Heart of tha City (feat. Twigg & Ready Starr)

I don't think I would've rapped if dad didn't

We had posters on the wall and newspaper ad clippins

I'm talkin' Out Tha Wood Werk Sugar Sandwhiches

Way before D-S-P's you couldn't even Datpiff 'em

Hard copies only real boom bap rhythm

Now we got oodles of flow and couple of tracks with 'em

Tryna be apart of puttin' Boise on the m ap with 'em

This is for the kids men and women

We go hard

Building the community up

That's what the unity of you and me does

Even though truthfully I'm usually buzzed

I still come through in the clutch

Feel I ain't doin' enough

They say I'm doin' too much

I turn papers to vapors 'til I'm burnin' a crutch

And I keep it positive just like the service at Dutch

How you go from starvin' artist to a permanent lunch

Is pretty simple it's just workin' a bunch

I'm an animal with O-T

Been at it since like '03

My dad is an O-G

And now days so is B

You know I keep it low key

Until I'm at the show see

Cause that's when I get noisy

Like HOW WE DOIN' BOISE

Yo we some hidden gems that's why it's the treasure valley

Diamonds in the rough and there's plenty others around me

What you came to see like you in canyon county

Is the heart of the city and all the pretty surroundings

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of me

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of Twiggy

The city of trees is where you'll find me

I've been bumpin' local rap since the 90's

Still high and mighty puffin the pine tree

Kickin back spittin tracks so smooth they're grimy Uh

And oh so gritty

The heart of the city

And I show 'em no pity

My rhymes are so witty

Every time I get spitty

And I always stay litty

Mr 2 Thumbs Twiggy Ah

We are the heart of Boise

Make it spark with our art 'til the town gets noisy

Lame emcees can't destroy me

All they do is plague my city and annoy me

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of me

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of Ready

B-O-I-S-E

(yah)

O-N-E-L-U-V

(come on)

We flow wild and free

(yeah)

Dope emcees keep movin'

(yo B)

I'm the type that never had encouragement

Enough to see what might happen

If I kept on track and

What it is that makes my life different than

Her or him

What's the purpose of a pen

If you can't write your story

Like you'd wanna take your words from them

From beginning I was taught

Once you left the cradle

Life's nothin' like a box of chocolates

What's up on the table's

All you gonna eat

When you're poor then you keep

On the heat

Or you'll be the reason that your family's on the street

I always said from beginning

As long as records are spinnin

I'mma make it a habit

To rock this mic like a savage

I'm in the land with the Griffins

We celebrate independence

And show love to our city

(yo yo yo)

While we writing these sentences

(one luv)

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of me

We the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Spread our art in the city like taggin' walls in the street

Cause we the heart of the city feel the pulse of the beat

Forever part of the city the city's a part of G-H-M
