I am blessed to be alive
Made it out I survived
Where I'm from it's do or die
Tell the kids to stay inside
Day light them bullets fly
Ain't get a chance to live
But these kids lose they life
Some about that shit ain't right
Contemplating late at night
Should I speak give advice
Would it reach am I wise
Make them think at least twice
Realize it's more to life
Than the shit that's on the block
It ain't cool to be that hot
Burning cities it won't stop
This is for my burning city
My city burning
So many burning cities
Lord
My people hurting
As I sit and mediate
I await for better days
Hands together and I pray
That your pain alleviate
Stick together keep the faith
Hard times oh no we don't break
This ain't weed so we can't shake
I'm Not kidding, I don't play
Life balanced Ying yang
Nintendo no game
Fuck the tech use your brain
Detached and go sane
Pop the pill leave the matrix
This that real I can't fake it
Spiritual solider I'm awaken
No more souls will be taken
This is for my burning city
My city burning
So many burning cities
Lord
My people hurting
I am blessed to be alive
Made it out I survived
Where I'm from it's do or die
Tell the kids to stay inside
Day light them bullets fly
Ain't get a chance to live
But these kids lose they life
Some about that shit ain't right
Contemplating late at night
Should I speak give advice
Would it reach am I wise
Make them think at least twice
Realize it's more to life
Than the shit that's on the block
It ain't cool to be that hot
Burning cities it won't stop
The City Burning Cause They Don't Learn
They Want To Take When They Don't Earn
The Scripture Say That God Eventually Exalt The Humble
But these young ones rather rumble let the metal burn
Truly sad
How the system eliminates a dad
Sugar coat it with the latest fad
A Shoe box full of cash
And now hood full of straps
Make it make sense
Gentrified double the rent
Pistol a young one defense
Can never white picket the fence
Impossible to get a loan or advance
Only if you ball
Only if you trap
Only if you rap
Only way to a Benz
Damn
This verse was so imperative
SLD and Vibeking here to change the narrative
This is for my burning city
My city burning
So many burning cities
Lord
My people hurting
I am blessed to be alive
Made it out I survived
Where I'm from it's do or die
Tell the kids to stay inside
Day light them bullets fly
Ain't get a chance to live
But these kids lose they life
Some about that shit ain't right
Contemplating late at night
Should I speak give advice
Would it reach am I wise
Make them think at least twice
Realize it's more to life
Than the shit that's on the block
It ain't cool to be that hot
Burning cities it won't stop
