(norfolk ) Virginia Is For Lovers???????????

I'm from Norfolk Virginny
where every bodies stingy
even king pins cut nuts and pinch pennies

where stick up kids are found
patrolling their grounds
when the sun drops the pull out and start patting you down

like give me your money now
don't make a sound
when this barrel burst it's known to send souls to the cloud

and rule number one is to trust no one
cause here friendships dissolve like snow in the sun

and when the parties are done ain't nobody dipping
that's prime time for parking lot pimping

but the crowd will disperse once the pistols burst
even the girls keep a little fire works in their purse

Virginia Is For Lovers. Thats just for t-shirts here hate is heavy
they'll turn you to a plate of spaghetti
the flow is steady 
what every you cop they got ready
until the drought comes then nuts get cut like machetes

its the grind in over kill
where hustlers sale soap for dope and customers cop with counterfeit bills

it's where the projects got renamed 
but the crime didn't change
so they campaigned till down came the whole thing


Its where Sweet Pea learned his fight game
and the weak learned to flee before the night came
and we morn our lost loved ones like Dwayne
and that pain drives some insane damaging brain cells
in a nut shell we catching hell
