Blackouts

(Intro: Stephan Marcellus)
Hmm mmm
Mmm

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)
I'm from the city, rich desire to live in (woo)
Glass on the floor breaking out of this (woo)
Cast into projects in shallow end (woo)
Roll power through me; then watch light dispersing (woo)
Pay atten it's in the air tenants (woo)
We been home; now they wanna fix shit (woo)
Being Black's hard; birth, we embrace it (woo)
Tonight we'll finally embrace what we are (woo)
I matter with instrument detect it, I'm done convincing (woo)
Blind eyes can be blind in the darker light, get optics (woo)
We left without, we left out (woo)
It doesn't take an outcast to see these obstructions (woo)
Forced to escape, force to escape (woo)
Displace them, increase rent towards passing (woo)
Rising price en block you can't live on (woo)
The names change but the game always stays the same (woo)
It's so insane (woo)

(Hook: Marcus Orelias)
I've felt so much pain
Government got me going insane
Blackouts

(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias)
Money makes cities more desired to live in (woo)
Officially I been crowned as Hip-Hop's Historian (woo)
Villas we live in, cities will be replacing (woo)
Tech now trumps living conditions (woo)
To drink from the gold chalice, we have to cash in? (woo)
How much longer are we going to be out here, sitting (woo)
The drunk old man still out here, gettin' (woo)
When you under age you think you know what you doin (woo)
I get the pay here is so low you can barely say it's wages (woo)
Cost to live so high you can barely afford cages (woo)
Imaging no scholarships and hiking tuition (woo)
We learn substitution to deal with frustration (woo)
Greed, greed, greed - killing this country (woo)
Debt is one of the worst illnesses, spreading poverty (woo)
Damn, everything is skyrocketing (woo)
Our dollars rip, not stretch, the truth needs repricing (woo)
The next day we'll feel this now, blinds are opaquing (woo)
Zero sounds, dim lights - we hear policing outside (woo)
Inner cities banking our lives on good times (woo)
It's an epidemic worldwide (woo)
It's all inside (woo)

(Bridge: Marcus Orelias)
Ready
(Ho)
Ready
(Ho)
Ready
(Ho)
Ready
(Ho)

(Outro: Stephan Marcellus)
I know laws will break
Like the bones of those in our way
I'm with you here in this war
If I don't march, carry on
Said carry on
If I don't march, carry on
