alex jones - city never sleeps lyrics
[intro]
yeah
[verse 1]
if life’s a game, i’m playin’ it, i’m rollin’ the dice, i’m colder than ice
i’ll die with the weight of the world on my shoulders holdin’ a soldier’s pride
melbourne city, insane wordplay
peeps on g flown out like cake on your birthday
he’s gettin’ stomped on the curb ten times, make the surface shake like an earthquake
and i ain’t gettin’ better
mates all locked up, speed gettin’ rocked up
served to the fiends and the teens get knocked up
if you ask me, that’s what’s up
some dudes ain’t heard of the light
they’re stuck on left, never turn to the right
it’s h+ll, burnin’ bright, burglars, fights
kids gettin’ shanked up, served with a knife, urns in the night
crime pays what you pay, murder’s the price
if you’ve never been around this sh+t, i’m just tellin’ you how it is
[hook]
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
[chorus]
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, the city never sleeps
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya stabbed
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, it ain’t all pretty
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya stabbed
[verse 2]
starts from nothin’, havin’ a crack at it
goody goody type develops a bad habit
six months down, veins actin’ battered
nice, young girl turnin’ to a smack addict
the cash turned to rackin’ to backstabbin’ a fan, d+mn
how? how does that happen? explain to me
how someone’s life can end so painfully
darkness creeps as a carcass sleeps
kids on shard stay charged for weeks
sittin’ in a room as they hardly speak
just toke on rocks till they can hardly see
[hook]
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
[chorus]
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, the city never sleeps
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya stabbed
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, it ain’t all pretty
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya stabbed
[verse 3]
anyone, bring it, i’m starvin’ for beef
i’m packed with verses, armed to the tee
i’m carvin’ a market of beats in your face
till triple sixers are scarrin’ your cheeks
‘cause sh+t gets evil, spit so lethal
hit if you thinkin’ we’re equal, we’re not
what? you comin’ in second like a sequel
i’m a unique individual
scale up two beats, hit the digital
wait up, move, we quicker criminal
make enough in two weeks to get my cake up
then wake up, blaze up my taste buds
maintain and repeat like a ritual
these streets are gritty as f+ck
innocent kids get shived for a buck
fiddy and a packet of winnie cigars that show no pity in the so+called city of love
show no pity in the so called city of love
[hook]
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
if you’ve never been around this sh+t
i’m just tellin’ you how it is
[chorus]
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, the city never sleeps
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya shanked
don’t be naive to the streets
‘cause it ain’t all pretty, it ain’t all pretty
crime sweeps from the burbs to the flats
trust me, just a few words can get ya shanked
