Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
In the city..

One Friday, little Emmitt reached his limit
School was wack, he wasnt with it
His man told him, that he could make some dough
Deliverin packages, for Mac Money Joe
so he said, "Cool.. yo I need a hustle
Yo hook me up, plus I need a pistol or
a .380, a two-two or a .25
Im gonna get large kid, Im all the way live"
But he was sadly mistaken
Now hes locked up, hes doin time and hes thinkin

Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
In the city..

One Saturday, sweet Renee ran away
Couldnt take moms yellin, didnt wanna stay
Her girl told her, that she could get quick cash
Goin on dates, for Pimp Daddy Nash
She said, "Well I dont know, I gotta meet him
You say hes fly, mmm? I gotta see him"
The next thing you know shes out late nights
Makin dollars for Nash, wearin her skirts tight
Now shes a victim of the system
Man what happened to her dreams, and her ambition?

Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
In the city..

Old Mr. Fillmore, he owns a grocery store
Its a small little shop, the children call him Pop
But of course he keeps a shotgun
just for protection, cause hes got a little grandson
On Sunday, while he was there cleanin
He heard the front door slam, a lady screamin
He grabbed the shottie and walked out from the back
All he saw was two kids, wearin black ski masks
He fired, they fired, all at the same time
Now theres a funeral on Wednesay, a quarter to nine

Sights in the city got people cryin..
Sights in the city got people dyin..
In the city.. in the city.. in the city..
In the city! In the city.. in the city..
In the city.. in the city.. in the city..
In the city! In the city!

Many sights and sounds in the city, knahmsayin?

Mmm, just some of the sights and sounds, thats all
