City of Grime

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo [Hook] Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids Come on Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids [Verse 1] Welcome to the city of grime where all vision is blind You'll find much more than I spit in this rhyme No limits, homeless live for a drink of the wine And some work full time to gain a kink in their spine Whеre drugs are easy to find, weed trees arе inside Graffiti signed up, everywhere minds compete with designs The streets and the lines, can't be seen in the night 'Cause out here everyone wants a piece of the pie Where people are divided but still take the same path Where some sit all day just to watch a train pass Where some drift away and sit and hate glass Teach 'emselves ambitions and set the goals that they pass Some create masks just to hide behind But me? Nah, I just make bars just to write a rhyme So decide your time 'Cause when the streets die at night you're the only one that can find the light [Hook] Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids Come on Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids [Verse 2] In this place I see a space sorroundin' me You see a limited capacity and a habitat of boundries I see the ground we walk on is allowed to keep Territories, we explore the streets when you sound asleep You see a thousand reasons why the youth is out of reach I see a bunch of lost souls not allowed to speak You see drugs that are sendin' 'em savage I see confused minds being dependent on habits 'Cause you see a polluted drain pipe I see the illusion of paint dryin' in the movement of daytime If you see vandalism I see hands with rhythm That spray lines and brighten faded crates on your train ride Visions are different, some stranded in terror What's one man's junk is another man's treasure 'Cause crime is a way of life, but nothin's free So make a mistake and pay the price Some spend their days and pray to Christ Others develop ways to blaze a mic or a pipe Some don't know whether it's day or night Timed addicts, 'cause drug habits have claimed their life And it's more than rough when you see kids that used to look up to you skip school to score a bud And loudmouths like to talk it up And junkies get a taste of the drugs When they can't afford the rush, it sucks [Hook] Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids Come on Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids [Verse 3] 'Cause out here everyone's got a mind of their own And each one of mine is different, every rhyme that I've flown And times are known now to watch your step talkin' threats Puttin' force to your thoughts to ensure your rep The war progresses into a glory match Train tracks so paint patterns illustratin' a story left Before it's red, different inside set the story And crews head forth to set their floors and their territiories In a city that never dies it's never boring Welcome to my world, the mental ward I was stored in Even just for talkin' the law can be bought in So we dwell in tunnels where the storm water pours in And it's sort of awkward with no warning When kids use the city as a playground to commit more sin So walk in to my world Where b-boys pose in still frames While the four spins [Hook] Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids Come on Everyday here's the same old thing It's a playground Just to stage these sins That's the way that it stays That's the way that it is This is one man at war for the crazy kids
