[00:00.00] 作曲 : Faust, Lacey
[00:04.53](Intro)
[00:12.66]Yeah
[00:12.75]It's the sound of Philadelphia
[00:20.82]Yo, yo
[00:21.15](Verse 1)
[00:22.35]Welcome to the home of brotherly love
[00:24.27]Brothers covered in blood
[00:25.65]The man's office is covered in bugs
[00:27.69]The youth dreams cut short, swept under the rug
[00:30.45]Love for self is outweighed by the love for the drugs
[00:33.33]Go Eagles, McNabb and T.O.
[00:35.58]We ain't hard to find homey, just follow the **** smoke
[00:39.00]We eat rolls of greased beef soaked, overweight and evil
[00:42.42]A city of justice unequal
[00:44.40]The shadow of New York we still under
[00:46.41]So we gotta kill 'em every summer, walk a little tougher
[00:49.89]Guns bustin' how we chose to fight
[00:51.93]When you can go from bein' a star to a scumbag overnight
[00:55.71]Streets often deserted on the coldest nights
[00:58.68]All hair trigger thunderbirds show you're right
[01:01.26]Cops don't ask if ya know your rights
[01:03.12]Hopeless hypes smokin' pipes
[01:04.50]Pavement gamblers rollin' dice
[01:06.66]Short sentence describe your whole life
[01:08.91]Low expectancy at a low price for a low life
[01:12.15]The mind of many years shines, soul so bright
[01:14.88]But they could give a ****, in their crib no light
[01:17.82]Everybody rhyme and they claim they don't write--it down
[01:21.30]Sit down, take it all in
[01:23.10]Civilization, this is where it all ends
[01:25.56]The city I call kin
[01:26.85]Yo, so take caution
[01:28.23](Hook) (2X)
[01:28.38]It's the sound of Philadelphia
[01:29.73]Gun shots and pretty beats
[01:31.44]Come along with me, hear my city speak
[01:34.14]It's talkin' to ya, it's giving you a heads up
[01:47.58]It's sayin' that niggaz 'round here is gettin' fed u
[01:49.98](Verse 2)
[01:50.16]On stoops the fruits of my labor
[01:53.52]Hood gossip never news from the newspaper
[01:56.25]Don't ask me for shit, we never do favor
[01:58.83]The elders are now just a bunch of reclused neighbors
[02:01.59]Tax dollars go to prisons, new judges, new chambers
[02:04.74]Love it when you lose, kill ya if you came up
[02:07.11]Niggaz passin' disease, ****in' the same slu
[02:09.66]You either cuttin' a demo or gettin' 'caine cut
[02:12.66]Don't go to school, they'll treat you like a lame duck
[02:15.27]You ain't my master, yeah it's a shame but
[02:17.85]What do you expect from--kids who need respect
[02:20.49]Cuz no one was at home for them to learn respect from?
[02:23.61]We respect guns, we respect funds
[02:26.19]Let's face it, my future don't look like the Jetsons
[02:28.95]Don't ask the government for help cause we expect none
[02:31.62]Our heroes get murdered and replaced with the next one
[02:34.47]It's like a wild west done
[02:36.24]On the way out I hope I get one
[02:38.13]But I doubt that will happen
[02:39.39]Cuz of crabs in a barrel
[02:41.01]I'll probably end up in a cage
[02:42.90]Cuz I had to let a blast from the barrel
[02:45.03]The city of Philly {"{"}*echoes*}

[02:50.37]It's the sound of Philadelphia
