[Verse 1]
It's getting worse, people cutting at night
No guns so they use a knife
Still other weapons state subsidized
They make it happen, they get to strapping
Cold metal what happened inside
Won't stay alive for no one's benefit
Same reason I refuse to die
And I'm waiting on the red line

[Chorus]
In the city and I'm ready to fight
K-9, ready to bite
Unaffiliated, born to fight
My city ain't ready to die

[Verse 2]
You could see it in the dead of night
Cuffed up, none of 'em white
One of them flinched and the cops got tight
Clutching clubs, they told 'em wassup
City sweeps all but the blood
Stained up, no one to clean it up
Bodies give a fuck but bodies gotta duck
Shitty luck but now I'm buck 'cause
[Chorus]
I'm in the city and I'm ready to fight
K-9, ready to bite
Unaffiliated, born to fight
My city ain't ready to die

[Verse 3]
This artifice of a midnight
TV LED sky
When the truth's on, tell me what time
All I see is paid programmings
All I feel is paid programmings
You ain't shit, yeah, I ain't shit, yeah
Tired of the violence, I'm smiling
Keeps me shining, waiting on sunshine

[Bridge]
All my family caught in the fight
All my young ones feeling the blight
They got pots, they pissing in 'em
We got none, we coming for some 'cause

[Chorus]
I'm in the city and I'm ready to fight
K-9, ready to bite
Unaffiliated, born to fight
My city ain't ready to die
'Cause I'm in the city and I'm ready to fight
K-9
