[Intro: The Meters & Brother Marquis]
Bow-chih-bow-bow
City-city-city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
City-city-city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
City-city-city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
Bow-chih-bow-bow
City of boom

[Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice]
Think of my town, people can't keep quiet
The place I call home is known for the riots
When you think of ballin', you think the 'Canes
But every year we're risin' in the hip-hop game
We'll pump up the style known as bass
Uptempo and rocking always shaking the place
'Cause the Miami bass is in control
And the other style is considered old
The cars in the city customized for sound
Fifteens on the back, tweeters all around
We'll go to the park where the DJ's battle
And pump up the volume til the speakers rattle
To battle in the city it's 24 strong
If it ain't like that, take the fuck shit home
If you don't come strong it means you're doomed
Suckers can't survive in the City of Boom
[Chorus: The Meters & Brother Marquis]
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom

[Verse 2: Brother Marquis]
In the City of Boom where crack is king
Homeboy started off with a quarter key
He used to work for the big drug boys
But come to find out the pussy n***as was soft
Then the day finally came, homeboy became a man
So carefully he mastered up this plan
He shot the workers that worked from 12 to 12
Took over the block and put down for himself
Now he's rolling real hard, he's always strapped
With a nine by his side incase of a jack
Buildin' laced joints like an architect
Hitting that butter, speeding like a jet
'Cause he's on the paper chase, if caught, then buy the case
'Cause money and keys control this state
He's a Miami brother, see his Brougham and Trues?
He ain't faking shit in the City of Boom
[Chorus: The Meters & Brother Marquis]
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
There can never be an addition
There can never be an addition
There can never be an addition

[Bridge: Brother Marquis]
There can never be an addition
There can never be an addition
There can never be an addition

[Verse 3: Fresh Kid Ice & Brother Marquis]
The city is a nightmare, sometimes a dream
It could make or break you, even shatter all dreams
The vice is a movie made for the screen
Not about life if you know what I mean
'Cause a n***a will try you if you think you're bad
Beat you down, run you off the ave
It goes to show you that there ain't enough room
For a sucker motherfucker in the City of Boom
[Chorus: The Meters & Brother Marquis]
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
Bow-chih-bow-bow
In the city of boom
