Artist/Band: Saigon
Lyrics for Song: The Invitation
Lyrics for Album: The Greatest Story Never Told [2011]



Ain't nothin' stoppin' this murderin' in Metropolis

I represent the poor profitless corner monopolipis

The pessimist outnumber the optimist on the block and it's

Coppers that got binoculars cause I can feel them watchin' us



If only they knew what we had a pocket of

They probably swarm in without a warning pointin' glocks at us

Get down but this is gettin' us paid

So at a very tender age we learned the tricks of the trade



Copping coke to cooking it to chipping it with the blade

To baggin' and pitchin' to gettin' rid of it in a raid

Most of us would never get to stage, when it's lawyers and bail

Hell, we're happy to get stiffed in the cage



And it's crazy we be out here days upon days

Makin' just enough to get some licks, some kicks and some haze

It's a damn shame we're placed in a no win situation

The party is in the pen and the blow is the invitation



Rikers Island, you don't stop

Greenhaven all day, you don't stop

Hold it down in Rahway, you don't stop

You gotta strive in Elmira, you don't stop



Sullivan, Kelso and you don't stop

All my peoples Auburn, you don't stop

And last but not least for the sure shot

It's the abandoned nation



Teresa baby, daddy got a bad habit of smoking money up

She gettin' some strippin' paper

But saved enough for a tummy tuck

Little man hungry as fuck, he only one years old

But knows he's unlucky and such



As he grows he gets bitter now he acts up in class

He curses his teachers out, tellin' them they can kiss his ass

Soon as he didn't pass his mama whoppin' his ass

His pops is not around, the boy is blocked down



Not even twelve months later

He suckin' on 40oz and pissin' in elevators

Idolizin' the guys with big rides that gettin' quick paper

And now he despises the shit taker



He thirteen, goin' on twenty six and a half

His only dream is to have bricks and a stash

Poppin' the clutch and hittin' the gas, so he start dabblin'

In the coke game pitchin' for halves



Now he sittin' in a cell with an unpeculiar bail

He happened to make a sale to an unfamiliar male

Who was an undercover cop, his photo is at the station

The party is in the pen and the blow is the invitation



Bayview and Clinton, you don't stop

North Branch, Connely, you don't stop



Hurstville, Bunker Hill, you don't stop

Greenville, James River, you don't stop



(Verse 3: Saigon)

The party is in the pen and the government is promotin' it

That's the reason I don't be believin' in all this votin' shit

They bring the coke in this bitch, ain't no poppy seeds

In the p's please, there's nothing but a whole lot of hopelessness



That's where all the focus is, makin' sure all the blacks

Stay in the back the same place that, uh, Scoliosis is

How can they lie with such compulsiveness

We just sit around acting like this is how we supposed to live



Fuck outta here, I can swear in 'bout a year

I'll have these suckas in explainin' why the hell they still got us here

This being treated like shit, still gettin' beat

With nightsticks, still attractin' heat in my six



That's why we ride still drink Bacardi and the Gin

That's why you tryna invite me to the party in the pen

The body will get your ass up in the VIP

And the burner will get you in without showing your ID



The coke that'll get you in, especially if you cook it up

You RSVP to the party in the P

Enitentiary Saigitty, I am the truth

I ain't one of these kids that lie to the youth, I'm living proof



Comstock in the house, it don't stop

Sing Sing, uh, you don't stop

Attica, come on, you don't stop

And Attica, come on, you don't stop



Out in Greenhaven, you don't stop

And what it do Rahway, you don't stop

Out west in Lompoc, you don't stop

Is San Quetin in the house and you don't stop



Over in Ironwood, you don't stop

What about Aronhill, you don't stop

North Branch, do it up, you don't stop

Over in Connelly, you don't stop



Saigon the Yardfather, you don't stop

Just Blaze on the beat, he keeps it hot

And last but not least for the sure shot

It's the abandoned nation



Comstock's in the house hands up

Sing Sing's in the house hands up

Attica's in the house hands up

Greenhaven's in the house hands up



Rahway's in the house hands up

Lompoc's in the house hands up

Elmira's in the house hands up

Sullivan's in the house hands up
