Sin City
John Legend

To make years, it's obvious

She see the dress it's so obvious

Run from home, after the night we up outta here

Don't go home, cause they just grant me a part of that

All of those drunken nights, and fucking every night

She run her mouth, they can't eat right

Don't read between the line or figure how, how to be white

She smelt the line baby you know you don't need white

Now look what we did now the cops behind us

Ran that red light, did you had to be mileless?

That's the nature, we all know they cocaine kill day

He brought from the scholar letter, get by with this

She stepped into hell, cause when they got cold

Don't look in her eyes, you might see straight to her soul

Don't say yes to that good cause you never know

Cause we lost in that city, with sinners no biggy


I'm here with opened arms, and I gotta

Here is where her heart belongs,

Her heart belongs to me

Here is where her heart

I'm here and I won't go without her

This is where her heart belongs

Should be here with me

Here is where her heart

Beg for mercy day, they won't take me away

Take me away from you

Don't know what I would do

Don't let them starve in vain

Don't let them see our pain

Wash these demons away

Wash these demons away


You are all unwelcome to sin city

Yet the population still increases it's density

And that increases it's intensity

Which increases the propinquity

To complicate your simplicity

No matter your admissity

All for the sake of publicity,

In this city


Huh, bad bitches with ass shots

Use the house as a stash bar

Lexus coup with the rag top

I'm in the loop, on top like an ascot

I used to roam with the halfknots

Kept the afhot just so we can have knots

A lot of niggas see they dreams in the glass pot

Until the judge throw you in that box and watch your ass rot

We broke all the commandments, authentic, I'm hand-stitched

Come spend a day in my hamlet, my city lost, some say it's Atlantis

I went to caj with a tan bitch, francis

She wrote the bloom on the bitch, that's a sandwich

So I ate a like it, haters hate to like it

Sex, drugs and playing dices, those are our favorite vices

But this life will take a toll on you

Well I guess you gotta pay the prices

I know who Christ is, and he never hung with the size

To make my sister save the righteous

By the age 10, we were caged in

Now they raise men, in the stage pens

Fake friends, forgive them for they sins

God bless the city, amen


I'm here with opened arms, and I gotta

Here is where her heart belongs,

Her heart belongs to me

Here is where her heart

I'm here and I won't go without her

This is where her heart belongs

Should be here with me

And now I'm one of the residents

Day walker, none of... but all of the decades

And all of the fucking depotery

And... fucking watching me

Always feel like, I'm almost feel like

Cause I can feel it in the air tonight

I guess some... I wouldn't dare to right

And most of songs I wouldn't dare recite

But I am one in the street tonight

In the city that is as unfair as life.
