The City Freestyle

[Verse: Algernon] You can’t see no angels Cuz the clouds reflecting back All the lights that’s shining up Give the city that cold mask Like Doom, we’re doomed The end will be coming soon And now I’m stopping to think Of all the shit I just couldn’t do You’re lost when your caught up in it I coulda been another statistic Woulda labeled me as a victim But it’s the condition of the system That we’re living, were given From the course of a future vision From a bunch of politicians With revolution as their mission See we are just a product A purchase and we’re caught up In the gears of the years In a time that’s finally caught us It’s locked up, or starving Or shot up and forgotten Tossed aside like a broken product If you ain’t moving then you boxed in A coffin for you to lay in A promise for you to pray in But if they’re lying to your face Then you believe and they’re betraying We’re the soldiers in their battle But they only see us as cattle To break a fragile spirit Break its back underneath your saddle They promised us the angels When they set us out to pasture But they set us up for slaughter And we didn’t know til after We heard the fallens tears We turned our eyes to the sky But the sky wouldn’t shine no light And another young angel died [Hook] Cuz we can’t see them out here So we’re not breathing out here Desperation in the eyes of the millions left behind Left to fall left to die cuz they never taught us how to fly Cuz we can’t see them out here So we’re not breathing out here Desperation fear the only feelings that persevere No more breathing stopped believing cuz no angels come out here in the city
