Tales of the City by Kuttybear Lyrics
[Hook:]
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
[Verse 1:]
My food stamps hit the card, I do 100 for 50
My pin taped to the back
Quick! ‘fore the government get me
My kids crying again, we all been starving for days
They dad left us last month, guess it was harder to stay
I got heart, Imma queen
My sons, they gone be straight
Single black mother, how cute. This may be my only break
I put the cash in the tank, bum niggas shout with no pride
I just hope I make it home
[Hook:]
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
[Verse 2:]
Get drunk and hop on Twitter, see what niggas up to
Roll up, then call my chick and probably swing the fuck through
When I hop out my whip, I pop the clip in, make sure one is the head, You never know just what these niggas up to
I got shot off Benton Ave, I almost bit the dust too
Had to fight, cause if I’m gone then who my kids look up?
And now I’m back to riding tinted, which is crazy cause police behind me
Damn
[Hook:]
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
[Verse 3:]
Curtains wide open and the blinds poking
Waiting for these meals on wheels, we depend on that shit
Man, them checks don’t help with food, how much we spent on that shit?
I’m 55, barely alive nigga, I been on that end
Crack pipes, burn marks, a bad life, I had wives. Passed, twice
They both died. Whats love to me? Lost sight, so drugs cure me til drugs kill me
Pray for me
[Hook:]
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
Ride round, my town, right now
Maybe you can see what I see, maybe you can see
