In the streets of new york | |
Dope fiends are leaning for morphine | |
The tv screen followed the homicide scenes | |
You live here, you're taking a chance | |
So look and i take one glance, there's a man inside an ambulance | |
Crowds are getting louder, i wonder how the | |
People want to go fight for the white powder | |
People hanging in spots | |
They waited until the blocks got hot | |
And got raided by the cops | |
I'll explain the man sleeping in the rain | |
His whole life remains inside a bottle of night train | |
Another man got his clothes in a sack | |
Cause he spent every dime of his rent playing blackjack | |
And there's the poor little sister | |
She has a little baby daughter | |
Named sonya and sonya has pneumonia | |
So why's her mother in a club unzipped though? | |
Yo that's her job, sonya's mommy is a bar stripper | |
Drug dealers drive around looking hard | |
Knowing they're sending their brothers and sisters to the graveyard | |
Every day is a main event, some old lady limps | |
The pushers and pimps eat shrimps | |
It gets tiring, the sight of a gun firing | |
They must desire for the sound of a siren | |
A bag lady dies in an alleyway | |
She's seen the last of her days inside the subways | |
More and more down the slope, the kid couldn't cope | |
So he stole somebody's dope and a gold rope | |
Now my son's on the run, he's a wanted one | |
Had fun then was done by a shotgun | |
Upstairs i cover my ears and tears | |
The man downstairs must have drank too many beers | |
Cause every day of his life he beats his wife | |
Till one night she decides to pull a butcher knife | |
Blind man plays the sax | |
A tune called he arms on my moms show railroad tracks?many lives are cut short | |
That's when you're living | |
In the streets of new york | |
Baby needs new shoes | |
But his papa uses all the money for booze | |
A young girl is undressed in the back seat of a caddy | |
Calling some man daddy | |
Three men slain inside an apartment | |
All you could see was the sparks when it darkened | |
Daylight broke, cops roll on the scene | |
The drug war, daily routine | |
Gambling spots, just a poor man's jackpot | |
You winning a lot, you get shot | |
The drug dealing fanatics | |
But you don't want no static | |
Cause they got crack addicts with automatics | |
Shoot-outs for a desire for territory | |
A kid got caught in the crossfire | |
A tired mother can't take no more | |
She grab the bottle full of sleeping pills and took about 24 | |
Human beings are laying on the pavement | |
Cause they're a part of a mental enslavement | |
The cop snipers, little babies in dirty diapers | |
This type of life is making you hyper | |
People scouting a torched-out building | |
And got killed when the cold air filled in | |
Is hell really suggested? | |
No more persons arrested, a child molested | |
A little kid says, "yo | |
I got a color tv, cd player and car stereo | |
And all i want is a castle | |
I also got a .38, don't give me no hassle" | |
One kid heads straight for the top | |
And gets stopped and popped by a crooked cop | |
Look behind you when you walk | |
That's how it is in the streets of new york |
In the streets of new york | |
