The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Check one two uh

Yeah one two

Yeah one two (One two, one two)

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, stay right

For the city

We rep the people with honor

Put the bomb marijuana

Like my mother and father

For the city

We say peace to the drama

Peace out to bad charma

Cause' peace is what I want

For my city

Ain't never but color thing

Just a one love dap hug family day

Give a dollar, take two

Street hustlers do you

Nothin' comin' bout' food when life is past due

Real dudes do the walkin'

Cause' the streets do the talkin'

Real mommas do both

And brew a damn good coffee

My city showed love

To hucchi mamas and g's

Ordinary afternoons

Sunsets and palm trees

Hustle boobs to the roxy

Rocked it properly

Puttin' that work in for my city

Watch me, rep world wide

All for the west side

Throw your three fingers up at all times

For my city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

For the city

Live good, Stay right

For the city

I'm from the city of angels

Everybody gotta' drive,

So the streets is dangerous

For the city

Drive slow or the cops will get ya'

And sit back while I paint this picture

For the city

It's been my home for about two decades

Folks rock T and C to their tele teles

Always rep LA

On they white and blue cap

Two in the morning ain't a place to get your booze at

I love my block

With the dimmed out street lights

Thugs do they thing under the busted ass street sign

Better lock your car before it turns into a G ride

Tourists takin' pictures lookin' happy holdin' peace signs

G's catching cases just a couple blocks down

The LAPD got em' serving beat down

We learning ghetto law but we had to raise hell

Now we all doin' well tryin' to stay outta' jail

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city

For the city

From the cities and the states

To cities abroad

I'm like that cool dude Benny

And city of gods

It's love when the city's at peace

Or the city's at odds

Either way I need to stay

Wherever I am within a five mile radius

From the night life, bright lights, and the craziness

Yeah, we live it up, so give it up

For-For-For-What?

The urban life, far from a suburbanite

A shot of Bur ban, twistin' up the urbanite

Makes things a bit easier to tackle

I'm from the orange state, now I'm in the big apple

The hip-hop Mecca

Bomb beats and concrete

When the time wear long johns and turn on heat

Yo, the west is where it's at

I'm thinkin' bout' going-going back-back

If I catch the 4pm to Long Beach I suppose

Catch could scoop me up right before the clubs close

On behalf of the Far Easty boys group

Throw up three fingers y'all and make some noise for who?

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

Stay real, for real

Live good, Stay right

For the city

We stay high, stay fly

For the city

Live good, stay right

For the city
