Emilio Rojas - City On Fire lyrics

[Verse One: Emilio Rojas] You smell the holy water burning It's hot here, innocents'll get shot here and the DEA They got cameras in my building and my block, yeah But we young spics and we run sh** Uptown where they run piff and they run haze And they run sniffs by the boatload, they don't jump ship God damn, crazy the way we living We sinning in Jesus pieces but none of us got religion f** all the politicians, none of us even voted One Election Day come and man, none of us even know it The way that our people grow is insane Nothing change, got rosaries by they flags They hiding d** by they saint sh** Ain't repping gangs ‘cause all we repping is pain Ain't no blood if you ain't cutting the vein [Hook] Yeah, the city on fire Yeah, you know the city on fire (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) We burn the city down, we burn the city down (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) We burn the city down, we burn the city down [Verse Two: Emilio Rojas] This is just a situation that been occurring here Babies raising other babies, there ain't no parents here Take a certain type of person to get to persevere Cops robbing the dope spot soon as you swear ‘em in Yeah, they arrogant, they don't fear a man They don't fear a god, it's just tear gas And no tears drop at them funerals when our peers drop Don't feel a lot ‘cause we numb ‘cause everything that we done All I wanted was some benefits and a chick That I never gotta kick out when I cum, right? There ain't a trust, hell yeah it's changing us If you starve with us, then you ate with us Because a hungry man is too dangerous They got me looking out my window when I'm waking up Hoping they got nothing that's aimed at us [Hook]
