[Intro]

City

[Chorus: Price]

Diamond in the back, sunroof the top

Lookin' like Curtis Mayfield on the block

Gangsta lean, thank the team

Season premiere, pull a seat up and watch

Restraining order, I beat up her box

Just had a dream that I beat up a cop

Two distant strangers you see on the block

This shit on the floor, who gon' come sweep and mop? Yeah

[Verse 1: Price]

Sittin' comfy at the top

Watchin' Dr. Ben, it teach me a lot

Watchin' Malcolm X, it teach me a lot

Wrap up your wounds, we bleedin' the block

Most of these women just needed a shot

Most of the killers just needed a pops

Baby, I just need your love, especially with thе—

[Chorus: Price]

Diamond in the back, sunroof the top

Lookin' like Curtis Mayfiеld on the block

Gangsta lean, thank the team

Season premiere, pull a seat up and watch

Restraining order, I beat up her twa—

Just had a dream that I beat up a cop

Two distant strangers you see on the block

This shit on the floor, who gon' come sweep and mop? Yeah

[Post-Chorus: Price]

(Uh) Uh, baby pick your poison

And stand on that Bel Biv DeVoe

Now dance on that, can't wait to get my hands on it

This wasn't luck, I planned on it

I could V.I.P your Lamb' in it

Screamin' R.I.P my mans and 'nem

We don't say please, we demandin' it, yeah

[Break]

I know what you missin'

Ooh, you so Curtis Mayfield

Look at your skin and your hair

You're so smooth, I love it

[Verse 2: Price]

I had to watch

A grown man die right in front of my eyes

Polygraph test, I'm tellin' no lies

This is my truth, I hope no one surprised

Way before my rap name, I was payin' the price

I was prayin' my cuzzos was stayin' the night

All this darkness around, gotta stay in the light

When you move Black-man-in-a-suit, with the—

[Chorus: Price]

Diamond in the back, sunroof the top

Lookin' like Curtis Mayfield on the block

Gangsta lean, thank the team

Season premiere, pull a seat up and watch

Restraining order, I beat up her twa—

Just had a dream that I beat up a cop

Two distant strangers you see on the block

This shit on the floor, who gon' come sweep and mop? Yeah

[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T]

As a lil' child runnin' wild

I was taught you gotta move on up

'Cause folk underground tend to suffer

Power to the people means cash in a duffle

Make it where the motherfuckas can't say nothin'

Super fly P-I, po pimp

Pusherman had the bread

Eddie shoulda known better, Freddie died

Either tight rope or you fall off the ledge

The makings of me push the vision

To move out the evil for people that duck all that blue talkin'

Monday to Sunday, between you, baby, and me

Wildin' free, I'm the king, I'm the truth

Ain't never put a thang on me, how 'bout you?

Keep a Miss Black America to show me why I do what I do

No one knows about a good thing

So I kick game for the mane, kung fu like Curtis

[Chorus: Price]

Diamond in the back, sunroof the top

Lookin' like Curtis Mayfield on the block

Gangsta lean, thank the team

Season premiere, pull a seat up and watch

Restraining order, I beat up her twa—

Just had a dream that I beat up a cop

Two distant strangers you see on the block

This shit on the floor, who gon' come sweep and mop? Yeah
