"what'd you do last "

Big, big, you know some block silver

[mos
The new moon high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin words and ideas
My is picky, seekin what will transmit
The can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the
The indisputable, we new york the
Strength in metal and optics
Where mercenaries is to trade hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty criminals take
Hard knuckles on the second hands of class watches
is collosus, the cost of living
Is preposterous, stay alive, you or die, no options
No and robin, can't tell between
The cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all
no conscience, back streets stay darkened
Where hearts stay hardened
My talons stay sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the apple
Is but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many crews
Nightly repeat, who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, nasdaq
My narrative, rose to this existance
Amidst the harbor lights remain in the distance

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

[talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, on shitty steps
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the city
The beast crept concrete jungles
with one another
And ghetto birds where waters
the hydrants to the gutters
The beast walk the beats, but the beats we be
You on the wrong side of the track, visibly shaken
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 like puppets, swearin you got
When the only pull you got is the wool your eyes
Gettin in jail like a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for god, what you see the smog
Is broken dreams flying away on the wings of the
Thoughts that 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 make you casualty of normality
Killers naturally like, mickey and mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an nba
Some cats be emceeing to what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is shakin what you in
For trees to in brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I'm asking if feel me and the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose, 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 roman empire

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

[spanish speaking woman] escuchela.. ? ?

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

So on my mind I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
Breathe in, inhale vapors from stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Yo how the bass ride out like an mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can the city breathing
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the train leaving
