speaking woman] escuchela..

[mos
The new moon rode in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, arguin and
of gotham hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin will transmit
The can apply to transcript, yo
This 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, thirsty take pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class
Skyscrapers is collosus, the cost of
Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No batman and robin, tell between
The cops and the robbers, both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay
My talons stay sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either a way or stay sobbin, the shiny apple
Is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could lose teeth, many crews retreat
news repeat, who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, averages
My narrative, rose to explain existance
Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the

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

[talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the slept
The beast through concrete jungles
Communicatin with one
And ghetto birds where fall
From the to the gutters
The beast the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to that's painted by the numbers
With crime pressure, cats is playin god
But havin children by a baby mother but fuck it
We played against each other puppets, swearin you got pull
the only pull you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail like a blessing in
Look in the for god, what you see besides the smog
Is dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts people put in the air
Places where you get murdered over a glare
But is fair
It's a paradox we reality
So keepin it real make you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers born naturally like, and mallory
Not knowing the get you capped like an nba salary
Some cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is what you believe in
For trees to grow in brooklyn, 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 the l, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New life type trife the roman empire state

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

[spanish woman] escuchela.. respirando ? ?

Yo...on the amen, I stood lookin at my former hood
Felt the spirit in the wind, my friend was gone for good
dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered
I coreograph steps to heaven
And hell, waiting to exhale and the bread leavened
Veteran of a war it's chica-i-go for
What I know or, known
So some I take the bus home, just to touch home
From the crib I spend months
Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin to cuss long
Young girls with weak minds, but they strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the lord, but didn't have a
a dog-eat-dog world, you gotta mush on
Some of this I must own
Outta the city, they us gone
down the 'jects creatin plush homes
My circumstance is cabrini and love jones
Surrounded by hate, yet I home
Ask my God how he thought travellin the world
Found it hard to he hadn't been past 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 in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's to keep

[mos def and
So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the last leaving
