[Far East Movement, MC Jin - For the City lyrics]
Yeah one two
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, stay right
For the city
We rep the people with honor
Put the bomb marijuana
Like my mother and father for the city
We say peace to the drama
Peace out to bad karma
'Cause peace is what I want for my city
Ain't never become a thang
Just a one love dap hug family day
Give a dollar, take two
Street hustlers do you
Nothin' comin' 'bout food when
Life is past due
Real dudes do the walking 'cause
The streets do the talking
Real mommas do both and brew
A damn good coffee
My city showed love to hucchi mamas and G's
Ordinary afternoons sunsets and palm trees
Hustle boobs to the roxy rocked it properly
Puttin' that work in for my city watch me
Rap world wide all for the west side
Throw your three fingers up at all times
For my city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
For the city live good, Stay right
For the city
I'm from the city of angels
Everybody gotta drive
So the streets is dangerous
Drive slow or the cops will get ya
And sit back while I paint this picture
It's been my home for about two decades
Folks rock T and C to their tele teles
Always rep LA on they white and blue cap
Two in the morning ain't a place
To get your booze at
And I love my block
With the dimmed out street lights
Thugs do they thing under the
Busted ass street sign
Better lock your car before it
Turns into a G-ride
Tourists taking pictures looking happy
Holding peace signs
G's catching cases just a couple blocks down
The LAPD got 'em serving beat down
We learning ghetto law but we
Had to raise hell
Now we all doing well tryna stay outta jail
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city live good, Stay right
We stay high, stay fly for the city
Live good, Stay right for the city
For the city
From the cities in the states
To cities abroad
I'm like that cool dude Benny
And city of gods
It's love when the city's at peace
Or the city's at odds
Either way I need to stay
Wherever I am within a five mile radius
From the night life, bright lights
And the craziness
Yeah, we live it up, so give it up
For-For-For What?
The urban life, far from a suburbanite
A shot of Bourbon
Twisting up the urban night
Makes things a bit easier to tackle
I'm from the orange state
Now I'm in the big apple the Hip-Hop Mecca
Bomb beats and concrete
When the time wear long Johns
And turn on heat
Yo, the west is where it's at
I'm thinking 'bout going-going back back
If I catch the 4pm to Long Beach I suppose
Catch could scoop me up right
Before the clubs close
On behalf of the Far Easty boys kings
Throw up three fingers y'all and
Make some noise for who?
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
Stay real, for real live good, Stay right
For the city we stay high, stay fly
For the city live good, stay right
For the city
