City of Vice

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
