Saw the topic & laughed. 'Cuz in this city of mine
I see 'em gasp, they can't breathe, they need an oxygen mask
Can't stop to relax it's like it's splitting their spine
The pressure they feel won't fit in a lyric of mine
The prize is to live with their foes disguised as their kin
Feels like no future in sight with their eyes on their six
I could've made it poetic, how life shouldn't be still
Would've been a beautiful written but it wouldn't be real
In hindsight, I'm glad I caught a glimpse from the distance
& noticed there's no hope for all the prisons they live in
What's the solution I seek when fear's forever lurking
Innovations had my hopes high, now, it clearly isn't working
I used to think it was them, being too nervous to take it
Overwhelmed by the thought, satisfaction's just a word they created
Then reality hit, all they ever felt was resistance
Between them & I, I .. I really couldn't tell you the difference
'Da fuck is hope.
