3rd Strike – City’s On Fire

Burn

my cit’s on fire

burn

modern day tragedy

crim on the rise

police brutality

my reality’s B-A-D

cuz the F-A-C-T of the matter’s

getting sadder

check it

no unity in my community

everyone for themselfes

that’s they way it’s gotta be

dont think twice in this false paradise

one step ahead

or you’ll end up dead

burn up burn up

my city’s on fire

step the fuck back

that flame’s getting higher

bleed with me bleed with me

bleed with me

forever now

done my time in a world fulla crime

it’s my turn to watch babylone burn

bleed with me bleed with me bleed with me

now you gotta pray to god cuz it’s on

defeat from the street

now i know i’ve been beat burning from the heat

notter than the flames of hell

straight scorching me torchin’ me

dirty ash tray dreams

busting up scenes

its everyone and everything

the effect is direct and clean from the peasant to the king

no way out this battle’s more than we can handle

the town’s a slaughter house and we’re the fucking cattle

[chorus]

feel it

soul shake down

headed for a breakdown

my town your town

it’s about to go down throw down

forget about tomorrow

cuz you cant pay back all the time that you borrowed

it’s too late on streets of hate you await your fate

i tell you brother you were gone from the gate

just another kid swallowed by the streets

and retired

i can smell the smoke shit my city’s on fire

we were cursed from birth incarceration planet earth

sentencedto die and smile on the face of the outcry

criminal minded blinded i’m barely getting by reminded

constantly i’m nowhere

that i want to be

cuz it’s real in this battle field

no where to run

no where to hide

eventually the other side will catch me slippin’ on the trip wire

i can smell the smoke

shit my city’s on fire

i can smell the smoke

shit my city’s on fire

i can smell the smoke
