I Blongz 2 Tha City
*Scene From My Cousin Vinny*
Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci): What are you nervous about? I'm the one that's under the gun here. Trial starts tomorrow
Lisa (Marisa Tomei): You wanna know what I'm nervous about? I'll tell you what I'm nervous about! I am in the dark here with all this legal crap. I have no idea what's going on. All I know is that you're screwing up and I can't help
Lisa: I'm watching you go down in flames, and you're bringing me with you and I can't do anything about it!
[Verse 1: Sevin]
Yeah yeah
Collect my thoughts
I done sat inside plenty of jails
Feet kicked up
Ain't nobody sending me bail
Since my birth I've been cursed
Life's sinful as hell
Tried to get right but I eventually fail
The hard lessons I've learned ain't never sent me to Yale
My scholarship just follows cemeteries and cells
I've seen dead bodies stiffen with their skin turning pale
Tippin' Hen with coke resin in the end of my nails
Yeah
The pain's normal when you're born to die alone
Horrible turmoil's the only storm that I have known
So I speak for the street cuz they relate to my story
They zone out
Blowin grapes with a 40
I'm too great to ignore me
The talent means nada when ya poor
Can't afford the distribution to keep ya product in the store
I'm a product of the ghetto
Just another slave
Bound to the underground
Just like my brother's grave
[Chorus: Sevin]
I belong to the city
And I belong to the night
In the middle of darkness
I'm a man of the light
[Verse 2: Sevin]
Yeah
So many battles in my mind and I ain't figured out my soul
Dissolvin' over time and tryin' to fizzle out my glow
Trying to eat but somebody cut the middle out my bowl
Disgust about my life and kinda bitter bout my role
Everything I own is cursed mane
And this is how I know
Couple little things was given
But a big amount I stole
I done figured out that I shouldn't doubt that a niggas bout to blow
But I should still try to do my best to dig up out this hole
Yeah
Enjoying life is a project cuz I am stuck in the middle
Don't wanna live but I ain't ready to die yet
Successes now a blessin' I can barely conceive
Depression in my chest I need some therapy to breathe
Playin' tug of war with the alcoholic urges of the flesh
I win less and I lose due to burdens of distress
I done realized my life is just a ripple in a stream
And it's sad
All I ever had's a pistol and a dream
[Chorus: Sevin]
I belong to the city
And I belong to the night
In the middle of darkness
I'm a man of the light
[Verse 3: Sevin]
Yeah
Yeah yeah
I'm aware my soul is filthy but I ignore the stain
Slept in the gutter with no help
Or shelter from the pouring rain
In order to change you gotta see there's more to gain
But our sight is often blinded cuz we grieve with mortal pain
I know the game mane I got no reason to lie for
I spit this for my niggas that I'll bleed and I'll die for
The youngsters in the gutter all the seeds that I'll cry for
I love ya'll and I'll put that on the beat that I'll ride for
Immortalize my fam
Put my folks in a song
We so close and right now I need 'em most
But they gone
Lil marcus and day day
Don Deezee and Devin
Sniff the Damu
Platinum T
My nigga Kevin
Demarcus and Mike
Lil Ryan and Khalid
Young David
Lord bless my niggas dyin' in the street
I'm one of the many that might not ever see the light
So please let your peace sleep in bed with me tonight
*Scene From My Cousin Vinny*
Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci): Lisa, I don't need this. I swear to God, I do not need this right now, okay? I've got a judge that's just aching to throw me in jail. An idiot who wants to fight me for two hundred dollars. I ain't slept in five days. I got no money, ....my career, your life, our marriage, and let me see, what else can we pile on? Is there any more **** we can pile on? Is it possible?
