The City

I'm from a city of bad habits, Drug addicts, Our demons run rabid, Loves is absent, Life's is tragic, Reality happens, Young thugs is acting, Fathered by them t.v. cats rappin, Rivals are clashing, Them guns is clapping, Coroner come bag em, R.I.P's in loving memories mark disappointing attractions, The authorities are slacking, But them checks still cashing, It's malpractice while them lights is flashing, The system is broken the foundation collapsing, The measures are drastic, The pressure is cracking, Sober heads relapsing, The poison is everywhere a constant distraction, Poverty in abundance happiness is rationed, The streets are taxing, When your sick money spends quick but you gotta have it, So it's grab it when and wherever to get it the fastest, Morals and dignity set aside daughters raised soiled in hoe tactics, So they grow ratchet, She hides behind glasses cuz her eyes are blackened, He loves her but he beats her down, Cuz she cheats around, Loyalty is foreign she needs a visa now, Gott her cleavage out when she greets the crowd, Wanna live right but nobody knows to teach us how, So it's misunderstood when we're reaching out, Prayers for forgiveness from the preacher's mouth, Lord please free us don't leave us in this leaching town,
