Welcome to the bay

Where the clouds can't stay

They're chased away by the rays

Blazed by the sun

That sets in the west

Where money travels hands

Like our credit card debts

Like screw it I'mma pick up

Those brand new kicks

Charge it to the game worry

Bout it when we rich

Like silicon valley

Where nerds get hitched

To super hot wifey's

With silicon chest

Who might fund the bricks

That'll build the projects

Mostly if it's a look

That'll increase margins

And everyday we walk past

Those that's starving

Or trying to get a hit

The source of their problems

Hey I'm just trying do the

Best that I can

In a hi tech world

Moving faster than grams

Slanged in the Mission district

Where gunshots are numerous

Drug problems are ludicrous

Crack babies from uterus

Hey I know a few know

What I'm talking about

It's the place we've grown

It's a place called home

It's a place that we face

Everyday in the morn

A place if I leave best

Believe i'll be torn

It's the bay

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there

And it was only 1 score

And 7 years ago

My folks came to the bay

Searching for vehicles

They had the drive to drive

Towards the scenic view

Flat broke where hopes

And dreams were feasible

Coming from Asia things

Were barely readable

Burgers and fries things

Were barely eatable

But opportune this place

Was unbelievable

Inconceivable when words

Like chink were teachable

Despite the racism they asked

What would Jesus do

And prayed for children God

Willing received a few

Then I arrived survived 89'

When quakes shook us up

And scuffed our state of mind

I grew up to an ill fitting suit trying to climb

From corporate to forfeit scoring

Checks to rhyme

And I'm now in Frisco water surrounds my grind

And men in leather chaps or chaps

With gang signs

The home of hyphy

Where living is pricey

And blood paints the streets

That police just might see

It's the home

I'm at raised and born the home if I leave best

Believe I'll be torn

It's the bay

It's the bay

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there

No matter how long I can stay

I'll be here

No matter how long I'm away

I'll be there

Inhale exhale

Take a breath that's the bay we smell

Inhale exhale

Take a breath it's the place we dwell

Inhale exhale

Take a breath that's the bay we smell

Inhale exhale

Check it out as the bay prevails
