The Whole City Behind Us – The Game (feat. Kanye West & Ludacris)
By
[Kanye West:] Yeah, yeah
I used to front when I write songs Talking ’bout having ice on And I could barely keep my lights on And my beats were so sick, I should’ve got a medic But my credit was so pathetic I couldn’t afford a debit When The Dropout dropped, I had to cop me a money tree To front on anybody who tried to front on me With so much personality, what do you want from me I could be by myself and enjoy the company My life, this year, my career is the lore Bad shit is the war, it’s for my listed Ford ’94, I could only afford this Accord From the home of gangbanging and we all outdoors Southside outside, Westside let’s ride (Eastside) Right B side, Lake Shore Drive and I’m Chi-Town’s finest
Where you at? The whole city behind us Where you at? The whole city behind us (Uh) Where you at? The whole city behind us Southside outside, Westside let’s ride Where you at? The whole city behind us
[Ludacris:] There ain’t nothing to it but to do it I came here to shut the place down ’til my body stops pumping red fluid A-Town, I’ve been through it And we steady getting tested but ready to fill your bubble when we put the led to it (Yeah!) Out west, they still banging, up top it’s really gully (Woo!) Down south, we get bucking, turn hearts to silly putty Ludacris, I got silly money You got jokes, I be laughing all the way to the bank, now that’s really funny Big city, big lights And many pity ’cause we like fights Maybe long days but it’s fight nights Living out the night life And people ask “Where you at?” Not the club I stay in to get right Hotlanta, home of the booties and the really tight skirts Where if somebody move then somebody gets hurt From the cater down to CP, an EP Had them feel to the battlefield, it’s DTP
[Kanye West:] Where you at? The whole city behind us Where you at? The whole city behind us (Uh) Where you at? The whole city behind us Southside outside, Westside let’s ride Where you at? The whole city behind us
[The Game:] It’s Compton’s prodigy, obviously, I’m from the home of hydraulics Where their time and day is around the steering column Of Apollo’s and to get high, we fighting Pitbulls, Rottweilers In the projects, the objective is make dollars Where you at? It ain’t a problem to get it there by tomorrow ‘Cause I got a female friend with freaking fly mileage I ain’t ever been to college, got the IQ of a road scholar If you follow G-Unit through, up get dubs and yell holla To all the YGs and khakis and white tees With Air 1s in every color like iced tea I might be the city of Compton’s right knee The way I paint pictures with these hip-hop scriptures Pay attention while The Game shine like a prism Glisten, show you how canaries could alter one’s vision Not to mention I am Dr. Dre and Chris on behalf of Luda’ and Kan’ Yeezy I’m going pretty easy
[Kanye West:] Where you at? The whole city behind us Where you at? The whole city behind us (Uh) Where you at? The whole city behind us Southside outside, Westside let’s ride Where you at? The whole city behind us Where you at? The whole city behind us (Uh) Where you at? The whole city behind us Where you at? The whole city behind us Southside outside, Westside let’s ride (Uh, uh) Where you at? The whole city behind us
