In my city, My city of sin, That's where it all started, That's where it all ends, In my city, My city of sin, In my city, In my city, In my city of sin, That's where it all ends, Just a young punk with a 100 bucks in my pocket, Had plans to come to LB and rocket, Our jobs pay minimum wage, thinking to myself theres got to be a better way, Grab my pen and pad and begin to write, Hone my skills and try to make em tight, Strap myself in for the bumpy flight, But my flame of fame yo it wouldn't ignite, They just didn't take me serious because I was to damn white, So I switched it up and joined a rock band, Same Big B just had a few more fans, It's true things never work out the way you want them to, Cu'z in a few years that band was through, In my city, My city of sin, That's where it all started, That's where it all ends, In my city, My city of sin, In my city, In my city, In my city of sin, That's where it all ends, Yea about my head, It broke my pride, I keep smiling but I hurt inside, I had to go back to a 9 to 5, Had to hustle late night just to get by, Drunk by day criminal by night, The end of my problems just wasn't in sight, Me and my girl had a second kid one the way but i was one step away from not having any place to stay, So i took the risk and did it big, Told god if this worked it would be my last gig, Next morning on the couch counting my cash thinking my freedom could have went so fast, I took a gasp and new i needed to get my shit together, In my city, My city of sin, That's where it all started, That's where it all ends, In my city, My city of sin, In my city, In my city, In my city of sin, That's where it all ends, As luck would have it or maybe its fate, To get another chance i wouldn't have long to wait, Got a call from a friend, Next thing you know I;m doing songs in the studio with OPM, Yea we did a few albums and i put a few bucks in my hand, And even though it didn't work out the way i thought it would, I got no regrets its all good, For the first time in my life I understand what it is to be a man, If you want something you can chase it, its your life you can live it or waste it, I might not have got a full plate, but at least i got to taste it, Not to many people will get the chance to do what i've done or see what i've seen, I got to see the other side, and i got to live my dream, I'd like to thank my friends and my family, and the Kottonmouth Kings for taking my under there wings, thank you, In my city, My city of sin, That's where it all started, That's where it all ends, In my city, My city of sin, In my city, In my city, In my city of sin, That's where it all ends,
