Summer in the City (Unplugged)

Lyrics

Y'all still good, how y'all doing? y'all doing good? So like i said I been in L.A. for a while, L.A. has it's good and it's bads, as anywhere does Uh gonna play a lot of good songs, and this song, is actually about something bad that happened to me in L.A. just a quick lil song just a little story for y'all I was driving alone in my car At like two a.m. getting home from the bar And as usual, there's no spots where I live So I'm forced to park a couple blocks from the crib And I'm Walking home, like halfway there A couple cars drive by, ain't no reason to stare But then the one pulls up, kinda slow like And their headlights turns in to no light The passenger seat of the car, somеone jumped out from it And in two seconds flat I had a gun to my stomach It was clеar to see what he wanted He said give me all your money, if I had some I would've done it And by this time his boy had jumped out of the back They were both searching me and threatening me and shit like that The second dude got pissed, threw my empty wallet on the ground and said ''is this all you got bitch?'' I was scared as fuck, I'm ain't frontin, cuz I know in L.A. people get shot for nothing And these dudes was real young, sixteen maybe Probably kill me just because this shit seems crazy And they wanna seem cool to they friends at school Bragging, to other kids how they smoked some fool But still I knew the odds were in my favor That they wouldn't exhibit that, behavior So I waited until they were done, they didn't use the gun They just punched me in the face and away they run They jumped into the car and they skidded off I felt like I had been shitted on But at least I was able to walk away breathing I went to my house to retire for the evening The funny thing is on the way there, I saw three different women walking their dogs I swear yo It just goes to show, anytime, anyone, anywhere, you never know I'm just glad the motherfuckers didn't take my keys I went home locked the door and drank some Bud Leezys Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty I been down, isn't it a pity? It doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people lookin' half dead Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
