|
| And who can see it. |
| plain as day
|
| Look how it FALLS down
|
| Falls down upon everybody!
|
| This is it Looking, over a city, that’s gritty, and rather pretty
|
| A pity, it’s hard to find, but inequity, cover
|
| Every itty bitty square diamond of jiggy
|
| They givin ??, up to woodsy
|
| Manipulatin they minds in the alleyways
|
| These dizzy and shitty rats, the sizes of kitty-kats
|
| They cross paths when traffic subsides; |
| somewhere
|
| Some brothers is overstandin on a hot black rooftop
|
| Freestylin for they GOT damn lives, the spirit, it gets live
|
| And answers the question why God blessed the Earth
|
| But, buildings block out the sky, and the children
|
| Are oversexualized, media-wise, brutalized by parents
|
| At the tender age of five, in front of they siblings wide-eyed
|
| Nah not surprised, just the real scene regularly
|
| Up in between the lies, try to put it together GET
|
| They pieces of the pie, hope they clever and tough
|
| Make it better before they die, plant the next seeds
|
| Somewhere in the South Bronx, or Patterson ??
|
| The baddest with sharp chomp, to splatter when mouths-off
|
| Retali' and swear he could damage em Dunn
|
| But that will shatter his Mom’s faith
|
| In the art that she burns, herbs and candles of perm'
|
| It’s hard to call it see cause times change and the world turn
|
| Some end up slangin dope, some end up strung out
|
| On coke and sherm, some party every night for the rest of they life
|
| And some learn, go corporate all professional rhetoric
|
| With sensational glory, let me tell you all one day
|
| That it is it ain’t boring, and so hard to ignore it Cause any day in this fork, that they callin New York
|
| Based on nothin but currents, you can find yourself a failure
|
| Or a success story
|
| On the subway, at three in the mornin, huh
|
| Or on the corner, or up on a rooftop yawnin
|
| Meditatin upon it, lookin over a city that’s gritty
|
| And rather pretty, a pity
|
| It’s hard to find but inequity covers every itty bitty
|
| Square diamond, the engine, of America, inchin
|
| Toward hysteria, pimpin, every fate
|
| My friends are the faces you sit on, lickin a profit popsic'
|
| Where food is just a necessity between sitcom watchin
|
| Soak up quick image instead of black marks on papyrus
|
| Fabric logic, where true to dirt perps go incogninant
|
| Think of Soup Nazi, empatzi project hard copy
|
| Books will suffer Farenheits, quality of life flesh sliced
|
| Omega daylight quota, pop luck lottery info
|
| GigaPet rapist, internet pedophile disco
|
| Sensationalist function of truth, dirty ass fetish
|
| Glass bubble lo-cal profile, the year’s fiscal
|
| Workin family, Social Jowe, boot camp
|
| Rehab group home kid, idolized cartoon missile
|
| Mostly, lonely, plant life
|
| Cement arena scream when you don’t listen closely
|
| Switchblade amaze young gun Brooklyn blood transplant
|
| Immature Menendez fashion
|
| Crystal Method lover, buy the bottle, jungle captive
|
| Where MC’s got little cocks on teeth with fillings out like magnets
|
| Caught up in the dragnet, tri-felon
|
| Shoula packed a plastic handheld lead shark repellant
|
| I sense the tension building, since canvas killing
|
| K-9's roam trained our district
|
| Culture murder politic sadistic
|
| Policy ?? |
| backtrack, caught up in a tune from rockin fat cap
|
| I told him it was art but just got laughed at Burner liquid concoction on hot celsius
|
| And kelpachlorics for the fatal facial, spray deface you
|
| Sooner than never, most lawless progress together
|
| Fuck the bullshit, I react to acid flux product definitive junk
|
| Brain rape train bottle burners or books, FUCK THAT!
|
| Imagine this, Angeles, or San Francisco
|
| And everybody sandwiched in, can’t stop here and ambulences
|
| Don’t nobody ass-kiss, ain’t practical bein passive
|
| In the city you ask so much ass and mo' asses
|
| It’s a batch of latin girl, actin rappin off the spanish
|
| English quest, can’t understand, as the languages clash
|
| And every ad is vandalism, the trash gets aneurysms
|
| It’s delegates and panelists all representin they nationalism
|
| And the battle inches on, every section seperated
|
| By eth-nic features decorated veterans deliverin
|
| Les-sons to the younger people stoops that double as bleachers
|
| And I’m part, of an elite fleet, of MC’s, and Truthspeakers
|
| I import, concrete beats, that just speak, when my moods flavor
|
| My peers I beg forgiveness, I just don’t buy twelve inches
|
| Too many independents, they share the same resemblence
|
| Too hard to make decisions, I built up a resistance
|
| Like I’m fightin off a sickness plus they just don’t hold my interest
|
| But, missionin out, to the indigineous birthplace
|
| The first day, I inched below the sur-face
|
| And found, inspiration, in surplus, in my, in-terpretation
|
| Of disturbed crazy world, of love, dope shit, attemptin contemplation on Uniquely woven and continously flowin intricately sewn into
|
| The fabric of the nation New York City keep on mowin em down baby! |
