NYC Where I'm From Songtext

Yeah! [blast] {G-UNIT RADIo}

[Lloyd Bank$:]
America welcome to the land of the brave! (brave!)
America welcome to the land of the slave! (yeah!)
Where they do anything for money the consequences is the cage (uh-huh!)
Follow the path of a dummy hop a fence into they grave. (whoooo!)
You could either live to regret or benefit from your ways (uh-huh!)
The enemies get what they deserve. (yeah!) - The innocents get disgraced! (yeah!)
Everything ain't all gravy baby, niggas subject to change (uh-huh!)
And it gotta be the paper, cause niggas is actin' strange. (uh-huh!) {LLOYD BANK$! }
I wake up to my medicine, head throbbin', heart full of rage (yeah!)
Feelin' dirty (yeah!) from haze (yeah!) as strong (yeah!) as 30 grenades. (yeah!)
When it comes (yeah!) to ammunition there's 30 .30s and 'Ks. (yeah!)
And them Trays hold me down like that Du Rag that's on ya waves, bro [shot] {SHADYVILLE! }
[2 gun cocks]

Where niggas'll call ya bluff 'till you let 'em know shit is real
And material shit! - I'll make bitches head over heels,

Where it doesn't pay to live without sin don't be a angel (uh-uh!)
In a regular day just chillin' a bullet can reaarange you. [gunshot] {NON STOP! }
Where cats'll stab you the first time they get the chance too (uh-huh!)
The envious ways of a coward won't do nothing but amp you.
I'm from SouthSide/Jamaica where convicts and stars are born (that's right!)
Where you can wake up in the morning and ya brand new cars gone. (poo! poo! poo!)
Where niggas that you grew up with are speedin' and smokin' Crack [sniffle]
Play Russian Roulette with they dreams and there's no way to get 'em back. (uh-huh!)
Where the hoodrats'll surround you to concentrate on ya stack,
It's kinda hard to keep ya cool when there's constant heat on ya back. - BACK!
