Tree City Anthem

We’re just some tree city legends that got lost in time
I pray to see heaven every time that I rhyme
And if I die before I defeat the fake and wicked
Take the mic up to my hand and keep killing it
This poem’s a bullet with your name and
I’m on the
I dwell amidst the inter city traffic and my heart’s the weight I push upon and
smoke a black and mild down to the plastic
Poems that I’m flashing, sending overhead
Some hoping that somebody catch em while I’m sitting in my bed
With my mind reflecting on the past and time
Now how my baby brother pass before my seed is born now what the fuck is that
I’m just a sailor on the rhythm of the sea
An angel with a broken wing, my enemy’s the gravity
Flying through the burning trees, weighed down by dreams
Trust the smoke inside the fitted to hide the body from the ghost
That want me is it what it is or is it what it seems to be
The passion in the quest will take your flesh that’s what it seems to me
Pour some for me when I’m on the road it might just empty me
Try to not see beyond until the lord he send for me
We’re just some tree city legends that got lost in time
I pray to see heaven every time that I rhyme
And if I die before I defeat the fake and wicked
Take the mic up to my hand and keep killing it
Steadily dealing with this dilemma called life
I press my palms against the paradox and push it all night
I’ve got to snap every second so my soul can survive
Another unknown hope my hope it never hide
Every second is my section son I got to hold tight
I haven’t got another second I haven’t got another life
Another night to sleep inside a bed of
Or another day to dwell admist the dust my demise
Is a slug I can’t dodge so I’ve got to dislodge
And drink from this death meekly so I live like a god
Baby it’s raining knives outside, I’ve got to run into the corner
Open til the store become a weapon and son
For the story of a peple in the dark, I dig
Amidst the trash for my grandfather’s' ghost, I hid
From high water history drags us under
Leaves only the scent of souls gone now I wonder
Why do we fight against this river I swim
Against the tide because death’s the other side I can’t begin to live life
Until into this river I dive power belongs to god in the dark
I’ve got my pride
So fuck cocking a strap, forget holding a gun
My father’s made of iron and I’m my father’s son
God save me from the bullet of a coward or the pen of a lost child that wants
to play assassin I’m in
The center of a bulls-eye let the arrow fly
Gotta die before I die so I can try to dry the soft eyes of a child who
Of a sister who isn’t
I only lack the kind of love that leaps up from my brother’s battered spirit
Runs red rivers from a wrist
With a nail
Into my chin’s up to heaven lord I want you to swing
And kill me from this curse I’m always rolling and tumbling
Pain ain’t nothing but change and change is my middle name
I’ve got to change lord before I get changed
Pain ain’t nothing but change and change is my middle name
I’ve got to change lord before I get changed
Lord I’ve got to change, Lord I’ve got to change
Only thing I’m scared of is staying the same
Lord I’ve got to change, Lord I’ve got to change
Only thing I’m scared of is staying the same
Lord I’ve got to change, Lord I’ve got to change
Only thing I’m scared of is staying the same
Lord I’ve got to change, Lord I’ve got to change
Only thing I’m scared of is staying the same
And I
I’ve got to keep on
On this path
I’ve got to
Keep talking my way out this
Trap and I
Lord I’ve got to change
When I was a kid I had all these crazy ideas
I wanted to show the world the beauty of our culture
I wanted to give them my hero
