smile city

Smile city is slummin-something is really wrong. Sound silly like really on psylocib-e-on No room tomb sized living small Church choir mosque bells same block same hell Common en-e-my, common poverty Common hunger please gimme karma can we eat Got a million heads in a mile of streets Caught in small world too many peeps Man selling water for a dollar that he cannot drink Women stick together stuck with HIV Children picking trash trynna find some meat Bones carved alone for a living barely eked Dogs in a pile skinny all gone to sleep Smiles all I see still smiles all I see Must be something wrong with me Why I'm never flashing teeth Orphan boy Polaroid stole the toy from his neighbor He don't ask for paper, he don't ask for water He asks for my watch say he wants to look famous Tummy rubbing cousin just want something for starvation And here I am thinking I knew what-its-like-to suffer I'm a lucky fucker Still I'm fuckin puzzled How the city slummin more lovin than the top How they stick together riches driving us apart All the money in the world maybe we be poor at heart I seen a broke man share and a rich man not I seen a gang-sta care while the presi-dent golfs If life seem unfair first check what you got Cause the people who got nothin never show it all. Huh. (1:34) Smile city, smile smile smile city. X8 (1:56) Look. These paths are paved with plastic While yours are paved with gold Highway coming, trading people for a road Wolf blowin houses made of straw How the… president goin help em when elected by the mob I write my wish to right the riches wrongs, To fight with fists up, to tear the walls down, Stick, up for what's right, n to be heard loud, But, the bigger problem here, ain't even around The tribes were separated by outsiders to the land Some were given power while the rest suppressed and killed But even those with power still controlled by western hands How the fuck we going be proud to be the cause of all these deaths Oh we think we civilized because we are the west But I ain't seen more civil eyes than those with nothing left all I see are dimple smiles from those who live with less. Bless. Smile city. Smile smile smile city. X4
