[spanish speaking escuchela..

def]
The new rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of
People was tusslin, arguin and
of gotham hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will
The scribes can to transcript, yo
This ain't no time the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's the inscrutable
The indisputable, we new the narcotic
in metal and fiber optics
Where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock
For profits, thirsty criminals 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, can't between
The cops and the robbers, they partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back streets darkened
Where unbeliever stay hardened
My eagle 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 lose your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and down
Spotlight to savages, nasdaq
My narrative, rose to this existance
Amidst the lights which remain in the distance

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

Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on steps
We stoop to new lows, froze the night the city slept
The beast crept concrete 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, lookin visibly
Taken them plungers, plungin to death that's by the numbers
With crime unapplied pressure, is playin god
But havin children by a lesser baby mother but it
We against each other like puppets, swearin you got pull
When the only you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for god, what you see the smog
Is broken dreams flying on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts people put in the air
Places where you could get over a glare
But everything is
a paradox we call reality
So keepin it real will you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers born like, mickey and mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped 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 grow in brooklyn, need to be planted
I'm if y'all feel me and the crowd left me stranded
My pressure boiled and rose, cause new york niggaz
Actin spoiled at shows, to the the spoils go
I take the l, transfer to the 2, to the gates
New york type trife the roman empire state

[mos def and
So much on my I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Yo don't the ride 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 the last train leaving

speaking 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
Threw on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions, I hadn't mastered
I coreograph seven steps to
And hell, waiting to exhale and make the leavened
Veteran of a cold war chica-i-go for
What I know or, what's
So some days I take the bus home, just to home
From the crib I months gone
Sat by the window with a dome listenin to shorties cuss long
Young girls with weak minds, but they butt
to call, or at least beep the lord, but didn't have a touch-tone
It's a world, you gotta mush on
Some of this land I own
Outta the city, want us gone
Tearin down the 'jects creatin plush
My circumstance is between cabrini and jones
by hate, yet I love home
Ask my God how he thought travellin the world
Found it hard to imagine he hadn't been past
It's deep, I heard the breathe in it's sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me hard to keep
Deep, I heard my man in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to

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