Midtown fleas and snakes
Crackheads crawling inside to bake
Cold breath wrapped around your face
Hear the silence calling out my name.
In the city
Don't sleep.
Promises left unfulfilled
The streets lost innocent got killed
Nameless bodies fell victim to crime
The neighborhood watch can't keep the time.
In the city
Don't sleep.
Cortez wrap the shoes around my feet.
Eyes froze to the cracks on the street.
Homeless at churches waiting to eat,
Sleep under bridges to escape the heat.
