Sin City
Kanyes West Lyrics

10 a.m. it's west side bitch
It's 10 a.m. in the morning and we're on the west side.

She see the glasses, so obvious
She notices the glasses, they stand out.

Run from home, after tonight we up out of here
We are leaving town tonight and never looking back.

Don't go home cause they just ran me up out of there
We were just kicked out of our home, so we can't go back.

All of those drunken nights then fuckin' every night
I used to drink and have sex every night.

She run her mouth, but can't eat right
She talks too much, but she can't back it up.

Don't read between the line and forgot how to be white
Stop trying to read between the lines, just be yourself.

She smelled the line, baby you know you don't need white
She can smell the cocaine, but she doesn't need it.

Now look what we did now, the cops behind us
The police are chasing us now.

Ran that red light, did you have to be mindless?
We ran a red light, couldn't you have been more careful?

SMH, we all know that cocaine killed Abel
Shaking my head, we all know that cocaine killed Abel.

From the scholar letters devour this
Read these scholarly letters carefully.

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

Don't look in her eyes, you might see straight to her soul
Don't look into her eyes, you might see her true self.

Don't say yes to that good, cause you'll never know
Don't be too quick to accept something, because you might never know the consequences.

Cause we lost in the city where sin is no biggy
We're lost in a city where sin is rampant and accepted.

I'm here with open arms and I gotta
I'm here for you with open arms and I have to be here.

Here is where her heart belongs
This city is where she feels at home.

Her heart belongs to me
She's mine, her heart belongs to me.

Teyana Taylor & John Legend

I beg for mercy today
I'm asking for mercy today.

They won't take me away
They won't take me away from you.

Don't know what I would do
I don't know what I would do without you.

Don't let us die in vain
Don't let our struggle be for nothing.

Don't let them see our pain
We don't want anyone to see our pain.

Wash these demons away
We need to get rid of these demons.

You are all unwelcome to Sin City
Nobody is welcome in Sin City.

Yet the population still increases its density
Even though nobody is welcome, people still move here.

And that increases its intensity
That makes things even more intense.

Which increases the propensity
And that makes people more likely to get into trouble.

To complicate your simplicity
To make things harder than they need to be.

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

All for the sake of publicity, in this city
People do extreme things just to get attention in this city.

CyHi Da Prynce is a rapper featured in the song.

Huh, bad bitches with ass shots
Bad women with fake butts.

Use a house as a stash spot
Use a house to store drugs.

Lexus coupe with the rag-top
Driving a Lexus convertible.

I'm in the loop, warm tie like a ascot
I'm in the know, dressed up like a gentleman.

I used to run with the have-nots
I used to run with poor people.

Kept the ave hot just so we could have knots
We kept the neighborhood hot so we could make money.

A lot of niggaz see they dreams in a glass pot
A lot of people think they can get rich selling drugs.

Until the judge throw you in that box and watch your ass rot
Until the judge throws you in jail and watches you suffer.

We broke all the commandments
We broke all the rules.

Authentic, I'm hand-stitched
I'm genuine and made by hand.

Come spend a day in my Hamlet
Come and see how I live.

My city lost, some say it's Atlantis
My city is lost, some say it's like the lost city of Atlantis.

I went to Cannes with a tan bitch, Frances
I went to the Cannes Film Festival with a woman named Frances.

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

So I ate her like it, haters hate to like it
So I enjoyed what we did, even if others don't approve.

Sex, drugs, and playin' dices, those are our favorite vices
We love sex, drugs, and gambling.

But this life'll take a toll on ya
This lifestyle will wear you down.

Well I guess you gotta pay the prices
I guess you have to pay the consequences.

I know who Christ is
I know who Jesus Christ is.

And he never hung with the Saints it makes no sense to save the righteous
He didn't hang out with perfect people, so it doesn't make sense to try to save only the good.

By the age ten, we were caged in
By the age of ten, we were already trapped.

Now they raise men in the state pen
Nowadays, men are raised in prison.

Fake friends, forgive 'em for they sins
Forgive your fake friends for their mistakes.

God bless the city, amen
God bless this city, amen.

And now I'm one of the residents
Now I'm one of the people who live here.

They walk with none of the repercuss', but all of the decadence
They walk with no consequences, but all of the sin.

And all the fuckin' debauchery
And all of the sinful behavior.

Adult film star, somebody's fuckin' watchin' me
As an adult film star, someone is always watching me.

I always feel like, I'm almost feel like
I always feel like I'm about to do something.

Cause I could feel it in the air tonight
I can feel something important is about to happen.

I did some wrongs I wouldn't dare to right
I did some bad things that I wouldn't try to fix.

And wrote some songs I wouldn't dare recite
I wrote some songs that I wouldn't dare perform.

But I am willing to share tonight
But I'm willing to open up about them tonight.

In the city that is as unfair as life
In this city that is as unfair as the world.
