KiD Swoop - Menace to My City Lyrics

I'm from a city full of hatred/
But that shit okay/
I know that people out to get me/
I pray everyday/
I f*ck wit you exactly how you f*ck wit me/
So if you feel like I don't f*ck wit you/
Cause you don't f*ck wit me/
You went from being my brother/
Into a nigga on the street/
You must think I owe you something/
The person I owe is me/
Everything that's on my mind/
The reason I write sixteens/
They say I went Hollywood/
Well tell me what that shit mean/




Now Let's take it back to the Nose/
I been knowing G, I been knowing Mose/
I been knowing Cee/
These niggas not new to me/
I was just young and ain't go where they go/
We want the smoke/
We dont run from the smoke/
Gang in this bitch so you know it's fasho/
I got the drip, I got the flavor/
Sho'nuff I'm wit it, I been had the Glo/
It ain't no support when it come to my city/
Hope for the best when it come to my city/
They know I'm the God like I'm Charlemagne/
I guess that's the reason why they like to envy/
I'm just enjoying the moment/
Cannot let money become ya main focus/
Never get deep in yo feelings/
Cause people can change at whatever moment/
They hate you when you starving/
And they hate you when you ballin/
They hate to see you rising/
And they hate to see you falling/
He say he my cousin/
She say she my cousin/
They see something in me/
That's why they keep calling/
Get to the money/
Don't let the money get to you/
Cause you can't take it when you in coffins/
I thank the lord for my blessings/
So many times I saw my mama stressing/
I saw my daddy come up from the gutta/
Now he be sleeping in a mini mansion/
All I know is the struggle/
I'm tryna get to the riches/
All I know is the hustle/
My daddy taught me how to get it/




I'm from a city full of hatred/
But that shit okay/
I know that people out to get me/
I pray everyday/
I f*ck wit you exactly how you f*ck wit me/
So if you feel like I don't f*ck wit you/
Cause you don't f*ck wit me/
You went from being my brother/
Into a nigga on the street/
You must think I owe you something/
The person I owe is me/
Everything that's on my mind/
The reason I write sixteens/
They say I went Hollywood/
Well tell me what that shit mean/




Bodies drop in my city/
They shooting up wit no purpose/
Plenty times we been hurting/
Won't bring it back like a purchase/
Plenty times I was stealing/
I know that shit wasn't worth it/
Had to help my people out/
I work for customer service/
I was never for certain/
My mama kept me in prayer/
Remaining humble through the pain/
Cut me up like a taper/
Used to record inna living room/
And record inna basement/
Them PPO's had me steady shedding tears/
At the station/
I told my mama we gone make it/
We just gotta be patient/
She tell me it ain't paying bills/
So Im tired of waiting/
She reminiscing through the moments/
That she lost on VHS/
Ain't have no money or no food/
All she had was CPS/
VVS it got me shining/
Cause my heart is filled wit diamonds/
Got me rocking and rolling/
Like I came up wit Frankie Lymon/
It's just me and the gang/
A couple killas that's behind us/
They been sleeping/
But I bet they gone remember the Titans/




I'm from a city full of hatred/
But that shit okay/
I know that people out to get me/
I pray everyday/
I f*ck wit you exactly how you f*ck wit me/
So if you feel like I don't f*ck wit you/
Cause you don't f*ck wit me/
You went from being my brother/
Into a nigga on the street/
You must think I owe you something/
The person I owe is me/
Everything that's on my mind/
The reason I write sixteens/
They say I went Hollywood/
Well tell me what that shit mean/
