| [00:02.03] |
In my city, |
| [00:03.08] |
My city of sin, |
| [00:05.29] |
That's where it all started, |
| [00:07.46] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [00:10.27] |
In my city, |
| [00:11.71] |
My city of sin, |
| [00:13.68] |
In my city, |
| [00:15.77] |
In my city, |
| [00:17.93] |
In my city of sin, |
| [00:20.35] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [00:22.81] |
Just a young punk with a 100 bucks in my pocket, |
| [00:25.23] |
Had plans to come to LB and rocket, |
| [00:27.51] |
Our jobs pay minimum wage, |
| [00:29.47] |
thinking to myself theres got to be a better way, |
| [00:31.49] |
Grab my pen and pad and begin to write, |
| [00:33.46] |
Hone my skills and try to make em tight, |
| [00:35.65] |
Strap myself in for the bumpy flight, |
| [00:37.58] |
But my flame of fame yo it wouldn't ignite, |
| [00:39.75] |
They just didn't take me serious |
| [00:41.51] |
because I was to damn white, |
| [00:43.01] |
So I switched it up and joined a rock band, |
| [00:45.16] |
Same Big B just had a few more fans, |
| [00:47.03] |
It's true things never work out |
| [00:49.53] |
the way you want them to, |
| [00:50.72] |
Cu'z in a few years that band was through, |
| [00:52.83] |
In my city, |
| [00:55.02] |
My city of sin, |
| [00:57.15] |
That's where it all started, |
| [00:59.29] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [01:01.19] |
In my city, |
| [01:02.60] |
My city of sin, |
| [01:05.53] |
In my city, |
| [01:07.61] |
In my city, |
| [01:09.74] |
In my city of sin, |
| [01:12.40] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [01:14.83] |
Yea about my head, |
| [01:16.09] |
It broke my pride, |
| [01:17.08] |
I keep smiling but I hurt inside, |
| [01:19.33] |
I had to go back to a 9 to 5, |
| [01:21.52] |
Had to hustle late night just to get by, |
| [01:23.91] |
Drunk by day criminal by night, |
| [01:26.70] |
The end of my problems just wasn't in sight, |
| [01:28.94] |
Me and my girl had a second |
| [01:31.14] |
kid one the way but i was one step away |
| [01:33.40] |
from not having any place to stay, |
| [01:34.36] |
So i took the risk and did it big, |
| [01:35.73] |
Told god if this worked it would be my last gig, |
| [01:37.67] |
Next morning on the couch counting |
| [01:40.56] |
my cash thinking my freedom could have |
| [01:42.86] |
went so fast, |
| [01:43.61] |
I took a gasp and new i needed to |
| [01:44.80] |
get my shit together, |
| [01:48.72] |
In my city, |
| [01:51.21] |
My city of sin, |
| [01:53.33] |
That's where it all started, |
| [01:55.54] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [01:57.39] |
In my city, |
| [01:59.82] |
My city of sin, |
| [02:01.82] |
In my city, |
| [02:03.91] |
In my city, |
| [02:06.06] |
In my city of sin, |
| [02:08.50] |
That's where it all ends, |
| [02:10.74] |
As luck would have it or maybe its fate, |
| [02:12.68] |
To get another chance i wouldn't |
| [02:15.01] |
have long to wait, |
| [02:16.88] |
Got a call from a friend, |
| [02:17.87] |
Next thing you know I;m doing songs |
| [02:18.88] |
in the studio with OPM, |
| [02:20.22] |
Yea we did a few albums |
| [02:21.69] |
and i put a few bucks in my hand, |
| [02:24.00] |
And even though it didn't work out |
| [02:26.61] |
the way i thought it would, |
| [02:29.12] |
I got no regrets its all good, |
| [02:29.83] |
For the first time in my life |
| [02:30.44] |
I understand what it is to be a man, |
| [02:32.71] |
If you want something you can chase it, |
| [02:34.58] |
its your life you can live it or waste it, |
| [02:36.55] |
I might not have got a full plate, |
| [02:38.27] |
but at least i got to taste it, |
| [02:40.98] |
Not to many people will get the chance |
| [02:43.11] |
to do what i've done or see what i've seen, |
| [02:45.21] |
I got to see the other side, |
| [02:46.90] |
and i got to live my dream, |
| [02:48.25] |
I'd like to thank my friends and my family, |
| [02:51.71] |
and the Kottonmouth Kings |
| [02:53.14] |
for taking my under there wings, thank you, |
| [02:55.33] |
In my city, |
