City Life

From that inner city life
Some claim to know me
Say they got the answers
But they never show me
Never listen to our story
Instead they write it for me
They write it for their homies
So they can pretend they know me
Please stop whispering
All that bull shit that you are talking
Telling me that I'm no good
Telling me that I’m the blame for this neighborhood
Telling me that all things will fall apart
Telling me that I'm a loser and I should play the part
But, I know in my heart I'm going to make it
Fist up
First start

Life

Do they care?
No they don’t
Because every time we rise up
They say, no you won’t
Man, they fear our freedom
They fear a world when people realize that we don’t need them
Outer city seems like everybody out to get me
No accountability, no justice
No souls
Just emptiness
Or they’re full of shit
Either way, this is pain
This is insane
Hell with no flames
New chains, but the same gang
But, we will survive
We will survive
We will rise and we will survive
We will thrive and we will survive

Life

We will thrive and we will survive
We will rise and we will survive
We will rise and we will survive
We will thrive and we will survive

Life

We will rise and we will survive
