welcome to d block, the city of broke down dreams
with things aint always peachy keen as they seem
city of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers,
pin handlers hustlers and doped out fiends
the sun dont shine here, in this part of town
but we all got a town thatand's similar to this too
cuz every cities got a ghetto and every ghetto got a hood
take a good look around you cuz thereand's a d block near you
[jadakiss]
place where aint no body that proud, its a fuckin black cloud
that got people under the impression they can act wild
workin around though, see if you can pull a trigger on the pound yo
wild men is flappin the whole town though
lot is assumin a *****s salary
more lies than truth definatly more rumors than reality
only way you beatin a body is a technicality
other than that catch em and clinton on a gallery
the determination and dedication of disipline
listenin and catchin the ***els you was missin
and they still doin coward shit
you know the haters gonna always be heavy but the love overpowers it
somethin in the air but the older they get,
they kill you quicker over a girl than over a brick,
we dont play with the lizards, we make phrases up and say iand'm exquisite,
anytime you can pay us a visit
[chorus - eminem]
