Now I was raised up in the sunshine city In the middle of shit, drugs and girls thaz pretty I guess I made a left down the right route If I made a right they couldn't have pulled me out As I take a look down the project blocks I see they filled with pain and I block that out Because I got a job to protect and serve And I'm gonna do it homie, thaz my word I got me a badge, I got me a gun And all my niggas told me that I was on one It was something in my heart that told me Because when I was young I used to hate the police But it's my calling! Thaz my take I never woulda thought I'd end up as Jake But Imma do my best just to keep my brain 'Cuz in this city homie it's hard to stay sane As I walk the line The city is mine Just don't cross the line The city is mine As I walk the line The city is mine, the city is mine Just don't cross the line Welcome to Miami where the killers dwell And I specialize in putting them in a jail cell I give a holla to my sisters on welfare Please don't hate me 'cuz the badge that I wear Please don't hate me 'cuz ur man ain't there I tried to warn him but he didn't care It's a dirty job but somebody gotta do it Gotta make sure ya kids safe at school I got me a badge, I got me a gun I got a bad attitude so u better run I'm about clean these streets And I'll sweep'em if I have to U got guns? We got guns too And I bet I got more guns than u A message from Miami's finest don't sleep 'Cuz if we catch your ass on a creep We gonna take ur dope, ur money, and leave a case you can't beat As I walk the Line The city is mine Just don't cross the line The city is Mine As I walk the line The city is mine Just don't cross the line The city is Mine The city is Mine As I walk the line The city is mine Just don't cross the line The city is mine
