Deep in the angry city The hatred starts to wake You and the boys and their turf Another chance to take Mom and dad told you Never steal or hate Vandalize to compromise Duties through the night [Pre-Chorus:] Frustrations only grow A face of hatred shows Rivalry is all you know To rule the streets, to run the show [Chorus:] To prove your grounds You proudly take a stance Its time again to fight Its time to dance The hour is here to take a chance Turn back and you take a second glance You wear the uniform That picks your side
You were danger to help Feed your pride Influent leaders Control pressure closes in Fight you must or die commit The final sin [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] Another city boy played with k**ing toys Toys that took his life His mama cries You have nothing left To confess So troubled child You can rest Come tomorrow who'll remember Who'll know you Your stay has become nothing new We've accepted your ways Life in the angry city Where you'll find no reasoning Where you'll find no pity [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
