Livin' In A City
Buddha Monk

[** feat. Bash, Preacher Man:]



[Chorus: ~Preacherman~]

Livin' in a city where no one gives a ugh... never die*

Livin' in a city where no one gives a ugh... never die

Livin' in a city where no one gives a ugh... never die

Livin' in a city where no one gives a ugh... never die


[Bash:]

I was born with a gun in the ghetto

And niggas wanna kill you, when you go to sleep, in ya bed with ya metal

Where police wanna stop you, stash the cracks, hit the pedal

Pop a nigga in the face, that's how shit gets settled

Uh-huh, a town where niggas go look for beef

You can get shot and stabbed on them Brooklyn streets

I can take it back, protection orders, news reporters

Nothing in my pocket but a quarter, no hot water

In my hood we ain't giving up

And we blast off guns dog, cause we don't give a fuck

Bloods with the Crips, and the guns and the clips

And the hoes and the tricks, and the clothes and the kicks

And the bricks and the whips, with the gun and the knife

And the crack and the pipe, with the wife and the dyke

But I'm forced to live in this life, young thugging it

But no one cares until somebody takes my life, why's that?


[Chorus]


[Buddha Monk:]


Look, I'm trying to eat, but you trying to make me use my heat

And lose my seat on these streets where my youngs make beef

I stay discreate while your tongue dumb, stay with leak

I wait for you to creep, with a flesh buster that'll you bleed

Man down, keep no aim on this, comes around

You shut down, want an 187, but you just will lay down

I'm sheriff bingbingbing, hit you in your cabbage, cool the savage

And make sure I let all of you dudes have it

Just got a rude awakening, by the most notorious bastard

Who love red pastures and red bubble gum wrappers

So come on, Chris, I dare you, to what, to wanna go against me

Word up, I son you fucks and leave you stuffed

With a slug left to your gut, no return for you young fucks

And who will give a fuck, huh?


[Chorus]


[Preacherman:]

Son, I'm living, in a time where things are surely changing

Said I'm living, can't even slow down and feel the heart racing

Trying to make a better place for humanity, I fathom thee

But where do we go, to wake up and see

That our existence depends on the soul of you and me?

And not to defend, then there were people sitting

Behind those wooded trees, tryin' to destroy our dreams


[Chorus x2]
