Welcome to Baghdad Lyrics by Tony K

2016

[Hook: Tony K]
They shootin’ on my block (On my block, On my block)
Go ahead and call the cops (Call the cops, Call the cops)
But I bet they won't show up (Won’t show up, Won’t show up)
Cause it's dangerous where I’m from
I said it's dangerous where I’m from
This is Baghdad
I'm from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Baghdad I’m from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
[Verse 1: Tony K]
From the country where it's no peace
No hope, no love, no police
Death tolls only rise won't decrease
Ain’t no more law in these streets
You might get killed in your sleep
At work at church while you preach
You might get killed while you eat
At home at school while you teach
We keep them rifles next to a bible
It’s crucial for our survival seek
Shelter cause these bombs they keep on dropping
They ain’t stopping speak
Truth cause yall don't have a clue
Your nightmare our reality
Way too many casualties
But I guess that we don't matter
We, expendable
We don't need your sympathy
We just trying to live like the rest of you
In search of liberty
But outside my window
It's machine gun symphony
And it's thee only sound I know
The devil knockin at my door
[Hook: Tony K]
They shootin’ on my block (On my block, On my block)
Go ahead and call the cops (Call the cops, Call the cops)
But I bet they won't show up (Won’t show up, Won’t show up)
Cause it's dangerous where I’m from
I said it's dangerous where I’m from
This is Baghdad
I'm from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Baghdad I’m from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
[Verse 2: Tony K]
Nine millimeters
Them heaters
We gotta keep us
A few
Assault Kalashnikov's
A sniper rifle or two
Cause you know if they steady shooting
Then we gotta shoot to
So it’s click clack
And it’s b.. blast
At any motherfucker that verse you
It’s either you or I
And I ain’t ready to die
This a warning playing biggie
Bumping track number five
Living in this jungle we just trying to survive
Steady dealing with some vultures
Got some trouble on they mind
This how it goes outside my window
It’s wives turned to widows
Children to orphans
And orphans to bones & organs leave you broken
Anger provoking
Violence resorting, open fire
Pour out some holy water
Put out the wildfire
[Hook: Tony K]
They shootin’ on my block (On my block, On my block)
Go ahead and call the cops (Call the cops, Call the cops)
But I bet they won't show up (Won’t show up, Won’t show up)
Cause it's dangerous where I’m from
I said it's dangerous where I’m from
This is Baghdad
I'm from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Baghdad I’m from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
[Verse 3: Tony K]
We forgotten in this land it’s either ride or fold
We ain’t got no rights so shotgun shells we stocking fool
They'd kill my cousin
And my brother
And my mama too
They don't give a fuck about us
Man I swear nobody do
I just need this piece of mine
To bring me some peace of mind
The outcome of the recent times
All around revelation signs
My religion
Ain’t your religion
So division
Kicks in and it's all collision
It’s war
Broadcast on your
Flat screen television
We collide
Before we coincide
Shooters on the block
Here they come run and hide
Or you can grab ya guns and meet me outside
Cause you see where I’m from everyday this is life
[Hook: Tony K]
They shootin’ on my block (On my block, On my block)
Go ahead and call the cops (Call the cops, Call the cops)
But I bet they won't show up (Won’t show up, Won’t show up)
Cause it's dangerous where I’m from
I said it's dangerous where I’m from
This is Baghdad
I'm from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Baghdad I’m from Baghdad
Welcome to Baghdad
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
Everywhere you steppin' death is knocking at your door
