Think Twice - L City lyrics

You know i could jump from the buildings Balcony to fire escape, laundry line swinging high as apes from a Jungle vine Still it's concrete we chill in small pieces, chug smuggled wine From a kind of grape ive never seen alive Drunk sitting in the skunk tinted summit of a high rise dump junk Just to see it plummet And spat to the streetside flat with a slight decline in where The street slide back to the sealine Provide feed for the rats like cigarette bu*ts, beer caps and mere Scraps And sh** all gets stuck, muck up in the iron grate get it plugged So the sun will only touch twice a day Underside beady eyes red, slime and feces combine where the needy Die Sleeping in a quiet dream Sirens in the night keep a kid awake screaming echo out of the drapes Closed admit artificial light Yellow shine peep it from the sky planes and its a grid Cause we made our lives into little shapes even Get the shakes, cold steps on linoleum late All alone again, schweppes and a oz of puertorican Petroleum stains that glow green leaking through the snow flakes This is no place for a living being I live and breathe what the city is breeding and let it bleed into The beat when im spitting (coates) Its about time that i get at em The idle mind is a playground for the devil You tell them ima dishevel em The first words of a newfound rebellion Operation lights out slothetarians No word from the marriot Nothing is sweet when paychecks from the penthouse Mental house Operation cop chariot or you're moving back to parental's house Come wally season season, smog and sunbeams dry the heat mirage seems To sweep off on the horizon Reach and swat flies with your hand up in the hammock Twyson come strapped with the straw hat, sand from the beaches Bra strap bikini contact dance, peaches Steaming whips jam up the traffic Scan for speed traps, cats with the cannabis weed pa**in a sack Hand to hand, the police absent East to west teens sit on the steps asking hey could you buy a case For me and my friend stranger Aging quickly they chill in the park, take swigs from the mickey and cough Liquor erase dreams In the moon bathed late at night satellites move across deep blue Space As the planet lies dormant Once more i chase sheep through a warm wave keep The fan blades orbit for a faint breeze And the AC absorb it Skyscraper landscape in the same place used to be a forest You learn swift ain't nobody earn this existence and might as well Piss it away Swimmin in a lake of bourbon and citrus mixed up in the surf With some b**hes, searchin for the endless spring break Burn this, how can you return to the city and leave this lake Yo live at its mercy
