And that's life in the city kid
Everbody ain't gon make it out the hood
You wanna flow like bizzy did
Just keep the faith
And it's all to the good
Your girl is cheating on you
You finna go to jail
Now you just lost your job
Your house is up for sale
Your friend just passed away
Before you said goodbye
Your son going to war
And you still don't know why
Your mum contracted aids
And right before she died
She could'ntspeak a word
But she can blink her eyes
See she was paralyzed
And you so scared to cry
You wanted to show her your strength
And tell her the lord provides
The church is taking money
Selling granny a dream
She wanna a go to heaven
Think she can get it with green
Your cousins gettin rich
Off of a triple beam
You see him loosing weight
It's started off with greens
It elevated with rocks
And now he's on the pipe
He used to ride 22"
Now cousin ride a bike
Your mama got a man
Her man he got a temper
So he beat you right up
Gets drunk and don't remember
As soon as you go to school
Your teacher asked what happened?
Your peers they know the story
You say ain't nothing cracking
Your money's runnning low
And it ain't no welfare
Remember PAC said "who in the hell cares? "
But bizzy cared for you
See I can only stay?
These are the muddy waters
That I can see and hear [repeat]
And that's life in the city kid
Everbody ain't gon make it out the hood
You wanna flow like bizzy did
Just keep the faith
And it's all to the good [repeat]
You had your 4 friends
And you all grew up together
On the corner swingin rhymes
Singing the vibe? together
Breaking bread stealing cars and staying in trouble
House partys with the homies
And then watching em rumble
But soon your friendship crumbles
As you grow up in life
You reached the age of 30
And soon forget your plight?
What if they blew up
And became the biggest group ever
I guess we'll never know
That's just the way it goes
Having highschool dreams of turning pro
Catch an injury and now the scouts? ain't around no more
Studying to be a doctor but get pregnant in school
You decided to keep your child
And now you must provide the food
At the tender age of 50
Reaching your golden years
These are the muddy waters
That I can see and I hear
Bizzy cared for you
But baby I can only stay
These are the muddy waters
That I can and I hear
And that's life in the city kid
Everbody ain't gon make it out the hood
You wanna flow like bizzy did
Just keep the faith
And it's all to the good
