[spanish speaking escuchela..

def]
The new moon rode high in the of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of
People was tusslin, arguin and
Gangstaz of gotham hustlin
I'm wrestlin words and ideas
My ears is picky, what will transmit
The scribes can to transcript, yo
This no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the
The indisputable, we new york the
Strength in metal and fiber
Where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock
For profits, thirsty criminals take
knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
Is preposterous, alive, you play or die, no options
No batman and robin, tell between
The cops and the robbers, both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back stay darkened
Where unbeliever stay hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the shiny
Is but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, crews retreat
Nightly repeat, who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, averages
My narrative, rose to this existance
the harbor lights which remain in the distance

So much on my that I can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Heard the bass ride out like an 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 like the train leaving

Breathin in city breaths, sittin on shitty steps
We stoop to new lows, hell froze the the city slept
The beast crept through jungles
Communicatin with one
And ghetto birds where fall
the hydrants to the gutters
The beast walk the beats, but the we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, visibly shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to death 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 like puppets, you got pull
the only pull you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail like a in disguise
in the skies for god, what you see besides the smog
Is broken flying away on the wings of the obscene
that people put in the air
Places you could get murdered over a glare
But is fair
a paradox we call reality
So it real will make you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers naturally like, mickey and mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you like an nba salary
Some cats be emceeing to what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is shakin what you in
For to grow in brooklyn, seeds need 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 life type trife the roman empire state

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, weed smoke retrace the
Yo don't the bass out like an ancient mating call
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Sigh before we die like the last train

[spanish speaking woman] escuchela.. ? ?

Yo...on the amen, corner I lookin at my former hood
Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my was gone 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 exhale and the bread leavened
Veteran of a cold war chica-i-go for
What I or, what's known
So days I take the bus home, just to touch home
the crib I spend months gone
Sat by the window with a clutched listenin to shorties cuss long
Young with weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the lord, but didn't have a
It's a dog-eat-dog world, you mush on
of this land I must own
Outta the city, want us gone
Tearin down the 'jects creatin homes
My circumstance is between cabrini and love
by hate, yet I love home
Ask my God how he thought travellin the sound
Found it hard to he hadn't been past downtown
deep, I heard the city breathe in it's sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to
Deep, I my man breathe in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to

So much on my mind I just can't
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars shine
Breathe out, smoke retrace the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train
