Madlib – City Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

In and out city limits, it's many men and women
Broke, when they get dough, they never try to spend it
Why? Cause you know they say we livin' in a recession
Never listen to the government, you know they on a mission and
I'm here to tell you, I be in my zone, listenin'
When you travel abroad, then you can see the difference in
Economies overseas, in Italy
Every other whip is a Maserati QP
I never learned the ins and outs while livin' in the D
Or how to pay the taxes on the income I receive
Yeah, I guess that's how the politics be
We gon' have to pave the way for young O and little Treece
When Exxon stock price bubblin'
The gas price amount and the numbers is doublin'
Higher than the giraffe's ass, they 'bout to stick it to ya
They got a shovel, 'bout to dig in yo stash
That's why we on tour, and yeah
We live, we on tour and in ya
That's why we on tour, and yeah
We live, we on tour and in ya

Yeah, movin' in my Cutlass through the city limits
Roof leakin' in the bucket, yeah, we was penny pinchin'
Empty stomach, now you lookin' forward to Thanksgiving
Cold Spam, fried bologna, yeah, I forgot to mention
That's what I was raised on, jumped off in the game, on
Now it's steak and lobster like I'm out to get my stain on
Ball caps tilted, certain direction'll get you banged on
Livin' like Tony Soprano, I make the issue change the game, Lord
Gangbang, game land, dope has changed hands
Back in '01, I hit a gangster lick for eighty grand
Comparin' me to these rappers, you must be playin'
I'm a fuckin' Lincoln fire, you just a flash in the pan, goddamn
And if I wasn't rappin', I'd be still flossin'
Jumped up off that phony label, now I'm straight bossin'
Shit I'm sellin' keep the dope fiends sleepwalkin'
Push a cold nine, damn, bitch, you crossin' in my city, bitch

Yeah, we live, we on tour and in ya
That's why we on tour, and yeah
We live, we on tour and in ya
