City On Fire Lyrics by Emilio Rojas

0

[Verse One: Emilio Rojas]
You smell the holy water burning
It’s hot here, innocents’ll get shot here and the DEA
They got cameras in my building and my block, yeah
But we young spics and we run shit
Uptown where they run piff and they run haze
And they run sniffs by the boatload, they don’t jump ship
God damn, crazy the way we living
We sinning in Jesus pieces but none of us got religion
Fuck all the politicians, none of us even voted
One Election Day come and man, none of us even know it
The way that our people grow is insane
Nothing change, got rosaries by they flags
They hiding drugs by they saint shit
Ain’t repping gangs ‘cause all we repping is pain
Ain’t no blood if you ain’t cutting the vein
[Hook]
Yeah, the city on fire
Yeah, you know the city on fire
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We burn the city down, we burn the city down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We burn the city down, we burn the city down
[Verse Two: Emilio Rojas]
This is just a situation that been occurring here
Babies raising other babies, there ain’t no parents here
Take a certain type of person to get to persevere
Cops robbing the dope spot soon as you swear ‘em in
Yeah, they arrogant, they don’t fear a man
They don’t fear a god, it’s just tear gas
And no tears drop at them funerals when our peers drop
Don’t feel a lot ‘cause we numb ‘cause everything that we done
All I wanted was some benefits and a chick
That I never gotta kick out when I cum, right?
There ain’t a trust, hell yeah it’s changing us
If you starve with us, then you ate with us
Because a hungry man is too dangerous
They got me looking out my window when I’m waking up
Hoping they got nothing that’s aimed at us
[Hook]
