[Verse 1]

On dark pebbled streets where denizens don’t eat

Behind black back alleys, though these valleys, I peep

Beneath brick building, a mountain with flat peaks

Like a tom, on these ticking time bombs, I see

These souls you call lost who call this their home

The same part of town you call the danger zone

Grown-up fuck-ups roaming needles for days

Throwing up on the dais where heroin seats the throne

A woman campaigns; can a heroine overthrow?

Can she inject life into a village of hobos?

Can she build bonds with vagabonds and build

Homes for the homeless; can she not know
There is no hope left, it’s hopelessness

That fuels this mess, this wreck of a city

It’s a pity that a wrecking ball can’t take it all down

Better scars than open wounds i’ve found

[Verse 2]

On shadow-soaked streets where habitants can’t see

Beyond the next day, beyond the debris

Across littered bridges spanning rivers of mud

Lie criminals and victims spilling rivers of blood

Behind it alls more than a mastermind

And behind four walls lies not the last you’ll find:

A politician lies about crime

Till competition sittin in the pen for time
Dying behind bars for tryna cop a dime?

Thats what i sound these bars and why i pen these rhymes

That’s why i found it hard to up and step outside

My soul is tired and my patience is fried

And the mayor's frightened: how they gon treat her?

Cold feet won’t relieve this heated fever

It’s a shame that flame can’t raze this town to the ground

Better scars than open wounds i’ve found


[Verse 3]


A city forged from steel, rusting

Economy sewed, at the seams, busting

Thrusting pelvics of untouched criminals
Touching victims below their abdominals

Abominations breaking the hearts

Of shaking targets whose potential’s phenomenal

But wasted, wonder waning, faith fading…

Another day dies, another life scrapes by

Another morning arrives, shaded by the

Aching pain inside lives fed only lies

Why? do i

Feel like there’s another way

Like if we dared to dream, we might escape this place

We might escape this hate, we might shake off this weight

Like if we dared to dream, our dreams could be embraced

Lets say that A is for ambition

Well Place is an A away from being a Palace

Let’s get from point B to point A, so we can C our eldest

Zzz in peace, then piece together our own future

Can you imagine?

A world made from patches

It would take work but patchwork is just that

And we can make it happen
