[Intro]
*Supposed to mimic a radio station playing screw jams*
My City
[Verse 1]
Now get down with a boy from the h town
Too much on my plate so of course no need for f**ing around
I'm the ch as eo n
Never gonna lose and forever gonna win
Do ya feel me now?
I'm just tryna switch up the style
Haven't feel this sort of throwback in a long while
This the type of beat that makes you want to sit back relax and find someone to dial that makes you smile
Now see I always wanted to be from Californi a
2 pac and dr dre was all my fathers caddy would play
Made you feel like you were in that c o m p t o n
But I'm a Texas boy from that h o u s t o n
Home of the Houston Rockets champions first in 94
Same year I was born
The next we got one more
Maybe one day the Texans can take us to the super bowl
But follow me follow me follow me as I take you on a tour
You see not everyone gets the luxury to explore
The rich are the poor and the poor are the rich
At least at certain times when things start to switch
Cuz what's life without love especially from your people
And that one girl who is ready to drop down and get her eagle
On and on till the break of dawn
Play this and she'll be saying ooh that's my song
[Chorus]
Let me take you to my city
Where you know that you can get it
We got women we got screw
We got everything there is to do
Now let me hear it from the north side
Now let me hear it from the east side
Now let me hear it from the west side
Now let me hear it from the south side
So let me welcome you to my dirty dirty south
Dirty Dirty:
[Verse 2]
October 16 1994
2:42 am
My mothers son was born
My fathers too I looked just like him
Little money a one bedroom apartment was my crib to live in
Can't tell you it all in a 16
Or a 32
Only way is if you get to know me and I get to know you
Put yourself in my shoes like eminems beautiful
My first favorite artist to help me out in my own crucible
Cuz I've been tested all my life
Sometimes I wonder if I turned out alright
I was the one to wipe my mommas tears at night
Only 4 but matured to 21 year old heights
She had me at 17 you do the math
When she arrived life was on track
And so was his a bit
Until the script went and flipped
After his homeboy got shot
So he changed up the plot
However it takes time to escape your previous ways
Especially if you're lost in the life of yesterday
See I could see that both of them weren't ready for the level of responsibility
But this baby ain't gon' raise itself so they said its up to you and me
All my life it's been a motel room
A bu*terfly waiting to come out its cocoon
Trapped by society but they saw me
As the new free that'll achieve dreams
They told me that their limitations won't limit me
And that through thick and thin they'll live by me
They separated divorce the new course
Happiness came from music the new sources
Only about 8 still a lot more to take
The trials of love and if I'll make it to see the next birthday cake
Now I hate the feeling of feeling comfortable
Since it takes away my mentality of being untouchable
Usually a lone wolf but like ll I need love
Almost 21 yet I'm thinking about my future one
And all the times I want to give em
All the memories I was missing
It's no wonder I'm oh so cryptic
But I can see it now like a vision
