My City

[Intro - News segment]

"Reuters is reporting on the situation in Detroit today. It turns out the authorities recently cut off the water to Detroit residents and... and because of some international pressure, they actually turned it back on for a brief amount of time and I think it was about thirty days they turned the water back on and, you know, the international news story kind... new stories kind of quieted down for a little bit. Well now, they just turned it off again."

[Verse 1]

Ayo, whats going on out here?

I'm seeing things coming to a head

Y'all bubble 'bout to burst

It's bigger than religion

Shit getting worse

It's time to make a decision

Pick a side, choice is live or die

Let your soul be the guide

It's more than just pride

Divide is the downfall

No more talks at your town halls

Times are wasting, my summation's this

Build up your arsenal

What the world's coming to we can't undo

From what I'm seeing is

The government is triggering a race war

Can't be settled by a friendly game of base ball

Nations clashing

First it was Al-Qaeda now it's ISIS

Who's wicked and who's righteous?

I'm on the fence about who's really real

And who's shifty

My trust level is reduced to paranoia

Below the standards of a lawyer

Losing a case based on the defence of Tom Sawyer

Extinction agendas with devils in attendance

Marked for death 'cos of my past and descendants

My passion I vent it

Giving y'all images and flashes

Of what's on the horizon

In this game, my name on a blacklist

For speaking my piece

Many assassin's bullet wanna put me to sleep

[Interlude - News segment]

"Chicago's south side. These streets are home to some of the most dangerous gangs in America. Last year there were more murders here than in any other city in the United States"

[Verse 2]

Yeah, my gusto's fuelled by talk later but shoot now

Anything else is just futile

If it's useless, frivolous

Or don't serve a cause for me and mines

It's a waste of time

Live by merit if it's worthy of the effort

If not, I'd rather die from thirst out in the desert

In real life certain things just can't be prevented

So while I'm here I'll serve my penance

Praying for absolution, my brain is a weapon

The doctor plans and plots

Hoping I don't lose it

Anti to the system

O's not a christian

Fuck self pity 'cos I'm far from a victim

Mars ain't my mission, listen

People are told if they're not saved

They on a road to perdition

My drive's like an engine

If being self sufficient is a sin, then

Straight to hell I'm descending

This new world criminal [?]

Mischievous and foul and wild like gremlins

Bombs hit Syria

Wiping out men, women and kids in the area

The bully is America

Will benders

Never thought about enlisting

No disrespect to soldiers but false pretences under

Evil regimes, controlling resources

Using the armed forces for war endorsements
