(Ain`t love in the heart of the city) --> Bobby Bland
[ Verse 1 - Larry-O ]
Gun claps erupt from the back alley way
The heat in the streets stress a nigga every day
Cops raid blocks like scenes from Red Dawn
The American Dream in the ghetto is more gall
I knew this kid cold out of luck
No loot or nothing, you know that other fuck-up
Well, if I ain`t got, I`ma take
I got a burner in your face, son, ain`t no escape
from the mental prison that I`m in
I wanna break out but I`m committin mad sins
We got the city under siege, how
Gang-land style, juveniles running wild
Niggaz come, niggaz go, niggaz die
My man could`ve been a ball-player but he gettin` high
It`s dangerous out here, son
Cos yo, the average motherfucker`s living under the gun
[ Verse 2 - Larry-O ]
My peoples in the streets is dying, son
Coke is a commodity and so is the gun
It`s time to cultivate a plan that`s guaranteed to hit
Flips some cook-up, stack a 100 thou and quit
My 9 to 5 ain`t saying shit
Niggaz` joints are too mean and hoes are too thick
So now I gotta locate my click
And rise to the top till the cream turn thick
I`m working with rocks, lives are stopped
Rebels breaking pebbles and mobilizing all blocks
Undercover Rockefellas get paid
Dope lines be long, yo, the loot be minute-made
It`s ill when you think about the plot
When playing in the game is designed to get us knocked
What`s my attitude when I see a jake drop
Buck, buck, buck and you don`t stop
[ Verse 3 - Larry-O ]
No turning back now, progression can`t stop
It`s like everytime I look up my neck be on the chopping block
A kid got murdered for a ring
Beef throughout the street be like a everyday thing
A warzone with gunfire sounds
We gunnin each other down like motherfucking killer clowns
Living conditions is out of order
A shorty slaughtered her daughter cos she couldn`t support her
Yo, niggaz be making big bets
Clowns with short paper get killed for big debts
And little shorties on cellular phones
Knots with rubber-bands, rims dipped in chrome
How long does the good shit last?
Niggaz that die young be niggaz that live fast
I dropped a gem and hit you off with the deal
I only live one way and that`s motherfucking real
