Inna City Mamma |
| New York — Just like I pictured it — skyscrapers and everything |
| Inna city love, you crushed me into a pulp — I trusted you |
| When I loved you from a distance |
| And your skyline made me a promise |
| In my safe world to be somebody |
| In your city to own your streets |
| Where I’d strut covered in money |
| Shattered dreams. |
| It ain’t funny |
| Now I look at you with tears in my eyes |
| The good the bad the ugly |
| As I start to cry I search for the sky |
| Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, they’re coming. |
| Chorus: |
| Inna City Mamma |
| You bore another child to be victim of Your cold blooded ways |
| Inna city love |
| From the gutter |
| So destructive when you sing your blues |
| I want to love you baby |
| I don’t mean maybe baby, but I need everything you got |
| You can’t break your promise |
| I’m inna city hunger, you think you’re tough I’m stronger |
| If you’re weak I’ll eat you up |
| I’m gonna touch you where you’ve never been touched before |
| And by your spine I’ll bruise your veins and touch your very core |
| Let my concrete be your red carpet |
| My shooting galleries your personal starship |
| Give me all your dreams, this city loves you |
| Use my roots to deliver your body |
| Under my skies where you make your money |
