This town's so hype it's got soul

As a Philly cat

I'm with the roll

And the swing of my things

How they work like clockwork

Tick tock tick tock

Times aways lurking in your head



Got to go to work and get fed

That man didn't eat but he goes to sleep

Gets up at dawn not to see the sunrise

But because it's too damn cold outside

Underneath the bridge they pump the city's bilge

Into the alley they sweetp the city's filth

The flowers wilt the flowers wilt

Don't tell me about no game

Cause that is a man

And his family

Revolution family

Look at the family

Dig the family

They're living the wrong way

Can't get nothing

Don't get nothing all they wanted was

Something like a job -- mercy mercy

But its robbed -- mercy mercy

And there's so many street side

Beggars and disabled veterans

Glass-eyed and peddling

Drunk and just meddling

So you conclude it's their fault

They like the street they must like the asphalt

But that is man woman and children

The system has stalled shelter's home

That's not what I call it

I call it bad health

Some say help themselves

Yo if you you gots it



Everyone hundred people a dollar in change

Everyone hundred people a dollar in change



This ain't living

This ain't living

Oh no



You know it's rough, had enough fo holding a

Cup full of spare change

The doctor diagnosed me as a

Dome full of bad brains

So, toe to toe with employers

Cause they're telling me no

Hooked on prescription drugs

So I stay broke, I'd run away

But you can't run away from



Y
