timothy welbeck - no city for young men: the afterthought lyrics

verse 1
i live where patriots put cracks in the liberty bell/and vagrants are selling crack in the places we dwell/instead of bicycles, our kids are playing with sh-lls/not the clams and mollusks ocean waves will expel/i’m talking glocks you pop when you’re spraying to k!ll/you can say what you will, but what i’m saying is real/jay elec said it’s “cecil b, broad street/diamond, master, north philly, south philly, tasker”/and you don’t even have to go ask ‘em/that’s where shawtys will shoot you on the usual/that’s why i say, part of philly looks like falluja/every where you will go there’s a ghetto that you can know/even india said, “west virginia could be kenya”/and part of havana reminds her of savannah/that’s why i use my stanzas, to raise up standards/so we can do what we can, and stop throwing our hands up

hook

verse 2
there’s a reason why people without wherewithal lay/in dilapidated buildings filled with aerosol spray/smog and disease, and the fear of terror all day/our society has told them that there is their fate/there is their place/there is their way/the beggar and the leper together there with the lame/from the depths of squalor to beds of funeral parlor, the forgotten sons and daughters sequestered away/and fester in decay/neglected and bearing their shame/but for them a blessing awaits, there is some grace/for on those boulevards, on those streets, deep on the avenues/the son of god trod, while his feet were p-ssing through/in the leviathan that thrives to dine on men/the son of the most high is nigh to them if they draw nigh to him/in this godlessness that demolishes the metropolis/the son of god is, and he walks amongst the populous
