In the city


In the city
It's always been that way
In the city
It's always been that way

In my city is blacks and blocks
With avenues and street tops
Where people struggle to sleep
There's trouble in be, go t rocks, yeah
Don't let the higher power but don't reach pops
Ain't home, momma been alone, going away
So the children run stray
Cannibalistic war play, it's animalistic where I stay
The devil won't play
And, too many contesters today, ay
The level won't stay where it's at, stay strapped
It's the monstral recital that conquers the Bible
By any means, see survival
When friends turn rivals as liable for these confrontations to be homocidal
Her dog hollers back at the sirens, the pain is so blinding
Forgot we are diamonds

In the cityIt's always been that way
In the city
It's always been that way

Ain't nothing uglier, ain't nothing prettier
Than corner stores, whores, drugs galore
Exploitations core, guns and gore
I ...each metropolis between these shores
And then I see it, faith in humanity restored
An act so selfless that I break out in applause
Giving is so elvish that it must be Santa Claus
In the city, dogs, foaming at the jaws
That's kept the voice of justice in its claws, get the gauze
Because it can silence the loudest man
Whether concrete, dirt, canal or sand
You can black top, but the back drop remains
With the same plots repeating like famed refrains
The stains stare at ya
Intensity of character
Gotta be Darwinistic, gotta propensity? to bury ya
Home of the merriest
Land of the nefarious
Tomorrow is the city that will carry us, prepare

In the city
It's always been that way
In the city
It's always been that way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
