Sin City
Cyhi Da Prynce/John Legend/Malik Yusef/Teyana Taylor/Travi$ Scott Lyrics

10 a.m. it's west side bitch
It's early morning on the west side of the city

She see the glasses, so obvious
She notices the drinks, showing that she's observant

Run from home, after tonight we up out of here
We're leaving our homes after tonight and never coming back

Don't go home 'cause they just ran me up out of there
I can't go home because I was kicked out

All of those drunken nights then fuckin' every night
We spent nights drinking and having sex

She run her mouth, but can't eat right
She talks too much but doesn't take care of herself

Don't read between the line and figure out how to be white
Don't try to become someone you're not

She smelled the line, baby you know you don't need white
She recognized the smell of cocaine and doesn't need it

Now look what we did now, the cops behind us
We're being chased by the police because of what we did

Ran that red light, did you have to be mindless? SMH,
You shouldn't have run that red light, it was a foolish move

We all know that cocaine killed Abel
Cocaine is dangerous and deadly

From the scholar letters devour this
Read this carefully and take it to heart

She stepped into hell, 'cause winter got cold
She's in a bad situation because of the cold winter

Don't look in her eyes, you might see straight to her soul
Her eyes reveal her true emotions

Don't say yes to that good, cause you'll never know
Don't always agree to something that seems good

'Cause we lost in the city where sin is no biggy
We're stuck in a city where sin is normalized

I'm here with open arms and I got her
I am welcoming and supportive of her

Here is where her heart belongs, her heart belongs with me
She truly belongs with me and nowhere else

I beg for mercy today
I am pleading for forgiveness

They won't take me away
I don't want to be taken away from her

Take me away from you
I don't want to be separated from her

Don't know what I would do
I wouldn't know how to survive without her

Don't let us die in vain
I don't want our relationship to be a failure

Don't let them see our pain
We don't want others to see our struggles

Wash these demons away
We want to cleanse ourselves of our demons

You are all unwelcome to Sin City
This city is not welcoming to outsiders

Yet the population still increases its density
Despite that, more people keep moving in

And that increases its intensity
The city becomes more crowded and intense

Which increases the propensity
This leads to a higher likelihood

To complicate your simplicity
The city has a tendency to make life more complex

No matter your ethnicity
It doesn't matter where you come from

All for the sake of publicity, in this city
Everyone wants attention in this city

Huh, bad bitches with ass shots
Women with fake butts

Use a house as a stash spot
A home is used to hide illegal items

Lexus coupe with the rag-top
Luxury car with a convertible roof

I'm in the loop, warm tie like a ascot
I'm well-connected and well-dressed

I used to run with the have-nots
I used to be poor and without much

Kept the ave' hot just so we could have knots
We kept the area busy to make money

A lot of niggas see they dreams in a glass pot
Many people associate their dreams with drugs

Until the judge throw you in that box and watch your ass rot
Until you get arrested and suffer in jail

We broke all the commandments
We have done many bad things

Authentic, I'm hand-stitched
I am genuine and carefully crafted

Come spend a day in my Hamlet
Come experience my environment

My city lost, some say it's Atlantis
My city is in ruins, likened to a mythical place

I went to Cannes with a tan bitch, Francis
I went to a prestigious film festival with a woman named Francis

She rode the broom on the beach, that's a sand witch
She rode a surfboard on the beach, like a witch on a broomstick

So I ate her like it, haters hate to like it
I enjoyed her company, despite others disapproving

Sex, drugs, and playin' dices, those are our favorite vices
We enjoy indulging in sex, drugs, and gambling

But this life'll take a toll on ya
This lifestyle will harm you

Well I guess you gotta pay the prices
There are consequences to this lifestyle

I know who Christ is
I am aware of Jesus Christ

And he never hung with the Saints it makes no sense to save the righteous
Jesus didn't spend time with perfect people, so it's pointless to try to be perfect

By the age ten, we were caged in
We were trapped in bad environments from a young age

Now they raise men in the state pen
Nowadays, it's common to be raised in prison

Fake friends, forgive 'em for they sins
Forgive people who pretend to be your friends

God bless the city, amen
May the city be blessed by God
