My City (feat. K. Michelle)

My teacher asked me what I want to be

I stood in front of the whole class

And told I want to be a gangsta

Every day somebody's killed in these streets

Whether innocent or guilty (It's my city, ****)

And you don't have to travel to another world

'Cause there's a war zone in my city  (It's a war zone out here)

Oh, Memphis, oh, Tennessee (Memphis)

No other place will be home for me (Ever)

All the people, all the struggle

In a world full of fakes, my city makes me a real hustler

(Yeah, hustler, true hustler)

First Three 6 break up

And every day I wake up

A **** got a problem with me

I got a hunnid clips, a hunnid guns

A hood full of killers

And I dare somethin' could happen to me

See, my city at a different state

It's no honor

We used to have to make it through the year, now it's the summer

And everybody mob somethin'

Everybody rob somethin'

Everybody scrap

And everybody shot somethin'

Young **** like ISIS (Terrorists)

Killin' like they got a license

Life used to be priceless

Now it's worthless

**** goin' on missions

Ain't even worth it, homie chill (Chill)

Lil' homie, chill (Chill)

Lil' homie, don't respect the big homies no more

Drakos and choppers, no more handguns no more

Four deep, four hunnid shots

Everybody under sixteen

I remember I was gettin' bricks for the sixteen

The city changed, ****

Every day somebody's killed in these streets (Yeah)

Whether innocent or guilty (They feelin' that first 'fore they shit)

And you don't have to travel to another world

(What about all the cases **** don't fall though?)

'Cause there's a war zone in my city

Oh, Memphis, oh, Tennessee

No other place will be home for me

All the people, all the struggle (Just a whole bunch of killer, ****)

(Believe that)

In a world full of fakes, my city made me a real hustler (Hustler, ****)

You know there's rules and regulations when you king of the city

And **** comin' for the throne, some **** don't make it home

Ain't talkin' that rap shit, I'm speakin' 'bout real beef

Where big homies can get wet and **** can't get sleep

Put a ten on that ****

Fuck that, put a fifty

Make his friend do the ****

This Memphis ten, ****

Home of the poverty

Home of the robberies

I be goin' through some real shit

Like ****, don't you bother me

It's goin' down in the DM

Nah, ****, it's goin' down when I see him

Biggest record of my career

I'm becomin' a star and I'm shootin' a AR out the car

Look at your favorite rapper

Just be patient, he gon' fuck up

He a Memphis ****

Maybe I will, maybe I won't

Thuggin' in a ****

Money don't change that (No)

Fame can't change that (No)

I've done shit to **** in the streets I can't take back (Yeah, oh, oh)

So every second of my life I got a gun and I hate that

But this Memphis, if you get caught without you gon' regret that

(For real)

So fuck it

Oh, every day somebody's killed in these streets

Whether innocent or guilty

And you don't have to travel to another land

'Cause there's a war zone in my city

Oh, Memphis, oh, Tennessee

No other place will be home for me

All the people, all the struggle

In a world full of fakes, my city makes me a real hustler, yeah
