Miles down Under the Under the Under the underground The murder mount If you don't know somebody You don't come around The summer sound 6 x 9's bumpin' out an old Buick My stomping ground None other than East St. Louis Edgemont is the set East St. Louis the city Illinois is the state St. Clair is the county Trying to find a better way Surrounded by these debts to pay Looking for a brighter day But still it's all the same Nothing new Several distractions fogging up my river view Wanna relax and sip a brew But what is there to do Do who? Me? You? Feeble people Bill collectors peeping in my peep hole We know better Dying over quick cheddar Short dudes pushing GTi's That's a quick Jetta Now it's all better But it seems we forgot How we all came up on the block Edgemont is the set East St. Louis the city Illinois is the state St. Clair is the county Edgemont is the set East St. Louis the city Illinois is the state St. Clair is the county Crossing the bridge... Crossing the bridge... Crossing the bridge Notify your next of kin Herb and exhaust fumes What a delicate blend I'm telling you In the city bear witness For real Survival of the fittest Ya'll know the deal Welcome to the city where the cops disappear And everybody's from here But nobody lives here 65,000 residents But we're well known You can call it East Boogie But we just call it home From Miles Davis to Darius Miles to Jackie Joyner Ike and Tina Brian and John Cox and Jeffrey Hunter No wonder We pummel every burrough around The exact place where you don't want to be from out of town Run it down clown Run the jewels And holla back Hit me with a track To put my city on the map Edgemont is the set East St. Louis the city Illinois is the state St. Clair is the county Edgemont is the set East St. Louis the city Illinois is the state St. Clair is the county If it don't always work out You can find another way Find another way-ay-aye Now you heard the history But what you don't know is It's all lies Tell you it's a place you don't go then They come in and buy The whole city up Place we grew up in City we used to love then They get us to move out And then they move in Your grandmama's house That used to belong to them Take it all back Get us off track Make us feel unsafe Then sit back and wait Corrupt politicians Supported by the county Your kids act up Send 'em up to county Their kids get out of line Community service You moved out east Now everybody's nervous Now they're coming back Slicing up the map Low cost land Sold to the white man Get us out the way And they did it all properly Just to get their hands on that riverfront property
