What You Know About Baltimore Lyricsby Ogun Feat. Phathead. From The Wire: Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore What You Know About Baltimore by Ogun Feat. Phathead From the city where everybody talk with their hands Forget the 9-5, most hustles revolve around grams Live for the moment we ain't working no plan And the favorite saying is "It is what it is." I mean the kids sit back and try to emulate us The cops had to regroup, yeah they ran out of cuffs So now they string us up on some cowboy wildstyle The saga continues, but meanwhile Grandma she getting closer to death Bible in hand, eyes closed clutching her chest All the hate in the air make it harder to breathe And all the cameras in the hood make it hard to believe Little man riding that five and he die for his creed Yeah they grew up so quick nobody clocking their speed But it's just us so just B-more And if you ain't feeling that yeah this song is for ya'll What you know about Baltimore [8x] Things have changed since back in the days Just like we all stubborn, we all stuck in our ways Nobody care no more Nobody got a heart nobody feel no more They move the blacks to the county on some reconstruction They say "Everywhere we go all we bring is destruction"- What? Man this city was built on our backs But we lost our history we know they hide all the facts Remember when the Arabs would come through with the fruit Saturday morning- everybody cleaning the stoop Back when we stuck together and looked out for the youth Now we over ourselves and ya'll know it's the truth But if we keep this up we gonna die like this And if you got kids they won't survive like this Look it's just us so just B-more And if you ain't feeling that yeah this song is for ya'll What you know about Baltimore [8x] (People don't realize what they about to do in this city I got friends in the game man, these politicians they tell me everything that's going on in this city man And I really feel that we're not taking advantages of all the things about to pop off In the next 3 years- I'm starting to see it on TV now about slot machines and stuff like that It's gonna be casinos man, these casinos need music, man; you understand what I'm saying? Why should they go out of town and hire a different act When they got a mess load of people right here that can give them the raw Baltimore? You know- I mean; they tearing down buildings everywhere downtown to build them condos, man They tearing down a lot of different things, like, you know- And they putting up condos- these condos are gonna be filled with people A different market of music and people that's gonna be spending money And trying to get to know our culture You understand- our Baltimore culture- you understand what I'm saying? Man; I'm not going nowhere I'm staying here A chick told me to- uh, the I'm here to say that we are gonna make it And I'm not leaving until my fingers bleed You understand?) |
