167

[Hook]
167th, 167th, 167th, 167th, uptown, uptown
167th, 167th, 167th, 167th, uptown, uptown
Now we got Spanish women, we, we got anything you need
We got Spanish women, we, we got anything you need
[Bridge]
And I live on the block where all the haze is, ah, okay, okay
Everybody out there tryna make it, ah, okay, okay
We don't wanna live paycheck to paycheck, ah, okay, okay
Everybody struggling to pay rent, ah, okay, okay
[Verse One]
Abuela heard them sirens on the block again
Went from watching her novelas to just watching them
Uptown where them coppers always stop and frisk
They don't need no probable cause and still, they lock the kid
Now they get paid by the bodega, them coppers always raiding
They lock my homie up for a ****ing blunt and some papers
They put him in the cell where they took his belt and his laces
He juggling them cases, the judge is a ****ing racist
Them prisons is just some businesses, they about making profit
We been living in the system so long, we victims of the process
In the middle of the strip where them pitchers is on the corner watching
For any suspicious vehicle that be driving on...
[Hook & Bridge]
[Verse Two]
Abuela heard them sirens on the block again
Went from watching her novelas to just watching them
Uptown where them coppers always stop and frisk
They don't need no probable cause and still, they lock the kid
Nah, we be where the fiends is, down the street from the precinct
And I never get on my knees ****, I stand when I talk to Jesus
*****es belooking good, if you smoke 'em up, you can beat it
Feeding the ****ing block, when they cooking, everybody eating
Uh, when they get a little money, they send it back to the island
Laundering it with Laundromats that they bought just to wash it
But a barbershop that got no barber inside it, we living to the limit
And we love it, we passing by on...
[Hook & Bridge]
