City's On Fire

Burn

My city's on fire

Burn

Modern day tragedy

Crime on the rise

Police brutality

My reality's B-A-D

Cuz the F-A-C-T of the matter's

Getting sadder

Check it

No unity in my community

Everyone for themselves

That's they way it's gotta be

Don't think twice in this false paradise

One step ahead

Or you'll end up dead

Burn up, burn up

My city's on fire

Step the fuck back

That flame's getting higher

Bleed with me, bleed with me

Bleed with me

Forever now

Done my time in a world fulla crime

It's my turn to watch Babylon burn

Bleed with me, bleed with me, bleed with me

Now you gotta pray to god cuz it's on

Defeat from the street

Now I know I've been beat burning from the heat

Hotter than the flames of hell

Straight scorching me torchin' me

Dirty ashtray dreams, busting up scenes

It's everyone and everything

The effect is direct and clean, from the peasant to the king

No way out, this battle's more than we can handle

The town's a slaughterhouse and we're the fucking cattle

Soul shakedown

Headed for a breakdown

My town, your town

It's about to go down, throw down

Forget about tomorrow

Cuz you can't pay back all the time that you borrowed

It's too late, on streets of hate you await your fate

I tell you brother you were gone from the gate

Just another kid swallowed by the streets and retired

I can smell the smoke shit my city's on fire

We were cursed from birth, incarceration planet Earth

Sentenced to die and smile on the face of the outcry

Criminal-minded blinded, I'm barely getting by

Reminded, constantly I'm nowhere that I want to be

Cuz it's real in this battle field

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Eventually the other side

Will catch me slippin' on the tripwire

I can smell the smoke

Shit, my city's on fire

I can smell the smoke

Shit, my city's on fire

I can smell the smoke
