Sights In The City -Courtney Pine /Carleen Anderson /Guru
In the city
One Friday little Emmitt reached his limit
School was wack he wasn't with it
His man told him that he could make some dough
Deliverin'packages for Mac money Joe
So he said cool yo I need a hustle
Yo hook me up plus I need a pistol or
A 380a two two or a 25
I'm gonna get large kid I'm all the way live
But he was sadly mistaken
Now he's locked up he's doin'time and he's thinkin'
In the city
One Saturday sweet Renee ran away
Couldn't take moms yellin'didn't wanna stay
Her girl told her that she could get quick cash
Goin'on dates for pimp daddy Nash
She said well I don't know I gotta meet him
You say he's fly mmm I gotta see him
The next thing you know she's out late nights
Makin'dollars for Nash wearin'her skirts tight
Now she's a victim of the system
Man what happened to her dreams and her ambition
In the city
Old Mr Fillmore he owns a grocery store
But of course he keeps a shotgun
Just for protection 'cause he's got a little grandson
On Sunday while he was there cleanin'
He heard the front door slam a lady screamin'
He grabbed the shottie and walked out from the back
All he saw was two kids wearin'black ski masks
He fired they fired all at the same time
Now there's a funeral on wednesday a quarter to nine

In the city
Many sights and sounds in the city knahmsayin'
Innocent victims
The babies ain't got no future
What are we gon'do
Brothers can't make a buck
Mmm just some of the sights and sounds that's all
Guess I'm just gonna get mine
