Is there anyone close.. by.. who can listen to this?

And who can see it.. plain as day

Look how it FALLS down

Falls down upon everybody!

This is it



[Lateef]

Looking, over a city, that's gritty, and rather pretty

A pity, it's hard to find, but inequity, cover

every itty bitty square diamond of jiggy

They givin ??, up to woodsy

manipulatin they minds in the alleyways

These dizzy and shitty rats, the sizes of kitty-kats

They cross paths when traffic subsides; somewhere

some brothers is overstandin on a hot black rooftop

Freestylin for they GOT damn lives, the spirit, it gets live

and answers the question why God blessed the Earth

But, buildings block out the sky, and the children

are oversexualized, media-wise, brutalized by parents

at the tender age of five, in front of they siblings wide-eyed

Nah not surprised, just the real scene regularly

Up in between the lies, try to put it together GET

they pieces of the pie, hope they clever and tough

Make it better before they die, plant the next seeds

somewhere in the South Bronx, or Patterson ??

The baddest with sharp chomp, to splatter when mouths-off

Retali' and swear he could damage em Dunn

but that will shatter his Mom's faith

in the art that she burns, herbs and candles of perm'

It's hard to call it see cause times change and the world turn

Some end up slangin dope, some end up strung out

on coke and sherm, some party every night for the rest of they life

and some learn, go corporate all professional rhetoric

with sensational glory, let me tell you all one day

that it is it ain't boring, and so hard to ignore it

Cause any day in this fork, that they callin New York

Based on nothin b
