Inna City Mamma

Lyrics

[Intro] New York, just like I pictured it Skyscrapers and everything Your big city love crushed me into a pulp I trusted you [Verse 1] When I loved you from a distance And your skyline made me a promise In my safe world to be somebody In your city to own your streets Where I'd strut covered in money Shattered dreams; it ain't funny [Pre-Chorus] Now I look at you with tears in my eyes The good the bad the ugly As I start to cry, I search for the sky Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, they're coming [Chorus] Inner city mama, you bore another child To be a victim of your cold blooded ways Inner city love, from the gutter So destructive when you sing your blues [Verse 2] I wanna love you, baby, I don't mean maybe, baby But I need everything you got (You can't break your promise) I'm inner city hunger, you think you're tough, I'm stronger If you're weak, I'll eat you up I'm gonna touch you where you've never been touched before And by your spine I'll bruise your veins and touch your very core [Pre-Chorus] Let my concrete be your red carpet My shooting galleries, your personal starship Give me all your dreams, this city loves you Use my roots to deliver your body Under my skies where you make your money You rejected love, but this city loves you [Chorus] Inner city mama, you bore another child To be a victim of your cold blooded ways Inner city love, from the gutter So destructive when you sing your blues [Instrumental Break / Piano Solo] [Chorus] Inner city mama, you bore another child To be a victim of your cold blooded ways Inner city love, from the gutter So destructive when you sing your blues Inner city mama, you bore another child To be a victim of your cold blooded ways Inner city love, from the gutter So destructive when you sing your blues [Outro] Inner city love, inner city mama Inner city love, you hurt me Inner city love - real bad Inner city love You meant to love me (Inner city love) and you cut me up (Inner city love) Into too many little pieces But I wanna love you (Inner city love, inner city love) I trusted you (Inner city love) And you crushed me (Inner city love) into a pulp (Inner city love) Inner city mama
