audible mainframe - in the city lyrics
[intro]
every night in the naked city
there’s a million stories to be told
remember that next time
you walk by a homeless man
or a millionaire
their story is the reason why
they are where they are today
just like your story is the reason
why you are where you are
[hook]
it’s hard to look up in the sky
no stars in the city
bright lights too much smog
in the city
it’s all rock and roll
s-x and drugs
in the city
and nowhere near enough love
in the city
you wonder why so
much sh-t is wrong
in the city
cause rich and poor
don’t get along
in the city
some people dressing up
making bucks in the city
and other people living
just enough for the city
what a pity
[verse 1]
(sp?) the story
of so many city children
her mother was a base head
her father was in prison
lived with her grandparents
who were far from pay
they raised her right
and made sure that
she got good grades
over the years
her grandfather did p-ss
and her grandmother died
not long after than
now she’s got nowhere to go
she’s thrown in the mix
with a bunch of broken children
that no one bothered to fix
she couldn’t find a man
to settle down and k!ll the pain
so now she ties her hope
and stabs a needle in her vein
what a shame
when an angel
is turned into a vixen
an honor roll student
on the corner turning tricks and
it’s crazy the way the city swallows
up its residents
and on the evening news
the reason why is irrelevant
pick up the paper
and the headline reads
another city girl dead
for doing drugs on the street
[hook ft. exposition, reks]
it’s hard to look up in the sky
no stars in the city
bright lights too much smog
in the city
it’s all rock and roll
s-x and drugs
in the city
and nowhere near enough love
in the city
you wonder why so
much sh-t is wrong
in the city
cause rich and poor
don’t get along
in the city
some people dressing up
making bucks in the city
and other people living
just enough for the city
what a pity
[verse 2: feat. reks]
now raising (sp?)
went in between city lines
gritty crimes
getting convicted
for living out
fifty rhymes
time to be with the third rail
and not enough
pardon us
for the rich we take
we bargain this street
feel it’s the city streets
consume the child in us
so we grow
to the flow of the beat
while sinners, havers you meet
scr-pping you ain’t
true the blues in us
the boys in blue k!ll us
had them almost forgive us
for the avenues we choose
cause options minimal
dribbling drills
mic sk!lls
a life criminal
got to escape sometime
i never see y’all kind
see no evil to throw
boy do i feel bind
traveling man
like stevie on the orange
beantown blocks
or walks on via lawrence
sites enormous but
it’s a small blow
all die expo
in the city, fo’ sho’!
[hook]
it’s hard to look up in the sky
no stars in the city
bright lights too much smog
in the city
it’s all rock and roll
s-x and drugs
in the city
and nowhere near enough love
in the city
you wonder why so
much sh-t is wrong
in the city
cause rich and poor
don’t get along
in the city
some people dressing up
making bucks in the city
and other people living
just enough for the city
what a pity
[verse 3]
boston after dark
ain’t safe for children
these k!llers turn
a white snow
a bl–dy crimson
starving kids
sn-tch chains off your neck
just to eat
so don’t wear that
god d-mn sh-t up in the street
i scuff all my soles
along the spine
of every boulevard
in this fair metropolis
big money boston kids
gentrifying neighborhoods
and n0body’s stopping it
the homeless try in vain
to endure the cold
without an eskimo jacket
or a bolshevic soul
they’re doomed
consumed by the big fun party
let the wild turkey
run free in your body
police har-ss locals
with baritone vocals
peace protests, riots (sp?)
justice, no peace
(there’s no justice in these streets)
i said no justice
no peace
(there’s no justice in these streets)
[hook]
it’s hard to look up in the sky
no stars in the city
bright lights too much smog
in the city
it’s all rock and roll
s-x and drugs
in the city
and nowhere near enough love
in the city
you wonder why so
much sh-t is wrong
in the city
cause rich and poor
don’t get along
in the city
some people dressing up
making bucks in the city
and other people living
just enough for the city
what a pity
