VERSE 1:
In the veins of the city, lonely but these rats with me //
Have epiphanies while i’m half pissy waiting on a train thats never coming //
Just my luck man //
See under covers and struggling young mothers while my thoughts got me smothered //
On these dirty blue seats plot on profit with my brother //
At 1000 miles an hour under the sewers and gutters //
Seen em gentrify my block and move the n***as out in clusters //
DeBlasio, Bloomberg, Giuliani, got my people ready to post up in Zucotti //
What’s a rat in the race to a fat cat in the lobby? //
Worthless, two quarters short so we’re just hopping the turnstile //
Get summons as yuppies move with their first child //
To park slope, in dark knights city kids spark dope //
And get high as the property value but wish for car notes //
Get high as the property value but wish for car notes //

And they call it new brooklyn
There goes the neighborhood won’t get your chain tooken just your culture
Like getting roses with the scent of sulfur
Head into the tunnels just for a sense of nostalgia

HOOK:
ALL I’VE GOT IS 2.50 AND A DREAM
ALL I’VE GOT IS 2.50 AND A DREAM
AS THEY SWITCH IT UP I HEAR THE CITY SCREAM
AS THEY SWITCH IT UP I HEAR THE CITY SCREAM
I can hear the city scream
I can hear the city scream
I can hear the city scream
I can hear the city scream
