John Robinson - City's Flesh lyrics

[Intro] Azaia on the tracks Ya we never come whack Re-Animation Marvel Records Let's Go! [Verse 1: John Robinson] I hate to say it but Crime is the soul of the city Controllin the city From paris to NYC, it's all gritty When things get shifty You can feel a heartbeat in your pulse Cause most to squeezin the toast Violence in the ghettos of the world Sirens of the ambulance I knew she'd never stand a chance Silence is a soul in the still peace We trapped in the belly? Yeah, this is a real beast No strangers to pain and anguish From countless angles, to stories untangled Left mangled Really physical, Mostly mental Ego in my pocket, most humble keystrokes i send you Essential is the vision of greatness To see all evil before it manifests itself and shapeshift We made this from thief in the night to come share it The soul of the city lives on in spirits y'all [Hook] I hate to say it but, Crime is the soul of the city Controllin the city From Paris to NYC, it's all gritty When things get shifty, Look deep inside yourself Y'all I hate to say it but crime is the soul of the city Controllin the City From Paris to NYC, it's all gritty When things get shifty Look deep inside yourself, inside yourself [Verse 2] It's like melodies, we build up Real stuff, most notorious ghettos, mega hood, real rough Future revolutionaries being fed the wrong food No guidance, by supplyin them with everything but truth From inside them The lies go deeper than the eyes of the beholder We're all connected to the supreme the all knower No stories get left untold, we bless they souls For now, but really for later, crack the code Ancient mysteries, and the secrets that are sacred From poverty stricken victims who got stripped naked For they culture, languages, and self respect Then thrown inside the prisons of ghetto U.S And 85% still left dumb, 10% sow the essence We represent that 5 left son, the original man from pangea The land see-er,you can feel the city breath intense ether It gets much deeper [Hook] [Verse 3] Yo, theres a war goin on outside While consiracy dwells inside Propoganda paintin pictures on your mind again Some brothers hold the world in they hand Some hold Heinaken Spit poison for the seeds and they vines again But im not hatin on the next Im here to address Different views that express myself In these oppressed, times A wicked designs, and political crimes Front page new york times, read between the lines It's war what is it good for..? Absolutely nothin, false a**umptions And weapons of ma** destruction Cost lives I'm speaking for both sides We lost Lives Word up, We will Survive [Hook] [Sirens over an absolutely astounding instrumental]
