Текст песни
Two blocks away, two kids were gunned down
Two shots a piece, two chalk lines to ground
Too young to die, too callous to grow old
Too quick to shoot, too loud and too bold, uh
My city Gotham, drugs sold like an apothecary
Junkies shake, the city the quakes, on the heroin highway
The smoke rises on arrival on the skyway
Belching blue, black, and grey from three shifts a day, yo
I saw the pier sinking into the lakefront
The dark water pools in the basement for four months, yo
Five units occupied, the other half is vacant
Other flats are boarded up with the xs to make a statement, yo
Turning forty, but we're looking geriatric
And it's hard to keep the peace when the neighbors so erratic, uh
We fear the silence, so we fall asleep to white noise
No joker in the mix, but the mobility is paralyzed
Everybody trying to find a way
Everybody trying to find a way
Everybody trying to find
Trying to find a way out now
Everybody trying to find a way
Everybody trying to find a way
Everybody trying to find
Trying to find a way out now
Ain't nothing sweet in my city but the weed and the food
Ain't reading the news, can't sleep cuz the green and the blues
Defeated, abused, and weak, trying to seek what I choose
And keep what I lose, it seem like the crease in my shoes
That every time I leave, I be needing the booth
To speak on the truth, peace to the people that knew
Even my crew, split like the peas in my soup
Is beef in my stew, I breathe on the beat like a spoon
Photo pretty, bro and business, co-defendant
Got a different meaning when they say it's blowing in my city
Hoe, it's windy, I don't miss it
When I'm missing, I go fishing for a pretty penny
Might as well, I go play my position
Hold your head, bro I listened, no I said
I'ma fix it but it's dead
Know the victim if you're scared
Know the feeling, we can't stand
By the window when they're shooting out the rental
