 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 In the city.. 
 
 [Guru] 
 One Friday  little Emmitt reached his limit 
 School was wack, he wasn't with it 
 His man told him, that he could make some dough 
 Deliverin packages, for Mac Money Joe 
 so he said, "Cool.. yo I need a hustle 
 Yo hook me up, plus I need a pistol or 
 a .380, a two-two or a .25 
 I'm gonna get large kid, I'm all the way live" 
 But he was sadly mistaken 
 Now he's locked up, he's doin time and he's thinkin 
 
 [Carleen Anderson] 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 In the city.. 
 
 [Guru] 
 One Saturday, sweet Renee ran away 
 Couldn't take moms yellin, didn't wanna stay 
 Her girl told her, that she could get quick cash 
 Goin on dates, for Pimp Daddy Nash 
 She said, "Well I don't know, I gotta meet him 
 You say he's fly, mmm? I gotta see him" 
 The next thing you know she's out late nights 
 Makin dollars for Nash, wearin her skirts tight 
 Now she's a victim of the system 
 Man what happened to her dreams, and her ambition? 
 
 [Carleen Anderson] 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 In the city.. 
 
 [Guru] 
 Old Mr. Fillmore, he owns a grocery store 
 It's a small little shop, the children call him Pop 
 But of course he keeps a shotgun 
 just for protection, cause he's got a little grandson 
 On Sunday, while he was there cleanin 
 He heard the front door slam, a lady screamin 
 He grabbed the shottie and walked out from the back 
 All he saw was two kids, wearin black ski masks 
 He fired, they fired, all at the same time 
 Now there's a funeral on Wednesay, a quarter to nine 
 
 [Carleen Anderson] 
 Sights in the city got people cryin.. 
 Sights in the city got people dyin.. 
 In the city.. in the city.. in the city.. 
 In the city! In the city.. in the city.. 
 In the city.. in the city.. in the city.. 
 In the city! In the city! 
 
 [Guru] 
 Many sights and sounds in the city, knahmsayin? 
 People dyin, innocent victims 
 The babies ain't got no future 
 What are we gon' do? Brothers can't make a buck 
 Mmm, just some of the sights and sounds, that's all 
 Gues I'm just gonna get mine
