[00:00.60]Welcome To The Bay - Kero One
[00:10.78]Welcome to the bay
[00:12.37]Where the clouds can't stay
[00:14.09]They're chased away by the rays
[00:15.72]Blazed by the sun
[00:16.94]That sets in the west
[00:18.26]Where money travels hands
[00:19.44]Like our credit card debts
[00:20.58]Like screw it I'mma pick up
[00:22.08]Those brand new kicks
[00:23.18]Charge it to the game worry
[00:24.82]Bout it when we rich
[00:25.82]Like silicon valley
[00:26.47]Where nerds get hitched
[00:28.18]To super hot wifey's
[00:29.51]With silicon chest
[00:30.88]Who might fund the bricks
[00:32.14]That'll build the projects
[00:33.44]Mostly if it's a look
[00:34.54]That'll increase margins
[00:35.88]And everyday we walk past
[00:37.44]Those that's starving
[00:38.40]Or trying to get a hit
[00:39.66]The source of their problems
[00:41.11]Hey I'm just trying do the
[00:42.43]Best that I can
[00:43.46]In a hi tech world
[00:44.43]Moving faster than grams
[00:45.92]Slanged in the Mission district
[00:47.32]Where gunshots are numerous
[00:48.70]Dr*g problems are ludicrous
[00:49.80]Crack babies from uterus
[00:50.83]Hey I know a few know
[00:52.41]What I'm talking about
[00:53.32]It's the place we've grown
[00:54.55]It's a place called home
[00:55.84]It's a place that we face
[00:57.27]Everyday in the morn
[00:58.70]A place if I leave best
[00:59.97]Believe i'll be torn
[01:01.24]It's the bay
[01:02.05]No matter how long I can stay
[01:05.29]I'll be here
[01:07.07]No matter how long I'm away
[01:10.23]I'll be there
[01:11.86]No matter how long I can stay
[01:15.24]I'll be here
[01:17.17]No matter how long I'm away
[01:20.27]I'll be there
[01:21.82]And it was only 1 score
[01:23.14]And 7 years ago
[01:24.24]My folks came to the bay
[01:25.54]Searching for vehicles
[01:26.59]They had the drive to drive
[01:28.06]Towards the scenic view
[01:29.22]Flat broke where hopes
[01:30.54]And dreams were feasible
[01:31.74]Coming from Asia things
[01:32.95]Were barely readable
[01:34.27]Burgers and fries things
[01:35.65]Were barely eatable
[01:36.83]But opportune this place
[01:38.13]Was unbelievable
[01:39.23]Inconceivable when words
[01:40.51]Like chink were teachable
[01:41.81]Despite the racism they asked
[01:43.29]What would Jesus do
[01:44.57]And prayed for children God
[01:45.87]Willing received a few
[01:47.11]Then I arrived survived 89'
[01:49.15]When quakes shook us up
[01:50.62]And scuffed our state of mind
[01:51.95]I grew up to an ill fitting suit trying to climb
[01:54.41]From corporate to forfeit scoring
[01:56.10]Checks to rhyme
[01:57.00]And I'm now in Frisco water surrounds my grind
[01:59.39]And men in leather chaps or chaps
[02:01.06]With gang signs
[02:01.90]The home of hyphy
[02:02.93]Where living is pricey
[02:04.45]And blood paints the streets
[02:05.73]That police just might see
[02:07.01]It's the home
[02:07.62]I'm at raised and born the home if I leave best
[02:10.83]Believe I'll be torn
[02:12.07]It's the bay
[02:27.41]It's the bay
[02:33.24]No matter how long I can stay
[02:36.41]I'll be here
[02:38.25]No matter how long I'm away
[02:41.48]I'll be there
[02:43.25]No matter how long I can stay
[02:46.46]I'll be here
[02:48.40]No matter how long I'm away
[02:51.49]I'll be there

[03:03.30]Inhale exhale
