"What'd you do night?"
"We did umm, two whole
It was me, Dez, and Three right?
And on the first car in small letters it
'All you see is..' and then you
big, big, you know some block letters
that '..crime in the city' right?"
"It just up the whole car?"
"Yeah yeah, it was a car and shit..."

speaking woman] Escuchela..

[Mos
The new moon rode high in the crown of the
Shinin, who on top of this?
was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of Gotham hustlin
I'm wrestlin with words and
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 describe the
The indisputable, we New the narcotic
Strength in metal and fiber
mercenaries 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 of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No Batman and Robin, can't between
the and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back streets stay
Where unbeliever stay hardened
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like 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, many retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot and locked down
Spotlight to savages, NASDAQ
My narrative, rose to explain existance
Amidst the lights which remain in the distance

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

Kweli]
Breathin in deep city breaths, on shitty steps
we stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the city
The beast through concrete jungles
with one another
And ghetto where waters fall
the hydrants to the gutters
The walk the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, visibly shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to that's painted by the numbers
crime unapplied 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
when the only 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 dreams flying away on the wings of the
Thoughts that put in the air
Places where you could get murdered a glare
But everything is
It's a paradox we reality
So keepin it real will make you of abnormal normality
Killers Born like, Mickey and Mallory
Not knowing the get you capped like an NBA salary
Some be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is what you believe in
For trees to in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I'm asking if y'all feel me AND THE CROWD ME STRANDED
My blood boiled and rose, cause New York niggaz
actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the go
I the L, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New York type trife the Roman Empire state

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 don't the bass ride out like an mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Sigh before we die like the last leaving

[spanish speaking Escuchela.. respirando ??

Yo...on The Amen, Corner I stood 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 down emotions, I hadn't mastered
I seven steps to heaven
And hell, to exhale and make 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
From the crib I spend gone
Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin to cuss long
Young girls weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but have a touch-tone
It's a world, you gotta mush on
Some of this land I own
Outta the city, they want us
Tearin down the creatin plush homes
My circumstance is between Cabrini and Love
Surrounded by hate, yet I home
Ask my God how he travellin the world sound
Found it hard to imagine he hadn't been downtown
It's deep, I heard the city breathe in its
Of reality I touch, but for me hard to keep
Deep, I heard my man breathe in his
Of reality I touch, but for me it's to keep

Def and crew]
So on my mind I just can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, smoke retrace the skyline
Yo how the ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train
