In My City Destiny's Child

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)

[Verse 1: Latavia & Beyonce]
One little, two little, three little, dope fiends
Takin' a hit by the swings and they messing up the party
Looking all trashed out, drinking up the 40's
My city is crazy, but my parents told me
To never let it faze me (All right)
Just keep your head high and be strong
And stay out the trouble zone
You see reality is light
I might be a little grown but I'm sharp like a knife
So, watch your back when you wanna
And when they pull up the gat, jet
It's red hot in my city
I saw who get shot and no one gave him any pity
You better listen up to what I'm saying
Checkin' him up, knocking him down and taking him out
They don't be playing

[Chorus]
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
That's the way it is in my city (In my city)
