Hello Beautiful - Toxic In The City lyrics

rate me

the lights go down we try to hide

those pill that eat you up in side

ink runs right through my veins

it’s toxic in the city

another day goes lookin for victims

i think i’m leavin

i’m takin my ego man i’m driftin

believe me

i’ve had my share of downs

ups seem to take a detour around

opportunity makes no sound

last week i had two dimes rubbin together

this week one needs a sweater

and the other took a step up

ain’t no let up

see ain’t no time like now to feel change

that’s why

ink runs right through my veins

i’m the same dude you caught mid-thought sheildin the flame

from a simple society that sees you between the seams

i miss Dean and Jerome cause they’d know what i mean

i miss Dean and Jerome cause they’d know

the lights go down we try to hide

those pills that eat you up inside

ink runs right through my veins

it’s toxic in the city

i’d live a photo if i could

run down abandon neighborhood

crossed out its where they all belong

it’s toxic in the city

i walk into the street like i’m steppin out a plane

i see the bigger picture

lookin at the detail in the frame

i’m from a place you’d call

a broke down neighborhood

but still i wouldn’t

change it if i could

young minds like mine they know it good

but we never ever seem to let the folk know who should

this look

it give a whole new meanin to cook

and left on the hook to purge

reportin from the valley on the verge of a riot

settin the back row on fire

so quiet

tryin to make that ol’ man into a liar

the lights get brighter as the stash gets higher

but the creep from the bottom’s like the tip-toe of a lion, feel me

the lights go down we try to hide

those pills that eat you up inside

ink runs right through my veins

it’s toxic in the city

i’d live a photo if i could

run down abandon neighborhood

crossed out its where they all belong

it’s toxic in the city

if you don’t see it different then agree to disagree

find a core set it free

leave that law letter be

lose the grip of a tease

feel the breeze blow chill

when you’re gone are your folk gonna drink ’bout him?

or does talk get overshadowed by the walkin

son don’t bluff go all in

if you’re stuck on up and shallow that’s your callin baby

and ain’t no time like the lost to find a gain

yeah, your voice is the loudest

but how many folk know your name, really

the lights go down we try to hide

those pills that eat you up inside

ink runs right through my veins

it’s toxic in the city

i’d live a photo if i could

run down abandon neighborhood

crossed out its where they all belong

it’s toxic in the city (ch.x2)
