CunninLynguists feat. Masta Ace In the City song lyrics

In the city

It's always been that way

In my city is blacks and blocks

With avenues and street tops

Where people struggle to sleep, Ock

There's trouble and beef, go t rocks, yeah

Don't let the higher power but don't reach pops

Ain't home, momma been lone, going away

So the children run stray

Cannibalistic war play, it's animalistic where I stay

The devil won't play

And, too many contesters today-day

The level won't stay where it's at, stay strapped

It's the monstral recital that conquers the Bible

By any means, see survival

When friends turn rivals as liable for these confrontations to be homocidal

Her dog hollers back at the sirens, the pain is so blinding

Forgot we are diamonds

In the city

It's always been that way

Ain't nothing uglier, ain't nothing prettier

Than corner stores, whores, drugs galore

Exploitations core, guns and gore

I abhor each metropolis between these shores

And then I see it, faith in humanity restored

An act so selfless that I break out in applause

Giving is so elvish that it must be Santa Claus

In the city, dogs, foaming at the jaws

That's kept the voice of justice in its claws, get the gauze

Because it can silence the loudest man

Whether concrete, dirt, canal or sand

You can black top, but the back drop remains

With the same plots repeating like famed refrains

The stains stare at ya

Intensity of character

Gotta be Darwinistic, Got a propensity to bury ya

Home of the merriest

Land of the nefarious

Tomorrow is the city that will carry us, prepare

In the city

It's always been that way
