Lyrics
Stop playing with me silly, tell me where's the loot
Asking for honesty about the location of valuable items.
You say you planted in the spot, tell me where's the root
Questioning the origins or fundamentals of a situation or claim.
You say you know about my city, tell me where's the truth
Seeking the truth or genuine knowledge about the city.
You say you know about my city, tell me where's the youth
Questioning awareness and concern for the youth within the city.
Tell me where's the lost, tell me who got the sauce
Inquiring about missing or hidden elements and who possesses a particular quality.
Smack me, I hit you back, apologies to my God
Reconciliation with God after responding to aggression.
I can't let you disrespect, that's where the line has been crossed
Setting boundaries against disrespect that has been crossed.
Disrespect and that's your neck, you want your life to be tossed
Warning of severe consequences for disrespecting.
Man, I, the city gon' have you turnt
The city's environment will make an individual excited or energized.
In the club, downtown, killers lurk, stealers irk
Dangerous individuals are present in the downtown club area.
To break that car window in that you left overnight
Referencing potential theft or assessing wealth in a car left overnight.
Just to see if you got cash or that new Louis merch
Curiosity about potential valuables like money or luxury merchandise.
And down at river chase mall, shootings happen to fall
Highlighting incidents of violence occurring at a specific mall.
At the summit, we love it, to show, we really could ball
Proudly displaying success and ability in a particular community.
Lee Branch, we're the youngest, yeah, that's the ones like me
Describing a particular demographic in the area: affluent and privileged youth.
The ones who privileged and rich and walk home to a feast
Contrasting the lifestyles between rich and underprivileged individuals.
But down that region stadium, you know where they gon' be
Identifying a location where restless and hungry individuals gather.
Them young boys, they be restless, you know they ready to eat
Describing the readiness of the young population to succeed.
That's why they comin' to my city, man, you comin' at necks
Explaining why people target the city for challenges or confrontations.
Disrespect me, only thing I know to do, pick a beat
Reacting aggressively when disrespected, opting for confrontation.
So what it be, a beat down or a rap decease
Presenting options for the consequences of disrespect: physical altercation or lyrical retaliation.
Either way, you decimated cause your spirit defeat
Stating the defeat of one's spirit in any scenario.
Lace em up cause you gon' get another day, G
Encouraging someone to prepare for another day and fight.
I'm just sayin' what's gon' happen if you messin' with me
Forewarning about the consequences of messing with the speaker.
It's a parade inside my city, I don't step in the hood
Expressing avoidance of the dangerous areas within the city.
I got respect for all the gunners, trust I'm knowin' what's good
Respecting the tough individuals while staying away from trouble.
I'm from the suburbs, I don't want no trouble in hood
Declaring a preference for peace and distance from trouble.
If anything, I got they back, they talkin' smack, I wish you would
Asserting support for those facing challenges while condemning verbal aggression.
Don't disrespect my city, tryna call it a dump
Rejecting derogatory labels for the city, emphasizing its positive aspects.
Man, this place where the magic happen, that should get you pumped
Promoting the city's exciting and magical aspects.
No teens on the side, but we get over the hump
Highlighting the resilience of the community in overcoming difficulties.
Assumptions is where you jump, cause you in a slumber, you slump
Warning against making assumptions as they lead to a mistaken understanding.
You fool
Labeling someone as foolish or ignorant.
