Welcome To The Bay Lyrics - Singles - Kero One

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
