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

[spanish speaking woman] escuchela.. la ciudad
(translation of spanish: to it.. the city breathing)

* repeats 3x *

[spanish woman] escuchela..

def]
The new moon rode high in the of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, and bustlin
Gangstaz of gotham hustlin
I'm with words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will
The can apply to transcript, yo
ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we new the narcotic
in metal and fiber optics
Where is paid to trade hot stock tips
For profits, criminals take pockets
knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No batman and robin, can't tell
The cops and the robbers, they both partners, all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
unbeliever hearts stay hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, like lights stay throbbin
You make a way or stay sobbin, the shiny apple
Is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many crews
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked
Spotlight to savages, averages
My narrative, rose to explain this
Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the

So much on my that I can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
Breathe in, inhale vapors from stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the breathin
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Sigh we die like the last train leaving

kweli]
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on steps
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the city
The beast through concrete jungles
with one another
And ghetto birds waters fall
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, plungin to death painted by the numbers
With unapplied pressure, cats is playin god
But havin by a lesser baby mother but fuck it
We played against each other puppets, swearin you got pull
When the only pull you got is the wool your eyes
Gettin knowledge in like a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for god, you see besides the smog
Is dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
that people put in the air
Places where you could get over a glare
But everything is
It's a we call reality
So keepin it real will make you of abnormal normality
born naturally like, mickey and mallory
Not the ways'll get you capped like an nba salary
Some cats be emceeing to what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is what you believe in
For trees to grow in brooklyn, seeds to be planted
I'm asking if y'all me and the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose, cause new niggaz
spoiled at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I the l, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New york life type trife the empire state

def and crew]
So on my mind I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she sunshine
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out like an ancient call
I take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last train

[spanish speaking woman] escuchela.. ? ?

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

[mos def and
So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin holes in the til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, smoke retrace the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't take it y'all, I can the city breathing
Chest heavin, against the of the evening
Kiss the goodbye, I'm on the last train leaving
