[Hook]
This city's a Gutter a dead mans land
Trying to find a way out to avoid the trap
Six million gorillas can we live like that?
The question has no answer
Look around do the math....
[Verse]
It s the Gutter A-T-H-E-N-S
Athens city walk through the streets it's a test
Temptations for the mind temptations for the flesh
Temptations just the beginning realitys a stress
I seen misery walking theres no question for that
The question is how to avoid from falling in the trap
I speak it through rap but i've lived been in the trap
No way to attack
Looking out my window an everything Black...
Captivity ,disability with no ability
Its my responsibility for creativity
Need the better me the inner me to gain ma liberty
Confront the enemy don't feel no pity or sympathy
Victory forget the past yesterdays history
Focus on today tomorrows a mystery
Concentrate on your mistakes look in the eyes to see the fake
Believe in those who stay awake
Cause what u give is what u take
Power to the people power to the brain power to maintain
Not the power that drives you insane
Seen em numb drug sedated with no vision to gain
Speaking to their shadow living nameless
It's a shame...Get the f** up
You only live once life ain't a game
I been chasing ghosts in alleys came back with scars and pain
In order to breath in the Gutter gotta suffer in vain
It's so simple an plain so difficult to explain
After all said an done though the question still remains
Can we live like that ?
Its an Athens state of mind
Can we live like that ?
Its an Athens state of mind
Can we live like that ?
Its an Athens state of mind
Can we live like that ?
Its an Athens state of mind
