City Cry

[Intro: Erk G] Shit crazy man... Somebody gotta say something... Tired of hearing my city cry [Verse 1: Erk G] Gun shots up in broad day  Serving phines in the hallways  Ain't no feeling like yo day one a switch up on you for some ball play Young kid got big dreams  Fast car sitting on big things  Always said when I get it all  We gone split it all since I was sixteen  Big building and row houses  Tore em down got the city wilding  Thank god for link and public housing  Cuz without that we'll be looting houses  No job gotta hustle hard Wanna work but don't know where to start  Cuz Imma boss I can't have a boss But my pride man can't buy a car  Daughter blessed she got a great fam  Mind wonder in the AM [A.D.] Like if my pops would've been around would my situation be the same shit I talk to him every now and then  [Erk G] Had anger that was back then  [A.D.] Fake niggas steady acting  Heard my city cry and I ain't laughing  [Hook] Hoping that it a get better Praying that it a get easier Constantly watching my people die I've heard my city cry [Verse 2: AD] Shots fired when police come  Another mama lost her only son  Turned out it was a phony gun  You'll hear about about it when the morning come 2 shots in the head  Mom working, got his pops in the Feds  Do you hear me, 2 shots in the head  Protecting and serving?  These officers scared!  You ain't out here living .. So you can't complain .. A lot of things has changed you ain't cool if you ain't gang  I jus pray for change  Young dudes spraying for a name  It's killing day to day, wish they problems David Blain.. BANG, You and lack get killed now you the news  [Erk G] Man Everyday it's a funeral  Jus a statistic a numeral  It's turning my city delusional  Should I Carry its Disputable  [A.D.] These are the thoughts of these juveniles  [Erk G] I'm tired of expecting the usual [A.D.] They coming down that one way what you gone do? [Hook] Hoping that it'll get better Praying that it'll get easier Constantly watching my people die I've heard my city cry
