Baltimore

[Verse 1: Jay Verze] It's the 410. Yeah, the home of the birds Home of the crime. People sleeping on the curbs I'm dedicated, educated, really means I'm separated from all of the killing and gang violence. Segregated But everybody fail to see the big picture, huh? If you got two ears, you better listen up Yeah. An adolescence in society. I'm trynna give back cuz my city lives in poverty And I will never stop until this music die to me Politicians sitting back and so is the economy Now do that make sense? Feeling like we on our own, and we playing defense We at the Harbor on the weekend. Yeah, you sleeping And when you come into my city, it's a deep end Them foreign people scared to take another peek in Ain't nothing better than the air that we breathe in Shout out to my fans, cuz I need them And we never took a loss, cuz we win And we standing tall. I forever stand true, repping my city cuz you know I'm from.. [Hook] Oh, Baltimore Man, it's horrible Just a little X2 [Verse 2: Bobby Woody] Guess nothing has changed past me being a black kid Not tryna show the world what a rapper is I wanna show the world that anything is possible If I make it farther than Baltimore, I can pass any obstacle From the harbor to the Avenue. There's no place I love better I'm a struggling student rolling with the weather And whether or not you need the money, you don't need it that much Act like a thug, then you'll you die like one I act like a kid, so will I not die? I never took the puff, so am I not high? Baltimore kid tryna make a change That's what my brother said. I'm just tryna make some change There's a bike lane, but no road for an artist The hardest part is tryna figure where the start is And my start goes before Cathedral street Before I was even born, this comes before all of me And it all started with a daydream. I do not know how these things seem Just staring from the window from my apartment Save your light house, we all need one of those When we're lost and can't figure where to start again Oh Baltimore, I feel like I owe you something Brought me in with my mother, but I'll be leaving with nothing Small world? Or is this a small city, huh? Baltimore, Maryland, fuck with me bruh [Speech] Furious Styles: Why is it there is almost a gun shop on almost every corner? Old Bystander: Why? Furious Styles: I'll tell you why. For the same reason, there's a liquor store on almost every corner of the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves. You go out to Beverly Hills, you don't see that shit, but they want us to kill ourselves. Yeah, the best way you can destroy a people. You take away their ability to reproduce themselves. Who is it that's dying on this street everyday? (looks to young, black men.) Y'all Old Bystander: yeah FS: Young brothers like yourselves Young, Black male: What am I supposed to do? Fool roll up, try to smoke me, I'mma shoot the mothafucka if he don't kill me first FS: You're doing exactly what they want you to do
