Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Skoo, skoo, skoo, skoo
They call out
Mercy mercy, Marcy, me
Clinton and Canarsie be like
Skoo, skoo, skoo, skoo
They call out
Nostradamus, Malcolm, Marvin, saw what's going on
[PreChorus]
I know left and the right talking two different stories (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I know I'm strong in this life but I still tuck my chain
[Chorus]
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels so uneasy
[Verse 2]
Skoo, skoo, skoo, skoo
They call out
Times are changing, mama's favorite
Creeping through the club at midnight
Skoo, skoo, skoo, skoo
They cry out
Now they're back in the pew
At the crow of the rooster crawling into the light
[PreChorus]
Left and the right talking two different stories (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I know I'm strong in this life but I still tuck my chain
[Chorus]
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels so uneasy
[Bridge]
It's a revelation
[Chorus]
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels uneasy
The only way that I can describe (Describe, describe it)
The city feels so uneasy
[Bridge]
Yeah, hey
Easy
Easy, yeah
Easy
So uneasy
[Verse 3]
Uh, times is hard, and the city's uneasy
Been a carnivore ever since I was teething
Close the shower door on my city, it's steaming
I know I'm the god that my city believes in
Amen menage, the devil been deceiving me
Had me on the hardtop, thinking it was easy street
Mama used to scream at me, and take me off that scenery
I been about a bag 'cause all I wanted was to be a G
That's that New Orleans in me, I come from where the demons be
The dungeons and the dragons, I just asked them not to breathe on me
Shit get difficult then shit get nastier than Eazy-E
You don't know what it mean to me, These mean streets, ain't mean to me
Gangster shit, life is a bitch until she ain't your bitch
The streets' colder than the streets in Anchorage
Swisher on my hip, make me walk like my ankle twist
God damn
[Outro]
They call out
Weezy, baby
This city is uneasy, baby
Yeah, Me and Mr. Batiste
Lil' Weezyana
[Outro]
They call out
This that fire
Lil' Weezy, on the guitar ladies and gentleman
