Welcome 2 da Bricks
[Interlude 1]
Haha, welcome to the Bricks!
(Bricks, word)
The city where the rats'll whoop yo mothafuckin' ass, n***a
(Hahaha)
Yo, during the day, motherfuckers work out here, just like anybody else, to make ends meet, you know? (Uh-huh)
Whether it's fast food, or transportation
Sneaker store, doin' hair or straight up strippin' (Hehehe)
We gotta get the cash, gotta get the mothafuckin' dough
(Hahaha)
Brick City is an industrial city, a cold city, a heartless city
A lot of kids grow up here, man
Wantin' to be somebody, you know? (Yeah)
George Clinton called us the chocolate city (Ha)
90% black and sugarfree

I love the bricks yo, you ask me, shit
On a nice day you can shine your car up, joyride through the hood, hit a cookout, pool party, whatever (Heh, word)
Straight up gettin' your swerve on, whether bitch or a n***a (Hehe)
