Ahh yeah straight from mid city Los Angeles We dedicate this to the whole city of Los Angeles Its going down we gonna let it ride [Hook] We dedicate this to the world We dedicate this to the word [Verse One] My name is 2mex I'm your favorite gangster MCs favorite non gangster MC I was raised in mid city Los Angeles loves me I barely got an ID I saw boys in the hood at the Culver theater In your back yard like party over here I used to dream I was a star like DJ quick As a teen as soon as I got my car I went to t.j. Quick With no self-respect Trying to put a hickey on a hood rat's neck Trying to say anything just to have s** Trying to look sober at the border check Pop that hip hop out pop that kroq in I was a new wave rapper before it was a trend Back when my hair was green and it stained my bed Robert smith was the king and the queen is dead Life was all about the dreams and the things you said Nothing is as it seems and it seems so sad I used to think that Mexicans and blacks were the only ones in the struggle
But now were all in trouble Ain't no pain in the world that we can't takes Sing a song to god by the way you move and shake Take it from me I've made mistakes But now I'm back from my break [Hook] [Verse Two] If you're broke but you walk around with some style Like everything is fine but the worry smile And you wanna say I love you but you don't know how And you're over 25 and still act like a child If you just got caught in a lie or two And realize you need your girlfriend more than she needs you If your rent checks due and your care note too Supposed to be at work at 9 and its 9:02 Beverley hills 90210 got you blue Hater chicks trying to break you up and your boo You go to do what you got to do to stay true Even your crew is weak and starts to boo But this is true this is no longer from me to you These are the struggles that we all go through Somebody loves you and your gonna make it through And this is true cause I'm a make it too
