Now I was raised up in the sunshine city,
In the middle of sex, drugs and girls that’s pretty.
I guess I made a left down the right damn route,
If I made a right they couldn’t have pulled me out?
As I take a look down the project blocks,
I see they filled with pain and I block that out.
Cuz I got a job to protect and serve.
And I? m gonna do it homie, that’s my word?
I got me a badge. I got me a gun.
And all my niggas told me that I was on one.
It was something in my heart that told me,
Cuz when I was young I used to hate the police!
But it? s my calling! that’s my take.
I never would a thought I? d end up as Jake.
But Imma do my best just to keep my brain,
Cuz in this city homie it? s hard to stay sane.

And U gonna see some thangs that u ain’t gonna like,

Verse II
Welcome to Miami where the killers dwell?
And I specialize in putting them in a jail cell,
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare?
Please don? t hate me cuz the badge that I wear
Please don? t hate me cuz ur man ain’t there.
I tried to warn him but he didn’t care.
It? s a dirty job but somebody gotta do it.
Gotta make sure ya kids safe at school.
I got me a badge. I got me a gun.
I got a bad attitude so u better run!
I? m about clean these streets,
And I? ll sweep? em if I have to?
U got guns? We got guns too!
And I bet I got more guns than u!
A message from Miami? s finest don? t sleep.
Cuz if we catch your ass on a creep,
We gonna take your dope, your money,
And leave a case u can? t beat?

This is my City! The City is mine!
