I seen the news they talking sex trade at skyline Al Shabab on west bank Killings on the north side Politicians calling my line These gangs are smaller but they still bang Coming out of school You get bored and hang ......... Empty houses every block - They rent and don't care Swiss cheezing up our city like they want the mice there And the rats they follow Summer time these people act numb They go dumb And make the neighborhood feel like a slum...... The same house for weeks The same porch for months The same mail man for years What's it like to want Feel you deserve better and you do You go and get it Options are a problem on the poorest credit....... It's true Where I'm from we have seasons and the temperature swings Don't expect we're all the same See what those temperatures bring Other week I heard a story bout the resurgence of kings We going back to the eighties And we been feeling the sting...... Better late than never They say we talking too loud With all the ties you've severed I couldn't stand up so proud With all those bridges burning down I wouldn't stand so near I wouldn't stand so near I would have ran from here Gotta find your level Just keep your feet on the ground "Big trucks, best when it's cold out And they pulling up in front of your house...." In the winter it's colder and we slower Trucks pulling up to curbs Speakers can be heard out to the suburbs The snow falls and rims gone The salt down and food shelf open Dorothy day If you can come in you are served ........ My neighbor stole the copper out his own house then left So it sat a couple years Nobody wants a project Next door they couldn't sell so they stayed Nothing like feeling stuck, to make you feel the weight......... Nothing so great about recession Too much regression. Too much aggression Too much of stressing May we take the lesson That if it's too much to pay We only get what we can take and live to fight another day...... Shoveling the sidewalk to keep it clear for kids to play Wash the ride every day to keep the road salt away When the spring comes around and the news picks up I don't want to have to feel the need to put a fist up.........
