City of Vice Lyrics

I haven't touched civilian soil since 71

Hopped a plane down south to absorb some sun

Plus make a little scratch run an errand

Sonny organized a drop I'll make sure it's square then

Outta nowhere bullets flying in an instant

Nearly missed me but it hit this dude name Vincent

Dove in the whip which my lawyer had driven

Then we drove to the office to unpack what just happened

Enough chat our first act will start tomorrow

Go to the hotel on a faggio I happened to borrow

Sonny Forelli was my boss up north

Flew me down with the work and I came up short

Not bad for my first gig in 15 calendars

Got bagged for toe tagging 11 mob amateurs

First act was to get some new threads

My lawyer set a meet with colonel Juan Cortez

On a yacht that plush with A list guests

Keep my eye open on this cat Ricardo Diaz

Hella loud and flashy mannerisms so nasty

Conversing with the colonel while the dude walk right pass me

Colonel had a daughter named Mercedes

Took me by the arm I D the pigs in the barn

From real estate titan to porn director

Sports Hall of famers to cats in the private sector

Broke from the yacht dropped Mercedes at a strip joint

Decent property I might own at some point

Nonetheless I thought the function went well

Heading back to my lawyer for more intel

It's this music exec down at club Malibu

With his British accent claiming he got juice

I put his knowledge to test I be damed it's a chef

Caught him solo in the alley applied pressure on on his neck

His cell I collected then out the cut comes this dark complected suited figure who kept stepping

Towards me he better duck for cover

He introduced himself as Vince surviving brother

You know the one who got ejected from the deal that went belly up

Retribution to brim in his cup

Ok Lance Vance what a name

As long as your goals and mine are the same

Get the dope and the cash empty mags when needed

Remain seated I should've know that's how I'll be greeted

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

My lawyer tapped me in with Avery the real estate mogul

Do a favor for favor you know quid pro quo

Help establish some deals with my tactics of persuasion

In exchange the to learn land cultivation

That'll start the cashflow quick

Knowing Sonny and em will take a trip to pay me a visit

How exquisite the second act is quiet vicious

Colonel Cortez clued me in on upcoming ditches

I'm bout to dig starting with Gonzalez the double crosser

Knew about my deal but made an side offer

With that loud mouth on the yacht Ricardo Diaz

But for now lance and I will play it smart til we figure out the rest

Oh yes I left a mess on the penthouse wall

Gonzalez guts splash with a rusty chainsaw

Then a call came from of person of interest

Diaz himself seeking out gunmen for protection

Perplexed I guess well let use to our advantage

And we did got in real good is what we managed

But lance got hood went rogue despite our advances

Revenge got em within time he got captured

Dumb Bastard got me trading shells in a junkyard

A dozen men fell hard I left the yard without a scar

Or scratch lance and I were strapped

A knock on the door then on the floor was Diaz with a gap where his eye was at

Of course the assets that he owned I took gladly

My portfolio diversified rapidly

From hosing, warehouses, store fronts, night clubs

Dealerships, exotic whips, airstrips all the above

Quite the living and I love it kingpin overnight

I own pies but all I ever wanted was a slice

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

The final count of the collision between us and the damned

My M4 locked on lance Vance

Blame envy then again Forelli himself

Promise him plenty everything I'd earn myself

I was the mob house pet that was set out to pasture

Far away from operations up north though I would fracture

The outfit to their dismay I ran the city

With an iron fist made top grade now it's pity

More or less petty going behind my back

Sonny Forelli told me that he had me pinched way back

15 years ago say it ain't so he did me like that

Pose to die by 11 men but that fell flat

I'm seeing red blood must shed throughout the mansion

Start with Lance you 2 bit crook take this fashion

Of metal jackets I hope it sting slow in your torso

Star island swampy waters where you corpse go

Now I'll deal with Sonny and his bakers dozen

Clip after clip sounded like a collage marching band percussion

They all fell down left Sonny on his lonesome

15 bursts from the barrel what I owed Son

Gone were the threats and the micromanagement

Upper heads couldn't care only there is where they spend

Their time vacationing enjoying the sites

Gave me respect how I put down the law got involved

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

In the city of Vice a madman's paradise

This unbearable heat will have your soul on ice

Come alive stay alive be my only advice

Cuz a pound of blood would be the price to have a life

In the City of Vice
