In The City

In The City

 

got to survive day by day

with my back against the wall

no one seems to catch you when you fall

life in the fast lane playing the chance game

there's lovers in the park at night all alone

seasoned veterans that teach there own

it maybe complex but I must confess

the city life isn't for everyone

make sure to bring up your young

heads in standing order to deliver

messages of rape, pillage & murder

should I go any bit further

blasting stereos in there souped up cars

alone in the corner of the bar

we each can learn something in which to deliver...

 

boardwalk with fancy talks

built up upong the social scene

spreading the disease

throwing the frisbee in the park

fightings with gangs & a chance to rearrange

got your hopes on a new way of system

the Panthers and the resistance

so sorry to dismiss this

hot dog stands with the pretzles

yet there's still changes & I'm getting older

can't be along much longer

we falter through the very notion of love

it's been commonly swept under the rug

in the city you can let loose of any feeling that hurts inside...

friends, family & peers

will always be there with a cheer

let me make something clear

you will never be alone there

in the day the streets are hot

night times comes and you near forgot

listen my son to what you have been taught
