Life in the City

Life in the city got me longing for the simple life Far away from the noise and the glare of the lights Miss the sound of crickets, the wind and the river In the concrete jungle chasing after little slivers A piece of this pie that I can call mine Share it with my kids as we push through the grind Down to the rind, till my bones turn to the dust While the world rots away in a pile of its junk Yuck, turned off by the glamour Bring the rage of Thor when I drop my hammer Shake the room so hard got you pissing in your Pampers Growing mold with a stench left dying in a hamper Don't stammer, let me fill in the blanks Rolling through this game like a fleet of heavy tanks Got a few surprises when I call in the flanks Tell my boys go wild as they storm through the banks Rush rush rush we forget how to stop Information overload, watch the drip drip drop Slaves to the clock, watch it tick tick tock Slaves to our vices from the booze to the rocks Zombies all around me trying to keep them from my family Boarding up the windows got to sharpen my machete Breaking down doors I just throw them my phone The screens will suck away what's left of their soul Trying to hit the road but the tank on E Trying to stack some cream but debt collectors calling me Charge it to the system as I move this money round Play the long game watch me flip it to the crowds Y'all don't see the grind, y'all just see the shine Stay attracted to the bling I melt metal with these rhymes Pack the punch of 60 million power lifting midgets I stole that line from Gro while he got his kicks from Gidget
