Anacostia Lyrics by Lionize

The Voyage

2016

Well I was walking in Capitol Hill, where you're welcome to go and nobody gets killed
A quaint spot where the cherry trees grow, where there's no need to lie 'cause there's no need to know
All the stories made you tremble & shake, this fairytale from some enemy state
Don't look down at the reflection again at the edge of a river you can see them spin

[Hook]
Helicopters over blue skies
Just like doctors with bad medicine
Anacostians were menancin'
And whatever you do, don't let them in

Mad-Dog felonionus, the murderous wretch was the worst of them all and here's what he said
"It ain't the people that you see on the block, it's the ones in the suits behind doors that are locked
They aren't lurking in the workings of the night, but they walk in the day, they hide in plain sight
There's no promise now, there's no way to win, you sealed your fate and you've thrown them in

[Hook]

Let me hear you say, "bad medicine"
Bad medicine

[Hook]
Helicopters over blue, blue skies
Just like guarddogs watching presidents
And only right now is relevant, so whatever you do just keep taking your medicine
Helicopters over blue skies [x5], bad medicine
