"what'd you do night? "
"we did umm, two cars
It was me, dez, and main three
And on the first car in small it said
'all you see is..' and then you
Big, big, you some block silver letters
said '..crime in the city' right? "
"it just up the whole car? "
"yeah yeah, it was a car and shit..."

The new rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of gotham hustlin
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin will transmit
The scribes can to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the is suitable
alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we new york the
Strength in metal and fiber
Where is paid to trade hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty take pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands of class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No and robin, can't tell between
The and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back streets stay
Where unbeliever hearts hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, like city lights stay
You make a way or stay sobbin, the shiny apple
Is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You lose your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got down and locked down
to savages, nasdaq averages
My narrative, rose to explain this
Amidst the lights which remain in the distance

So on my mind that I can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die the last train leaving

[talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on steps
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the the city slept
The beast crept concrete jungles
Communicatin with one
And ghetto birds where waters
the hydrants to the gutters
The beast the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin visibly
Taken them plungers, to death that's painted by the numbers
With crime unapplied pressure, is playin god
But havin by a lesser baby mother but fuck it
We played each other like puppets, swearin you got pull
When the only you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail like a blessing in
in the skies for god, what you see besides the smog
Is broken dreams away on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts people put in the air
Places where you get murdered over a glare
But everything is
It's a we call reality
So keepin it real will you casualty of abnormal normality
born naturally like, mickey and mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped an nba salary
Some cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be
Hard to be a spiritual when shit is shakin what you believe in
For trees to grow in brooklyn, seeds to be planted
I'm asking if feel me and the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure and rose, cause new york niggaz
spoiled at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I take the l, transfer to the 2, head to the
New york life type trife the empire state

So much on my mind I just can't
Blastin holes in the night til she sunshine

Chest heavin, against the flesh of the

Yo...on the amen, corner I lookin at my former hood
Felt the in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good
Threw on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions, struggle I hadn't
I seven steps to heaven
And hell, waiting to and make the bread leavened
Veteran of a cold war it's for
What I know or, what's
So some I take the bus home, just to touch home
From the crib I spend gone
Sat by the window with a clutched dome to shorties cuss long
Young girls weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the lord, but didn't a touch-tone
It's a dog-eat-dog world, you gotta on
Some of this I must own
Outta the city, want us gone
Tearin down the 'jects creatin plush
My circumstance is between cabrini and love
Surrounded by hate, yet I love
Ask my God how he travellin the world sound
Found it hard to he hadn't been past downtown
It's deep, I heard the breathe in it's sleep
Of I touch, but for me it's hard to keep
Deep, I my man breathe in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me hard to keep

Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the train leaving
