Welcome to the city where the yawns split weird
Where the bitches rock golds and them crack houses here
Where them pigs don't come and them wet smokers live
Where real beef of hash straight bullets hittin' kids
Home of them pregnant bitches pushin' two strollers
Where young kid cool with the neighborhood smoker
Grandma been sittin' on the same porch for three decades
Always bought the J's, food stamps when the check came
This the neighborhood where everybody can't come
Where when them street lights on, you hear 100 round drums
Niggas under 21 walkin' round strung
The mothafuckin' slums, also known as where I'm from
Watch how them choppers come alive in the night
Watch how them robbers come alive in the night
Watch how them killers come alive in the night
Like vampires tryna find somethin' to bite
When it's dark outside of my window (where them street lights on)
Something goes down in my hood (you know what time it is)
When it's dark outside of my window (lock your door nigga)
Something goes down in my hood (hey)
Where I'm from full moons mean them killers come out at night
That mean them vampires out lookin' for a neck to bite
Preyin' on every nigga who out thinkin' they fresh tonight
Them street sweepers come alive, somebody gettin' swept tonight
Old folks prayin' they family somewhere safe
While the weak get preyed on and treated like bait
If street lights could talk, I wonder what they'll say
Probably tip you off and tell you just go in before 8
Lot of shit start to pop off when them street lights wake up
Make sure you set the alarm and lock the back gate up
It's 'bout that time them killers start wakin' them AK's up
If you ain't somewhere safe, your best decision is to stay up
Watch how them choppers come alive in the night
Watch how them robbers come alive in the night
Watch how them killers come alive in the night
Like vampires tryna find somethin' to bite
When it's dark outside of my window (where them street lights on)
Something goes down in my hood (you know what time it is)
When it's dark outside of my window (lock your door nigga)
Something goes down in my hood (hey)
