Welcome to the Bay

Verse 1

Welcome to the bay!

where the clouds can't stay

they're chased away by the rays

blazed by the sun that sets in the west

where money travels hands like our credit card debts

like screw it, I'mma pick up those brand new kicks

charge it to the game, worry bout it when we rich

like silicon valley, where nerds get hitched

to super hot wifey's, with silicon chest

who might fund the bricks that'll build the projects

mostly if it's a look, that'll increase margins

and everyday we walk past those that's starving

or trying to get a hit, the source of their problems

hey, I'm just trying do the best that I can

in a hi-tech world, moving faster than grams

slanged in the Mission (district) where gunshots are numerous

drug problems are ludicrous,

crack babies from uterus,

hey, I know a few know what I'm talking about

it's the place we've grown, it's a place called home

it's a place that we face everyday in the morn (ing)

a place if I leave best believe i'll be torn

it's the bay.Chorus

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there..

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here..

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there..

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here..Verse2

And it was only 1 score and 7 years ago

my folks came to the bay searching for vehicles

they had the drive to drive towards the scenic view

flat broke where hopes and dreams were feasible

coming from Asia, things were barely readable

burgers and fries, things were barely eatable

but opportune, this place was unbelievable

inconceivable when words like chink were teachable

despite the racism, they asked what would Jesus do..

and prayed for children, God willing received a few

then I arrived, survived 89'

when quakes shook us up and scuffed our state of mind..

I grew up to an ill-fitting suit, trying to climb

from corporate to forfeit, scoring checks to rhyme

and I'm now in Frisco, water surrounds my grind

and men in leather chaps or chaps with gang signs

the home of hyphy, where living is pricey

and blood paints the streets that police just might see

it's the home I'm at, raised and born

the home if I leave best believe I'll be torn its the bay...Chorus
