Burn My city's on fire Burn Modern day tragedy Crime on the rise Police brutality My reality's B-A-D Cuz the F-A-C-T of the matter's Getting sadder
Check it No unity in my community Everyone for themselves That's they way it's gotta be Don't think twice in this false paradise One step ahead Or you'll end up dead
Burn up, burn up My city's on fire Step the fuck back That flame's getting higher Bleed with me, bleed with me Bleed with me Forever now Done my time in a world fulla crime It's my turn to watch Babylon burn Bleed with me, bleed with me, bleed with me
Now you gotta pray to god cuz it's on Defeat from the street Now I know I've been beat burning from the heat Hotter than the flames of hell Straight scorching me torchin' me Dirty ashtray dreams, busting up scenes It's everyone and everything The effect is direct and clean, from the peasant to the king No way out, this battle's more than we can handle The town's a slaughterhouse and we're the fucking cattle
Soul shakedown Headed for a breakdown My town, your town It's about to go down, throw down Forget about tomorrow Cuz you can't pay back all the time that you borrowed It's too late, on streets of hate you await your fate I tell you brother you were gone from the gate Just another kid swallowed by the streets and retired I can smell the smoke shit my city's on fire
We were cursed from birth, incarceration planet Earth Sentenced to die and smile on the face of the outcry Criminal-minded blinded, I'm barely getting by Reminded, constantly I'm nowhere that I want to be Cuz it's real in this battle field Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Eventually the other side Will catch me slippin' on the tripwire
I can smell the smoke Shit, my city's on fire I can smell the smoke Shit, my city's on fire I can smell the smoke
