CITY OF LOVE

Need soul medicine from the soul veterans
Already struggling but heart keeps bubbling
The system is in trouble but it always has been
Im a madman thinking about the badman
Probably didn't have a father so hes kinda sad man
Seeing pimps and hustlers is coming up big
And that's the only influence for these truant kids
I know you gotta get paper somewhere
Anythings better than nothing im not frontin
I wanna be something something bend your knees
Start jumping twist some trees im loving
Theres a breeze and a dozen of my cousins
Feel peace spread love on the streets

Chorus

All my brothers and sisters make their way on the streets
Lookin' out for tomorrow, holding onto their dreams
They just keep on trying, is it ever enough
It's a war of survival in this city of love

Hip hop and shots on the block
Struggle concentrated down in one particular spot
Tales of young males and how they got got
But instead of meditating concentrating on the deficit
Think about the past and how you gonna last and
How you gonna come up with your brain not blasting
Be a gentleman with the women old fashioned start mashin
And smashin it up we know fascists wanna trash this
Make labor cheaper keep your head educated
Only method demonstrated for the get ups
Put em up shut em up fast whips
From legitimate businesses first class citizens

Chorus

Bridge
Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright

Time equals money and moneys in my head
Everybody saying theyd be better off dead
Whos they whats this seems kinda ludicrous
Pump ya fists if you know just what im saying
Get down on our knees and start praying
Maybe thugs will just stop spraying
I know its not realistic im just saying
Everybody stand up and stop playing
