[chorus: greg valentine]
There's no sunshine in the city
That's the way it's going down
People kill and people dyin
Every time I turn around
There's no sunshine...
[sticky fingaz]
I roll wit purse snatchazthe villainsand trespassers
Criminalistand parole violators
I raidin wit regulatorsinvaded the instigators
Passed the procrastinatorsrolled on retaliators
Roamin at home wit burglarsparty wit murderers
Scandal big reelersI sell coke to dope dealers
Ask the stash dealersso rash the gat peelers
The time behind barsridin in stolen cars
Forty deuce sixposin hardrollin large
Big pockets that paypistol black is big smackers
Back up the allyattack uswaitin for the crackers
Smugglersmuggersin the gutters wit ruck cutters
Runnin up on niggas for butter loversor whatever
Can't take it for hoppers cockersby watchin cops and robbers
But kid it'skinda fittestquit thismoney get this
For beaters wit heaters to bleed usand speed usand 2 seaters
Crime essence and crime confessionsyea pure precious
My guess is good as yourswhile niggas be takin draws
Rapers and zipper ripperstake rappers and over actors
Bottle throwersthe buddha rollers
I roll wit cigar smoke flowers
Boilers wit playasslashes bashes mercedes
Always solicitand pullin out on project business
Schemin and scandalousthe dreamers and pan handlers
Ready to run up in rockefellerput the glock in the teller
And tell the bitch to give the moneyand hurry up

[chorus]
[sticky fingaz]
I pledge allegiance to the street and blame god
For the creation of this pitiful earththat's filled wit temptation
Birth was my invitationdeath will be initiation
Now I just got a probationso wish me congratulation
But I'm under investigationfor psychic evaluation
Facin incarcerationand isolation over the color discrimination
So I need the participation the caucasian assassination
Time is wastinit's a sticky situation
Tryin to stop a reproductionto come off a population
And there's no exaggerationso whoever in an association
Wit the nigga retaliation that needs a total cooperation
When hours of desperationon for ya information
A confrontation will be fought by the younger generation
Cuz we got determinationall we need is organization
So I use my concentration wit a jim crow education
Cuz history repeats itselfya destination ya plantation
All come as loud as nationthat builds upon a communication
And then without a explanationa hesitationwe have a reservation
To elite from a tree my decorations
So because of these altercationswe need to make some me duration's
That's being the manipulation of this God damn nation
And witness how the warn indicationso it's the indian conversation
