Lyrics
0:05Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:10Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:14Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:19Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:24Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:29Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:34Everything is fair when you're living in the city
0:39Looking at Miss Lane it was the fast lane
0:42Barely knows her name struck by fame
0:44She just got a Benz she rides with her friends
0:46Gotta keep her beeper in her purse to make ends
0:49Rollin down the block checking out the spots
0:51She winks at the cops always give her props
0:54She knows she's the woman
0:55Can't nobody touch her
0:56Hangs out for the loot
0:57Makes her papes from the gutter
0:59Tried to make my moves on Miss Lane
1:01She called me young boy
1:02Told her not to dis me
1:03I just want to be your love toy
1:04You young boy my love toy
1:05I doubt that very highly
1:06Just because you rhyme don't mean
1:08I'll let you try me
1:09Business oriented egos never dented
1:11Always sweet scented if it's business
1:13She meant it
1:14Distractions never hurt always did the work
1:16Always was alert she never got jerked
1:18Queen of the feats thrive to compete
1:21Love the funky beats while
1:22She drive down the street
1:23She was justified couldn't get a job
1:26Had to feed her family
1:27So she had to play then rob
1:28Pulling out the ooh wop listening to doo-wop
1:32You don't have to say a word
1:37That's all ya heard
1:39Everything is fair when you're living in the city
1:43Everything is fair when you're living in the city
1:48Everything is fair when you're living in the city
1:53Everything is fair when you're living in the city
1:58She's not a big kahuna wish I met her sooner
2:00Instead I met her later my love is much greater
2:03Put me on her roster to rid her of impostors
2:05And to sell the buddah for the sexy ** ruler
2:08Love is my motive now I'm ** promotive
2:10Plus I needed duckets to fill up my buckets
2:12Supplied me with the squeezy to make my life easy
2:15Now I'm missing action for this fatal attraction
2:17But don't you let me catch you
2:19With your joint up in these bitches
2:20And don't you even dare
2:21To plan a plot upon my riches
2:22'Cause if you play me out
2:23I think I'll let ya be
2:25I'll be damned if I let a brother try to gas me
2:27I played my cards well try to live swell
2:30For the G I would sell
2:31Cause I was deep in hell
2:32But then I really wasn't
2:33She had a fly cousin
2:35Who would give me booty
2:36On the side of my cutie
2:37Elaine she kinda new that I would do the do
2:39But she didn't tear I did my work with care
2:42That's all that really mattered
2:43He money never splattered
2:44As long as she was paid she was in the shade
2:47You can't really blame her
2:48For holding on a flamer
2:49Society taught her but they didn't tame her
2:52A ten clip salute honey here's a troop
2:54She will never stop until she reach the top
2:57Top
