We will drive them to the limit
Drive the invading forces to the limit
Where they lose their patience, and they will lose their hope
And the day will come, where they are driven down
To their lowest level and give up
This is the first time we've heard an official articulate
How they plan to try and win
They plan to fight and do it here
By making sure that the United States loses its patience
That the troops lose their hope
That their morale is driven to it's lowest level

Due the hellish events, the days were numbered
Agitated and withdrawn, the addicts wonder
Moving through eternal hell, constantly beaming
In the grips of evil, wrestling with their own demons
An ordinary ride, extraordinary challenge
Back and fort between boroughs, that was very hard to balance
Where the shots got louder, witnesses kept silent
Through those sweltering days of the summer to stay violent
Soldiers that appeal to the boss' desire
Captivated by the idea of speed and quick to fire
Rushed his orders came in a commanding tone
Carried out, executed within a battle zone
Action spoke louder than words that made him walk
'Cause these kids had came with more music than less talk
Thinkin' that they was bigger than U.S. Steel
They couldn't close a deal without a cap to peel
But once the act of fear is exceptionally calm
With unanswered questions what harms the firearm
Each killing the counter, horrific in it's own way
A groundbreaking case that lasted for another day

This is the city of fast money, expensive cars, topless bars
Movie stars and executives with fat cigars
Record labels that ain't stable, with low appraisals
And the lie that burn bridges due to fragile cables

Quite often unpredictable things can happen
Well aware of the sudden danger, they start scrapping
Violence can erupt within the blink of an eye
As a three night reign of terror light up the skies
Other uprisings are in the years of making
The young start sizing up the hood and get to taking
A high voltage power line surrounds the gold mine
Soldiers on the front line who sell dimes and hold nines
Many times enjoying themselves much too much
They hit the clutch before they pull out on such and such
It's a very unforgiving environment 'cause one out of two
They get an early retirement, for many different reasons
The tale of the tape is uneven
What they perceive as a prank had stopped them from breathing
He was known to run towns and brutally gun down
He said it was a great risk for him to be around

This is the city of fast money, expensive cars, topless bars
Movie stars and executives with fat cigars
Record labels that ain't stable, with low appraisals
And the lie that burn bridges due to fragile cables
