lyrics

70 people knockin’ at my door
They say they got the sickness ‘n’ we got the cure
We aint gonna stop until the risin of the sun
Or if the cops come then we gonna have to run
They brought the green, we brought the drink
Drownin’ in liquid it was swim or sink
Seagrams pleasing need no reason or rhyme
Kicki’n in the ceiling we are losin’ our mind

20-20, Ayo, I got the vision
I can clearly see how crazy this life we livin’
She brought her friends who brought their friends
So the way that its lookin’ now is this night will never end
She knows just what she wants when she be askin me
This is crazy can we get some peace and solitary
Welcome to the land of good vibes and palm trees
Come with us to the IV League

OOOOO, What a wicked web we weave
OOOO, Livin’ in the IV League

7 policeman knock knocking at my door
20 people jumpin’ out the back window
Officer say, “Qhy you turn you music up so loud?”
Said it’s to drown the house music out
Said I understand but this but this has got to change
I see to many people drinking underage
Said officer I checked their IDs
“Please this isn’t my first night in IV”

Handcuffed, 20 of us
Ambitious and such, 7 years bad luck
Headin’ downtown to get locked and processed
by the boys in blue ‘n’ their bulletproof vests
I said the seven and seven was beggin for my acceptnnence
The judge just smiled as he served my sentence
Should’ve stuck to them beats instead of walking these streets
But this the price I pay for the IV League

OOOOO, What a wicked web we weave
OOOO, Livin’ in the IV League

Officer, please don’t arrest me
Let me pour a 7 ‘n’ 7 for you and your deputy
Policeman, we mean you no harm
It’s the kids you want that sound like a car alarm

OOOOO, What a wicked web we weave
OOOO, Livin’ in the IV League
