City Lights

Lyrics

[Intro] I walk in the streets and I ask him Asked him a question is this a war going on out here What you see out here is just one of the fires now blazing Now raging across the city we got here first Some ten minutes before the fire crews arrived And they obviously got a lot on their hands I'd like to do this poem for y'all tonight It's called city lights I wrote it on a rainy day [Chorus] Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn burn Burn ho Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn burn Burn ho Look how pretty the city lights are [Verse 1] If I light this fuse right We can watch the flames dance under the moonlight As the smoke swirls and twirls like the Chacha The building disappears like Walla You see we had a community leader But the government killed him When they found him they killed him in front of his woman and children They ain't hide shit is was nothing to shield 'em Just publicly filled 'em with a slug to the grilled 'em Humble till they swum the stilling That's why we at this government building Throwing Molotov's at it for our brother Burning before another holocaust happened When my nigga fell I see all of y'all clapping Now it's your turn to hit the trail give 'em a trip to hell I'ma send all of y'all packing and wish 'em well A lunatic like a disease driver giving you a lift I'm Uber sick I'm sick in the mind cuz I'm sick of being treating like My skin is a crime now the enemies mine yeah I went from NSA to the military kind Cuz they killing us over a nickel and dime Killing us 15 sin at time Pyromaniacs you made us Now that corn house is blood is getting blazed up [Chorus] Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn Burn hope Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn Burn hope Look how pretty the city lights are [Verse 2] They calling me an arsonist But when I strike 'em at your draws a flame I'm on my artist shit Where were you when we was drinking water full of arsenic From your pipeline causing a lifetime of retarded kids Up in your big house chilling without a doubt When my homie was on the street blood spilling up out his mouth Robocop standing over him with a smoking gun Poking fun at the hole in his lung That's why we sticking you cowards out of our hood Out of our sight comedy out of our pain mockery's out of our strife My life, my life I just want to survive in this crazy world Bullets want to stop me from reading stories to my baby girls So it's bandanas over the face as I firebomb the precinct So much smoke you damn made me hurl Then I stumbled outside so I could enjoy the fireworks Fuck the empire we riders [Chorus] Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn Burn hope Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby burn burn Burn hope
