lirik lagu denizen kane – just like water
yo
city is filthy
man is guilty
he would walk on stilts above the blood he’s split
to avoid treading on the souls that he’s k!lled
if he could if he can to keep his eyes closed
until the house of cards that he’s built tilts
and he’s got to shuffle the rubble and then build
cause the cathedrals of steel and gl-ss cannot shield him
he planted the seeds of the deed in the building
the villainous king to the women and children
go and listen in the whistling wind
of the missile and men
who intend their [ ]
with a brace full of traces embrace the end
some swear by sens(/tenc)es some by transcendence
some say intention or a way to hold suspension
some say this second is the last and the first
and there is no other water that will quench your thirst (word)
fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
the fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
yo
the city is lovely
man is ugly
i don’t mind if there’s a mystery
hovering somewhere above me
but clergy that tries to thug me
disturbs me as much as the pol pulling up
outside of the club to disseminate slugs
of the city
pharmaceutical junkies
now i’m convinced that their drugs dispensed
by names they can trust and not by hustlers
and they ain’t fiends the ad on the flat screen
that hold their noses so different from the boys on the block
hauling rocks and blows
with a sense of the midnight clinging to their clothes
and the street lamp casting a golden glow
i leave muddy foot prints on a golden globe
and a poet i’m on once said “between the tarmac toes of the city you may find a rose”
fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
the fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
they give me heaven on a platter and i froze
here and now is all a rude boy knows
and i lean in the pews and i doze
wondering if i should exchange my clothes
for white washed robes they preach but they cannot show
if they waiting to die then they already dead
i suppose, who knows how eternity grows
it must be in me the same way the tree is inside the seed
when they plant it in the planet below
to be coaxed by the golden glow
of the sun kid i’m gripping on the eighty second psalm
like a gun in my palm shorty where i’m from
we stand in [ ] a way to try to accost it
but i found to persist in the tryst to exist a hostage
and hope’s a gold rope around my throat and this verse is the ransom note
fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
the fire goin burn and the battle get hotta but your boy flow just like the water
