Midtown (feat. John Givez)

Before Que went away for that bank shit

Before the hipsters moved in on that fake shit

I'm from Midtown without the gang politics

Jefferson to Pico, I represent for all of it

Mexicans and **** know, I been letting **** know

Screaming Cloverdale before I let the fuckin trigger go

But I let the trigger go, fuck being a criminal

Still rolling with some shiesty, hustlin' individuals

Bend the law till it almost break

Man y'all always 10 deep, **** y'all so fake

That's why I don't bring the homies to alot of my shows

Can't be responsible when they start to throwin' blows

Can't stop real **** from doing what they gotta do

My homies like to trip, talk shit, and wear alot of blue

Nowadays everybody on some different shit

Got the head up out the hood, the future's unlimited

It's on Pico everyday

Where OG stroll memory lane

Y'all **** try to never just go

When the feets right up at your door

My **** I'm from midtown

I'm from midtown

Homie I'm from midtown where they love to get down

Homie I'm from midtown

My **** I'm from midtown

Homie, I'm from midtown where they love to get down

Homie, I'm from midtown, get down

Before Nipsey bought World on Wheels

Back when the little homes on the block had no chill (what up?)

I'm from midtown, roots in that asphalt

One of many roses push they way through them cracks y'all

That's what Pac said, yeah that's what Pac said

Piercing police tried to kill me, I am not dead

Before the grace of God, there go I

That means I could've been any of the homies that died

Guided by the most high, I am so far from worthless

I survive, I am present with a purpose

If only to make you nervous

And challenge status quo, I have done my service

Ay man, ay man, ay man, ay man

When I tell you where I'm from, what you gotta say then

I suggest that you respect my pride

Anything less, the whole set gon' ride

It's on Pico everyday

Where OG stroll memory lane

Y'all **** try to never just go

When the feets right up at your door

I'm from midtown

Homie I'm from midtown where they love to get down

Homie I'm from midtown

My **** I'm from midtown

Homie I'm from midtown where they love to get down

Homie I'm from midtown, get down

Hey look, man I know, that this beat is gangster as fuck

But I'm not, and I never have been

I'm all about peace and love and unity

And this song is about my dream and how

My whole career I just wanted everyone to get along

Man I know everybody from midtown from somewhere different

We don't all get along

But if we don't get it together you all

They about take this whole shit right out from under us

So yall don't gotta fuck with them **** over there

But don't fuck with them **** over there

You know what I'm saying?

It's about being at peace with yourself

And once you're at peace with yourself

Then you can be at peace with everybody else

And that doesn't mean we gotta shake hands and hang out and shit

But we gotta stop killing each other

I'm from midtown!
