City S On Fire lyrics

Burn
my cit`s on fire
burn
modern day tragedy
crim 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 themselfes
that`s they way it`s gotta be
dont 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 babylone 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
notter than the flames of hell
straight scorching me torchin` me
dirty ash tray dreams
busting up scenes
its 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 slaughter house and we`re the fucking cattle

[chorus]
feel it

soul shake down
headed for a breakdown
my town your town
it`s about to go down throw down
forget about tomorrow
cuz you cant 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
sentencedto 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
no where to run
no where to hide
eventually the other side will catch me slippin` on the trip wire
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
