Heart of the City - eLZhi

In the city can you hear the heart beating fast

Where a young man pulls his heat and blasts

Different cliques

Rival competing clash

They rather take the street than a seat in class

Drugs, wars, thugs, whores

Poor people sleeping on rugs, floors

Drive by shootings, slugs soar

They hit another crib but it plugs yours

No hope, snow, dope is what they slang but hang by they own rope

Spending jail time how you gon' cope

It’s emotional in the heart when alone

Scope out the city

In the city can you see the heart bleeding heavy

Out of towners’ll come they not even ready

Bums pushing on carts sleeves are sweaty

Just listen close and hear it breathing heavy

Narcos, parks strolls, beware of the alleys and dark roads

They say the night can turn the heart cold

Where the lost souls isn’t taught and aren’t told

Gamble spots, ammo shots

Bang bang in the club

Feel the heat in the street the way a candle’s hot

Shorties look up to dealers that handle knots

In the city

In the city can you feel the heart when it thumps

See everything is cool then it jumps

The life that gets pockets feeling looted

Evil hides inside a

You can get grilled, killed, or muted

Court cases, abort places, dealers know fiends

They gotta have it they gotta support

Selling things from rings to

I swear it’s feeling like a heart attack

From the blocks and the streets to where the parks is at

In the city
