Verse 1 Welcome to the bay! where the clouds can't stay they're chased away by the rays blazed by the sun that sets in the west where money travels hands like our credit card debts like screw it, I'mma pick up those brand new kicks charge it to the game, worry bout it when we rich like silicon valley, where nerds get hitched to super hot wifey's, with silicon chest who might fund the bricks that'll build the projects mostly if it's a look, that'll increase margins and everyday we walk past those that's starving or trying to get a hit, the source of their problems hey, I'm just trying do the best that I can in a hi-tech world, moving faster than grams slanged in the Mission (district) where gunshots are numerous drug problems are ludicrous, crack babies from uterus, hey, I know a few know what I'm talking about it's the place we've grown, it's a place called home it's a place that we face everyday in the morn (ing) a place if I leave best believe i'll be torn it's the bay. Chorus No matter how long I'm away I'll be there.. No matter how long I can stay I'll be here.. No matter how long I'm away I'll be there.. No matter how long I can stay I'll be here.. Verse2 And it was only 1 score and 7 years ago my folks came to the bay searching for vehicles they had the drive to drive towards the scenic view flat broke where hopes and dreams were feasible coming from Asia, things were barely readable burgers and fries, things were barely eatable but opportune, this place was unbelievable inconceivable when words like chink were teachable despite the racism, they asked what would Jesus do.. and prayed for children, God willing received a few then I arrived, survived 89' when quakes shook us up and scuffed our state of mind.. I grew up to an ill-fitting suit, trying to climb from corporate to forfeit, scoring checks to rhyme and I'm now in Frisco, water surrounds my grind and men in leather chaps or chaps with gang signs the home of hyphy, where living is pricey and blood paints the streets that police just might see it's the home I'm at, raised and born the home if I leave best believe I'll be torn its the bay... Chorus Outro inhale exhale take a breath, that's the bay we smell inhale exhale.. take a breath, its the place we dwell inhale exhale.. take a breath, that's the bay we smell inhale exhale take a breath, as the bay prevails..
