Locked up inside my metal cage Always tense and filled with rage Above the concrete fields below With you I wanna go, wanna go
Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
Shades on my day I live inside this play
In the city where the misery's abundant Where the pity find sympathy amongst em And the landlord, feel no empathy Where the foul move and get no penalty No remedy or vaccine to numb it out We cut deep, no back team can flush it out So we wander about lost where the streets have no names Cross past, and when we meet it's flammable like propane
This is where the most is not adequant Where you only go as far as your imagining Where the road is longer where your travelling And whutchu given up you'll never get back again Trapped within the lights of the city Where it looks full of life but inside it's all empty And from outside it's all tempting What, it's all lies upon entry
Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
Shades on my day I live inside this play
In the city where it's overdone Where everyword is like a loaded gun Where people take and always owe you one Where we get over, but never roled to come With hoes that live in the cold-ition With folks get exposed, souls is sold for crumbs Where niggas wanna know where you from No mather where you go to, there's nowhere to run
... be prepared for the bumps and bruises
A Man becomes whatever he chooses
The land that never hunger for loose clips
And fans are never above of who's big
The rules are not written...
But better play em right, nigga, you are not exempted
... you are not different
You disposable... you are not depended on.
Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
Shades on my day I live inside this play
Lost angel, searchin' for paradise But wind up melting their wings from high farenheits Can't see their way, blinded by the glaring lights Keep fallin until they finally get scared of heights Keep stallin till they finally get scared of life And fall victim to the snakes and parasites Loose all they spirit and can't bare to fight Swear I can hear it comin in the air tonight...
Locked up inside my metal cage Always tense and filled with rage Above the concrete fields below With you I wanna go, wanna go
Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
