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

[spanish woman] Escuchela..

[Mos
The new moon rode high in the crown of the
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, arguin and
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin will transmit
the can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the
Strength in metal and optics
where mercenaries is paid to trade hot tips
for profits, thirsty criminals take
knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you or die, no options
No Batman and Robin, can't tell
the cops and the robbers, they both partners, all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like city lights throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Apple
is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and down
to savages, NASDAQ averages
My narrative, rose to explain existance
the harbor lights which remain in the distance

So much on my mind that I recline
Blastin holes in the 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 take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Sigh we die like the last train leaving

[Talib
Breathin in deep breaths, sittin on shitty steps
we to new lows, hell froze the night the city slept
The beast crept through jungles
with one another
And birds where waters fall
from the to the gutters
The beast the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, visibly shaken
Taken plungers, plungin to death 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 like puppets, swearin you got pull
when the only you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin in jail like a blessing in disguise
in the skies for God, what you see besides the smog
is broken dreams away on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts that put in the air
Places you could get murdered over a glare
But everything is
It's a we call reality
So keepin it real make you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers Born Naturally like, and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped 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 grow in Brooklyn, seeds to be planted
I'm asking if feel me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood boiled and rose, cause New York niggaz
actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the go
I take the L, transfer to the 2, head to the
New York life type the Roman Empire state

[Mos Def and
So on my mind I just can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
before we die like the last train leaving

[spanish woman] Escuchela.. respirando ??

Yo...on The Amen, I stood lookin at my former hood
Felt the in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good
Threw on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
down emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered
I coreograph steps to heaven
And hell, waiting to exhale and make the leavened
Veteran of a cold war Chica-I-go for
What I know or, known
So some days I the bus home, just to touch home
From the crib I spend gone
Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin to shorties cuss
Young girls with weak minds, but they butt
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but didn't have a
It's a dog-eat-dog world, you gotta on
Some of land I must own
Outta the city, they us gone
down the 'jects creatin plush homes
My circumstance is between and Love Jones
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
deep, I heard the city breathe in its 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 to keep

[Mos Def and
So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I take it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train leaving
