LJ DA Joker - For My City (feat. Dez Nado & Courtney Lacy)

Lacemob I need you to gone head and put a lil fire up under this here
Cuz it's one thing you should know

I wasn't born in the bang em I was made in the bang em
Slipped out the noose when the judge tried to hang em
D tects tried to frame him hope they kept the picture
Cuz I took that shyt personally and now I'm getting richer
Can talk about my life cuz it's open to the public
Trafficking robbery extortion I done done it
Never been a thief took a couple niggas bytches
Think them niggas trill when them niggas really snitches
So I keep my circle small like a period
Stacking up my money like a pyramid
Straight to the point so you can miss me with that sucka shyt
Democratic views with finances like republicans
You ain't heard the new sophisticated gutta gutta shyt
Enlightening the minds of my niggas who still struggling
Cuz knowledge is power change is inevitable
Imma plant the seeds help you grow into a better you

One thing you should know bout me
I put on for my city
This is for my city
North west south east to the beach
I put on for my city
This is for my city

I be the first to admit I'm on some gangsta shyt
But on the real it's time to talk about some gangsta shyt
Put the guns down let's talk about the issues
Getting sick and tired of all the post sayin they miss you
Cuz you could be here and I could be here
And we can be honest cuz life ain't fair
And niggas ain't real the systgem ain't for us
But we gotta come together can't nobody do it for us
Our people died for a education we forsake
Our people died for them chances that we never take
How bout you live for your woman and your children them
How bout you put in a lil work to be a better man
I'm just saying what's on the mind of the people
And I don't know why that nigga killed Jokeisha
Niggas dying daily Women dying daily
Children dying daily Man this shyt is getting crazy

One thing you should know bout me
I put on for my city
This is for my city
North west south east to the beach
I put on for my city
This is for my city

Aye tell me dis what you know about that DUV
AL we on deck no american lee
We excel do it big and still vibe to the beat
Been rocking since come together day when it was free
I wanna send a shout to all the real we lost
Along the way we looking down and couldn't make it across
This long road paved in gold incase you don't know
Although you gone physically will never let you go
In my city gotta rep DUVAL county
Rest in peace Mob Boss Moses Dynasty
And JT southside to soutel Moncrief
OP to the beaches back to One O Tree
I'm sherwood all day but I came up out east
Ribault and Raines never stop never change
To tell the truth if you 9-0-4 salute
Play set it off somebody gone whoop in Duval

One thing you should know bout me
I put on for my city
This is for my city
North west south east to the beach
I put on for my city
This is for my city
I put on for my city
This is for my city
For my city
