Lyrics
Verse I
Now I was raised up in the sunshine city
In the middle of sex, drugs and girls thaz pretty
I guess I made a left down the right damn route
If I made a right they couldn't have pulled me out...
As I take a look down the project blocks
I see they filled with pain and I block that out
Cuz I got a job to protect and serve
And I'm gonna do it homie, thaz my word...
I got me a badge. I got me a gun
And all my n****s told me that I was on one
It was something in my heart that told me
Cuz when I was young I used to hate the police!
But it"s my calling! Thaz my take
I never woulda thought I'd end up as Jake
But Imma do my best just to keep my brain
Cuz in this city homie it's hard to stay sane
As I walk the Line
The City is Mine
Just don't cross the line
The City is Mine
As I walk the Line
The City is Mine, The City is Mine!
Just don"t cross the line
Verse II
Welcome to Miami where the killers dwell...
And I specialize in putting them in a jail cell
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare...
Please don't hate me cuz the badge that I wear
Please don't hate me cuz ur man ain't there
I tried to warn him but he didn't care
It's a dirty job but somebody gotta do it
Gotta make sure ya kids safe at school
I got me a badge. I got me a gun
I got a bad attitude so u better run!
I'm about clean these streets
And I'll sweep '"em if I have to...
U got guns? We got guns too!
And I bet I got more guns than u!
A message from Miami's finest don't sleep
Cuz if we catch ur a** on a creep
We gonna take ur dope, ur money, and leave a case u can't beat...
As I walk the Line
The City is Mine
Just don't cross the line
The City is Mine
As I walk the Line
The City is Mine
Just don't cross the line
The City is Mine
The City is Mine
As I walk the Line
The City is Mine
Just don't cross the line
The City is Mine
