a tale of 2 citiez

Lyrics

since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich, look at me my nigga, fantasize about a white picket fence, with some trees my nigga, used to want a pathfinder with some tints, that's all i need my nigga, throw some 20's on that bitch and get it rinsed, but now i see my nigga, that the worlds a lot bigger ever since, picked up the paper and they say my nigga eddie caught a body, i'm convinced, anybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps, fuck being timid in the civic, politicin' with the pushers and the pimps, i'm tryna write a story, can i get a glimpse?, yeah can i get a glimpse?, last night i had a bad dream, that i was trapped in this city, then i asked is that really such a bad thing?, they robbin' niggas on the daily, can you blame a nigga that ain't never had things?, guess not, last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light like, uh, nice watch, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, hands in the air now, hands in the air, small town nigga hollywood dreams, i know that everything that glitters ain't gold, i know that shit ain't always good as it seems, but tell me till you get it how could you know, how could you know? how could you know?, listen up i'm about to go and get rich, fuck with me my nigga, we gon' circle around the ville and hit a lick, cop some tree my nigga, and some powder, bag it up and make it flip, you gon' see my nigga, one day we gon' graduate and cop a brick, and that's the key my nigga, listen up i'm bout to go and get rich, stand back and watch if you want to nigga, me i want my pockets fat, a badder bitch, tired of seein' niggas flaunt, i wanna flaunt too nigga, watch some rollers in the fuckin' crown vic, tryna lock a nigga up, that's what they won't do nigga, wanna know a funny thing about this shit?, even if you let em' kill your dream it'll haunt you nigga, last night i had a bad dream, that i was trapped in this city, then i asked is that really such a bad thing?, i look around like do you wanna be another nigga, that ain't never had things?, guess not, last night we pulled up on a nigga at the light like, uh, nice watch, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it, hands in the air now, hands in the air, hands in the air now, hands in the air, father forgive me for my childish ways, i look outside and all the clouds are gray, i need your hands to take me, miles away, your wish is my command, my command, my command, but, before you go i've got to, warn you now, whatever goes up surely, must come down, you get your piece but no peace, won't be found, so why just take me man, take me man, take me man, your wish is my command, my command, my command
