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

The new moon rode high in the crown of the
Shinin, who on top of this?
was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of gotham hardcore
I'm wrestlin 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 york the
in metal and fiber optics
Where mercenaries is to trade hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty criminals take
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the cost of
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, back stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, like lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the apple
Is bruised but sweet and if you 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 which remain in the distance

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

in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty steps
We stoop to new lows, froze the night the city slept
The beast through concrete jungles
Communicatin with one
And birds where waters fall
From the hydrants to the
The beast walk the beats, but the beats we be
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin shaken
Taken plungers, plungin to death that's painted by the numbers
With crime unapplied pressure, is playin god
But havin children by a lesser baby but fuck it
We played against each like 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 skies for god, you see besides the smog
Is dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered over a
But is fair
It's a paradox we reality
So keepin it 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 when shit is shakin what you believe in
For trees to in brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I'm asking if y'all me and the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose, new york niggaz
Actin at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I the l, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New york type trife the roman empire state

So much on my mind I just recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out 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

speaking woman] escuchela.. respirando ? ?

Yo...on the amen, corner I stood lookin at my former
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, struggle I mastered
I seven steps to heaven
And hell, waiting to exhale and make the leavened
of a cold 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 I spend months gone
Sat by the window a clutched dome listenin to shorties cuss long
Young girls with 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 I must own
Outta the city, they us gone
down the 'jects creatin plush homes
My is between cabrini and love jones
Surrounded by hate, yet I home
Ask my God how he thought travellin the world
Found it hard to imagine he been past downtown
deep, I heard 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 I touch, but for me it's hard to keep

def and crew]
So on my mind I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she sunshine
Breathe in, inhale from bright 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 feel the breathing
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the train leaving
