One Day As A Lion - Ocean View |
|
blood done been running down streets flood with beats |
|
pepper spray over cracked concrete |
|
so vicious make a rich mans neck split |
|
underworld bout to wreck shit bet this |
|
banks closed stomachs churning |
|
lines and rows cops blastin out church windows |
|
they heard word of two on a terror list |
|
hid in the pews just two city terrace kids |
|
one held a piece just for peace of mind |
|
the other was spittin poems blowin minds |
|
on the picket line |
|
barricades lay cross made with bumpers and burning tires |
|
and you could smell the exhaust |
|
and you could hear the kids screaming don't |
|
play us, too close |
|
you can have the mic or the heater but you can't hold both |
|
and they were both... |
|
and they were both... |
|
ocean of tears rise, rise a flame to tear them down |
|
ocean of past crimes now fill our hearts to tear them down |
|
the water main's cut off panic hit the manor of the |
|
mayor who's soft |
|
word hit the streets that the cops got off |
|
they shook to rhythm of heaters that burned |
|
like claps of thunder |
|
you turn to look at vengeance returned that shatter control |
|
after the whole shock of the news |
|
that a bomb hit the bridge at broadway |
|
gridlock full stop every exit way |
|
from Chavez to main downtown was the same |
|
every corner a flame with lines of people stripped of they clothes |
|
freeze hold up your ID's their houses burned as they watched |
|
the colonel looked at his clock |
|
and they were all... |
|
and they were all... |
|
oceans of tears rise, rise a flame to tear them down |
|
ocean of past crimes now fill our hearts to tear them down |
|
oceans of tears rise, rise a flame to tear them down |
|
ocean of past crimes now fill our hearts to tear them down |
