Live Percenters - Science of the City lyrics

rate me

Been outside in the war with the corner store Ford

New courts and post up

Hustle dummy rock, the crumby block

It’s the people who want it more when they fiending for that good stuff

What they got was some bread with the crust all rough

Way that Michael Ray bag it sealed shut

But I bounce with you Bluetooth tucked away in my shoe

And be back again tomorrow, that’s the science of it

The vegetation, the poverty reached troubled

They had children, nobody’s tried to raise them

So the route passed on when the street went on

Looking for some crumbs to go and swipe up

Petty crimes, forgetting dimes, always seem to be in some type of Ville situation

But when the guns go off, be it dubs or cops

Another one’s gone, life wasted

Yes, yes, y’all, got a lot from my chest

Bless, bless y’all, I can feel the city breathing

The new moon roll hot in the corners of the metropolis

Shining like one on top of this

Nobody’s stopping this, too much velocity and mind power to be slaving by the hour

Running around the same dollar and it makes no sense

How many times you at this bar? How many drink you had at that bar?

Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes in an hour

What’s the science, what’s the math

Moses had a staff and he parted up the seas

But they got us outside selling chacha and Mickey Ds

Is this why fathers plant seeds? And mothers grow trees?

My uncle tells me keep a couple decks under my sleeve

‘Cause if you don’t, someone will and that you best believe

Science of the city and the city can’t sleep

The city can’t eat, survival ain’t cheap, city blocks are always steep

And city lights don’t help you see but knowledge reigns supreme, yo

The true philosophy, it ain’t about a salary, it’s all about reality

Open apple, end, that’s a new day

Can’t get the raise ‘cause the flave’ grade A to the grave

They slave to get paid, I shine like glow sticks at a rave

Without tossing cash this or that way

Another café, they another raw, that made helps consciousness

Because we whiling, becoming more hoarse, we only get stronger

I fear my only courage, my hope, my hunger

My understanding the man when I lend a hand

When my fam and friends in jam, hammers jamming, Uncle Sam’ing them

Megaphone rang and they planning the ram and glamming

We all know how that circumstance ends

Change filters on like I’m Instagraming, sounds check, stage racks

‘Fore they bring the fans in

Science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

That’s the science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

See the signs, it’s a pity

Science of the city, y’all

That’s the science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

See the signs, it’s a pity

Science of the city, y’all

That’s the science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

See the signs, it’s a pity

Science of the city, y’all

That’s the science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

See the signs, it’s a pity

Science of the city, y’all

That’s the science of the city, y’all

Science of the city, y’all

See the signs, it’s a pity

Science of the city, y’all
