VELL BAKARDY - Inner City Shyste lyrics

[Verse 1]

He worked at the hardware store most his life

He lived in a small town, never had a wife

Oh shit, the nigga's light, Wasn't the fact that he rolled daytons???

He had a little cash, he was bringing home the bacon

He lived in the suburbs, he drove a 'Burbon

Liked to get his drunk on, blunt's and Erk 'n' Jerk'n

And since it was Friday, he wanted to show out

Come to the Inner City, stopped at the Hereford House

Now that he got his grub on, Hit up 3-9

Eye contact, that's where he seen mine

I saw him at the corner, lookin like he knew the hood

Brother's staring at him, System was sounding good

He drove on by, I saw him run the Stop Sign

Made a left, Made a right, just missed One-Times

Here they come, down the hill as he's creeping up the street

I'm suprised they didn't pull this brother over for his speed

Cause Uhh..

[Chorus: x2]

The Inner City Shyste

Brothers come fiesty

Just like me

The Inner City Shyste

[Verse 2]

He's feeling good, he got his grub on

Boy he's feeling good, he's ready to get his club on

Stopped at Kamikaze's

Parking lot full of bodies

Brand New faces

All types of races

They just came to kick it, That fell short quick

Before he could find a place to park, Somebody hit his shit

Backed into the whole rear end, more than a fender bender

Brothers jumped out, like they wanted to knock some teeth in

But to his suprise, they was about 4 deep

So he said fuck it, went ahead and pulled his heat

Approached them with caution, too late them brothers saw him comin

Didn't want to conversate, they started dumpin

So he started runnin, lookin for a way out

Didn't nobody know em to help em, if he's laid out

Meanwhile, those brothers that was busting at him

They right behind em, continuing to flush on him

Cause Uhh..

[Chorus]

[Vell talking]

Meanwhile, as he ran inside of the resturant

[Resturant Worker] PUT THE GUN DOWN MAN, YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

He found himself surrounded by the same four civilians

he met at the club who don't tkae "No" for an answer..

[Verse 3]

He ran and he ran, til, he finally hit the intersection

Didn't want to stop,since them brothers was comin his direction

His life started to flash, cause he'd never been in this type of drama

Didn't believe his eyes, he's wishing he could call his mama

Looked down at his pistol, 4 brothers, 7 shots

Legs getting weak, cause he knows that's all he's got

Situation grim, all behind a fender bender

Got brother's trying to chase em, Up and down the street to do em in

Took a chance with traffic, went ahead and crossed the street

Ducked in Arthur Bryant's, for his safety and out the heat

No time to clown around, got the grim reaper on his back

Inner City beef, with them four brothers that pulled that strap

There's nothin else to do, but to alarm themy bout his situation

Lady can you please, call the cops before the lead penitration

Meanwhile, those brothers that was busting on him

Ran right into the resturant and started jumping on him

Cause Uhh..

[Chorus]
