Ocean View

[Verse 1]

Blood done been runnin' down streets flood with beats

Of pepper spray over cracked concrete, so

So vicious make a rich man's neck split

Underworld 'bout to wreck shit, bet this

Banks closed, stomachs churnin'

Lines and rows, cops blastin' out church windows

They heard word of two on the terror list

Hid in the pews just two city terrace kids

One held a piece just for peace of mind

The other was spittin' poems, blowin' minds on a picket line

Barricades lay 'cross, made with bumpers and burnin' tires

And you could smell the exhaust

And you could hear the kids scream, don't play us too close

Have the mic or the heater, but you can't hold both

And they were both

And they were both

[Chorus]

Ocean of tears rise

Rise a flame to tear them down

Ocean of past crimes now

Fill our hearts to tear them down

[Verse 2]

The water main's cut off

Panic hit the manor of the mayor who's soft

Word on the streets that the cops got off

They shook to the rhythm of

Heaters that burned like claps of thunder

You turn to look at vengeance returned

That shattered control, after the whole

Shock of the news that a bomb hit the bridge at Broadway

Gridlock, full stop, every exit way

From Chavez to Main, downtown was the same

Every corner aflame with

Lines of people stripped of they clothes, freeze

Hold up your ID's, their houses burned as they watched

The colonel looked at his clock and they were all

And they were all

And they were all

[Chorus]

Ocean of tears rise

Rise a flame to tear them down

Ocean of past crimes now

Fill our hearts to tear them down

Ocean of tears rise

Rise a flame to tear them down

Ocean of past crimes now

Fill our hearts to tear them down

[Bridge]

We'll light the flame to tear them down

Light the flame to tear 'em down

We'll light the flame to tear them down

We'll light the flame to tear 'em down

We'll light the flame to tear them down

We'll light the flame to tear them down

[Outro]

To tear them down

To tear them down
