It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
Where I'm from people don't make it out
You either get a job or get a hustle
And try to build yo' clout
And that's only if you don't get caught up in that vice's trap
Addicted to strong liquor or even smokin' crack
It ain't shit down here, man, I'm trying to tell ya
And this ain't the first you heard it
Them old folks tried to tell ya
Get the hell from 'round here
Go see something in this world
That you ain't seen, my dear
You got a job makin' minimum wage
And if you work hard enough
You'll be a supervisor one of these days
Now you doin' pretty good
And you makin' a lil' change
You even put rims on the whip
It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
Now everybody in the hood see you
Got a few stacks in yo' pocket
But, boy, you still stay at yo' mama house
'Cause she probably told ya, "You ain't have to leave"
You just chippin' in on the light bill
By now you done caught the attention
Of the neighborhood skeezers
You know them chicks, they kinda cute
But done fucked all the geezers?
Whole hood done ran through 'em
It ain't really nothin' to 'em
All you see is she got a lil' fatty
On that WIC and them food stamps
You know them local tramps
You start hittin' it on the regular
Damn, she know how to work it
She tell ya, "You don't need protection
Boy, you ain't got no control
You just happy to have a steady piece of ass, you know
Now you done wifed up the neighborhood ho
It's every day where I'm from lil' bro
You ain't trippin' either way
'Cause you love the way it feel
Now you got a baby on the way
It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
It's the vicious cycle of a small town
It's like Hotel California
It's like Hotel California
