Girl’s Tyme - In My City [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)

[Verse 1]
One little, two little, three little, dope fiend
Takin' a hit by the swings and they messing up the party
Looking all trashed out, drinking up the 40's
My city is crazy, But my parents told me
To never let it faze me (All right)
Just keep your head high and be strong
And stay out the trouble zone
You see reality is light
I might be a little grown but I'm sharp like a knife
So watch your back when you wanna
And when they pull up the gat jet
Its red hot in my city
I saw who get shot and no one gave him any pity
You better listen up to what I'm saying
Checkin' him up, knocking him down and faking him out
They don't be playing

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)

[Bridge 1]
Its hard to survive, tryna stay alive in my city
I often wonder, wonder, why
But we can lay there till we try

[Verse 2]
Girl, what up g, think i see a sucker watchin' me
And he looks real tacky, you better and cover up
Before he try and snatch me
You never, never know especially in the ghetto
You better learn to be a pro
Cause if you don't and try to act shaded
You might slip and get caught in the wrath of my

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)

[Bridge 2]
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me (Come on!)
Go Nina, go Ashley, go LaTavia, go Nikki
Go Kelly, go Beyoncé, go

[Verse 3]
Microphone check one, two
Mick check jigga
Tryna survive make me strive to stay alive
People tell you lies
Watch your back right, and do what you knows right
[?] lord and goodnight
I will never be fooled and follow your own rules
And watch out for the punks with the guns in the public school
A shot to the homeboys
And always remember my city makes noise

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)

[Outro]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
I live in
