Lyrics:
from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams
Picture
from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams
Picture
Jody was a friend of mine
Met him back in '89
He was drummer
Liked to walk from Brooklyn down
Into the city
Watchin every girl go by
You know he did
This old world will turn to rust
Leave us with dust and rain
Cities fall as nature calls
Us into the wild again
As I burn my credit cards
Some
hungry
When yuh bruk dem bless you wid money
But I have been so fortunate
Surrounded by so many people mek sure seh me copacetic
Ah dem deh ting me
Well I mean it when I tell ya
You'll be broken by the world you carry
Watch the vultures pick your bones and
Burn your house down in forgotten
brings ?
So farewell to the Sacred Land that we call forever home
Time will tell if we understand that we never walk alone
Side by side to the east we
and not crossing roads or highways
In the afterlife of super cities, rapidly devouring its outskirts
It's neon octopus arms redecorating late at night
You know it ain't the summer of love
Want the world
To know just what I'm thinking of
Flaming cities burning with the rock
Get kids numb by
I've arrived city of lucid dreams
Before me a building
Looms caked in inky grime
The act unknown
Actor in sleep
Here I enter, and here I see
or even ill I'm still on the grind.
But I'm motivated by, the vision is in the strange,
Gotta know the half of what was doing in was dang.
We're doing
Leave another, how can you go?
How can't you know, I mean by now?
We're kids forever, ain't we tho?
Ain't we so high and wild?
You say, Oh,
where I was
I didn't know my name
Didn't know where I was, didn't know where I was
It all looked the same
By the time I reached Wisconsin, it was
Wasn't really into rap but the shit sound tight
He used to tell me all the time
Don't wet none sis
By this time next year we gon' be dumb rich
That's when
thinking of the time
That I saw you last
Time has passed me by too fast
I think of yesterday
It seems so very far away
I wonder if you think of me
I wish you
(R) Teenage groupie's true romance
Sitting on the sidelines cuz you can't dance
Buried to the knees
I know the city is vast, it's a parking lot
I step out of the shadows
And into the bright day,
I cannot breathe
For the smoke and the city smells.
My head comes alive
With the humming
money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
(Dirty cash, dirty cash)
Meanwhile, back in the city, the real pill, the nitty
Staring at the glow of the city lights
In the land of the rising sun
You hear the cries from the hearts of everyone
An ocean apart from my town
and posin'
He had that shit but he lost it
His coach told him jab that shit but he crossed it
He got caught by a left hook now he clockin' out
Sign
One, two, three, four!
I was kidnapped real young by the sweet taste of love
Built a fondness for things that just weren't good enough
I cradled
the state I'm in
These cities, this view,
I see nothing without you
And I can do this alone,
But we can do this so much better,
Together, together,
In fair silver city on the blind side of fate
I grew up to manhood on the narrow and straight
But prideful I stumbeled, and foolish I fell
In
of death I ride
Summer has come over the city
Midday heat is low
The surviving few bring out their dead
A never-ending flow
A never-ending flow
I
