[Interlude 1]

Haha, welcome to the Bricks!

(Bricks, word)

The city where the rats'll whoop yo mothafuckin' ass, nigga

(Hahaha)

Yo, during the day, motherfuckers work out here, just like anybody else, to make ends meet, you know? (Uh-huh)

Whether it's fast food, or transportation

Sneaker store, doin' hair or straight up strippin' (Hehehe)

We gotta get the cash, gotta get the mothafuckin' dough

(Hahaha)

Brick City is an industrial city, a cold city, a heartless city

A lot of kids grow up here, man

Wantin' to be somebody, you know? (Yeah)

George Clinton called us the chocolate city (Ha)

90% black and sugarfree

Haha, lot of famous people from the Bricks baby, better do your homework and check it out you know? Haha

I love the bricks yo, you ask me, shit

On a nice day you can shine your car up, joyride through the hood, hit a cookout, pool party, whatever (Heh, word)

Straight up gettin' your swerve on, whether bitch or a nigga (Hehe)

Yeah

Daytime's the shit out here in the Bricks boy, haha

I love it (Word)

But when nighttime comes (Hehe)

The monkeys come out


[Interlude 2]

*monkey noises*

(Oh no not them!) (Yeah, we back!)

(Oh no not them!) (Yeah, we back!)

Ha...

Crackheads, hustlers

Chickens (Chickens)

Carjackers (Jackers)

Thieves, hoes (Hoes)

All these motherfuckers come out when the lights go out (Ha!)

Don't matter how large your crew is (Hah!)

Don't matter what city yo' stinkin' ass is representin' (Haaah!)

Give a fuck how much money you got, nigga

You come to the bricks, you easy prey for a motherfucker to dig in them pockets (Word!)

Yeah I see you motherfucker! Haha

*Crash* (Aaaahh!)

Oh no not them!

Yeah, we back!
