know about struggle
What you know about hustling
Man we deep in these streets
Gripping that dirty Smith and Weston

What you know about it
(Tell me what you know)
Tell me what you know about it
(What you know, what you know)
