[Intro]
Welcome to the Metro...
It's a dangerous place out there...
Spreads out for miles...
There are thousands of people...
And it's buildings are tall
[Verse 1]
This your first time in the area, ain't it?
Dream City ain't an easy place to walk the ritz
Toughest city alive, it will eat you up
Then spit you out after taking your bucks
Plus the people aren't really that friendly
Hell, half of them own expensive Bentley's
They could care less about you then they do themselves
If you're trying to find a job, then well...
A minimum wage job is all you'll get
And you're at the lowest level so prepare for disrespect
It doesn't matter how you work, it's how you kiss his a**
So prepare to lose your integrity and alot of cla**
Even then, you'll be struggling to pay them bills
The rents, they're always going uphill...
Think you reached the top, well think again
And don't expect a helping hand to lend
[Interlude]
You think that's tough
It gets even tougher in the Metro
It's ride or die out there
And you gotta do your best to survive
[Verse 2]
Gunshots everywhere, dope peddlers on the streets
Better be prepared to run with your own two feet
For if they catch up to you then well, it's over
Better pack up and move to the city of Bolder
City lifestyle is for you?, you better prove it...
Gotta hustle and bustle and you better move it...
Look tough, act tough, that's the code of the city
Ain't no time to think, your environment is gritty
Don't think about nightlife, it's overpriced
Plus you're basically tired from working day and night
It's 10 to 10 and you in hustle mode baby
Better not overwork yourself and go crazy
The metro area is unforgiving if you live there
But if you're just visiting, it'll treat you fair
There's only one rule, don't fall for the allure
Cause it might mess up your entire world
Yeah!
