Fun Lovin' Criminals - Livin In The City (2005) by Fun Lovin' Criminals (보컬) on maniadb.com

You see the lights from space. Like a beacon to the planets as it happens. What had happened it the charts in south Manhattan the batteries up like all my homeboys seen 'we all ride in a yellow submarine all the greats got stake in the city by the superpower the streets got meat never mind the early hour suv's swarm like beetles in trees. No matter what your needs if you got the d's from treaties to crunk. To bodies in the trunk its never a dull moment. Unless you're gettin drunk but it might be you out on the business end so pack a jack and watch your back. Ain't nobody yoob friend back in the jungle its survival of the fittest. So witness the pittness as i stomp all op in this you know where to find me i mat bungalow 8 but bring a strap and half your camp and the key to hell's gate.. I love livin'in the city

I got the pug ugly suit with some goya 0 boya pix. Pix. Pix. Or is that too OG for ya action packed like Gene Hackman under the l. The buildings are so beautiful. But nevermind the smell. Nevermind the ghetto fab. Their ice is from canal. Nevermind the euro-trash their presence is banal. Nevermind the technocrat when all he says is well but always mind the don't walk sign. The traffic here is hell. Although my heart is heavy. Its a bevy of broads its where you should be goin its where their dealin the cards. The Bronx is up and everyone's down. The center of the universe for some time now. And how motherfucker. This is New York city. The rest of you are knuckleheads tryin to look pretty. Vacancies range from your soul on up. So count your chips and do the math. Or get the fuck out. I love livin' in the city

Ay-yo i change up but what i can't remember but when i buckle down I knuckle up all the contenders pretenders get passed. The girls get gassed they playin' pass the ass bumpin' Teddy Pendergrass all night long with your bullshit talkin' litical. Litical. But your crew is all soft i
Knock your best shot off the right field fence served ain't the word. You got sent
You don't know how it be you don't know what i feel and you don't know what i see
When i walk my dog at four in the morning
You want to know how it really be. What you live and see what you gotta weed. The criminality who's livin it up. Who still gut the guts who's payin to fuck who got in his truck i'm pushin' my luck down the ave with my crew. Lustin for loot. Dustin for fools blind to the bulls. Twenties gleamin like jewels straight not givin'a fuck...
You don t know how it be
You don't know what i feel
And you don't know what i see
When i walk my dog at four in the morning

Yo kid. I'm from your block yo. I took yodr chain. I took your moms out twice. I put the g in the game its been like Tangiers. I put the grease in the gears left your dad in tears. When i boxed his ears i'm reppin avenue c. Where the wack catch a slap i keep my cretin's crackin and the meatpackers mackin puttin things in relief so baby sit in the seat never touch the levels. Just bump the beat
Feel the fibe. Cop my style on this bitch ask the boys downtown. Yeah they know this kid. From my babies on the block to the killers on the corner. Don't start no shit. Hell rain on you
From downtown brooklyn to the L.E.S Let me hear it for the city is ya alright
All you bottle blonde she-devils. Out on patrol you'll catch a trick real quick so baby slow your roll and all you mop-top critics can't get me down. I count my money first then i beat your ass down i got the Saville Row suit. So fool. Don't act cute' cause...

All these people makin' choices with no
cause and effect check sayin' their man is
the best. But yet they don't respect they
lie to elect. Then resent the rest. Making
god's whole world a mess I say it again. I
make a wager that the saviour hasn't been
back yet we got many looking skyward like
the man got a jet you see it in the
children's eyes. Within them they reflect
the love that we forget bring me your poor.
Persecuted huddled masses. Put them through
the system. And kick their asses. Try to
figure out why the double edge slashes.
While the white rich men get passes. We got
a thousand year beef that's still a problem.
Since 1945 we just threaten to bomb 'em. But
now they're bombin' back. And still we aint
got 'em you said. Never forget. But we've
forgotten.

Did you ever think the world would get so
hard children killing children in our own
back yard did you ever think you'd say that
you gave up on god

Now try and pitcure this. Through all of the
mist we're taking out hits. Scratchin' dicks
off the list we're itchin' to piss off.
Those kicks we just lift off. The kids that
just let off. The guns that we gift. The
times that push cadence. Reflect all the
ancients we try to have patience. Through
all of the hatred with all of this growin'.
It's out of control. I'm sitting on my sofa
sedated. We got a lot in the way of.
Acheiving a state. That don't try to relate
the temptations of fate. And what's made us
great? All of this blood? Is this how we
court the houses of Saud? well we're
sleeping with dogs. But detaining the pack.
They're stealing my rights with the patriot
act. With Washington runnin' the drugs. And
the guns in. Sometimes I thank god we got
crack

Did you ever think the world would get so
hard children killing children in our own
back yard did you ever think you'd say that
you gave up on god

Like Magellan we was over by my man catchin' paper.
Frankie on the cubes. And fisty on the sabre i
was on the mix mad drinkin that is when i found all
these locals all up in my biz. See i had to do some
splainin cause the language they was playin wasn't
NewYorkese. Or for that spanglish even. I walked up
to the man with the largest of hands, cold briefed
him on the plan, turned around and sang...
I'm a city boy. Baby
Don't you ever try to play me
Sometimes i act real crazy.
But i'm a city boy. Baby
You know they always like a story down on flatbush ave i remembered when i listened and we stole what we had. If America's a tit then New York is the nipple. So suck on this and you may learn a little... The golden rule's for fools or for men who are righteous so piay the cards you're
dealt. And maybe you might just slide on by with no damage to your pride.
Go let ignorance be your guide.
I'm a city boy. Baby.
Don't you ever try to play me.
Sometimes i act real crazy.
But i'm a city boy. Baby

We all walk down the street, my love
We carry pain and we carry scars
We carry everything we've loved
We carry the girls we met in the bars
We carry guilt and some remorse
For all them fucked up things we've done
And we carry on and carry on
Until our caring days had gone

When we blaze out past the boroughs
To a place where time forgot
I see the leaves are even changing
And my stomach starts to drop
Your face is in the moon
But still I try to find my rock
But now you live down by the river
And my key don't fit your lock

I can make it better, I know I can
I can make it better, I'd give everything I have
I can make it better, try to forget the pain
I can make it better

Has it really been that long
Since you've told me about the war
Yeah, a thousand nights of blisters
And probably a thousand more
Godspeed you from the city
In a stolen takxi cab
I'd be reckless on the L.I.E.
Until it starts to scab

Well I'd tell you all about
Those good things in your life
And when I'd fail I'd say I love you
And ask you to be my wife
We could live out by the water
Where it's always summertime
I'd love you even after
All your scars were mine

When we blaze out past the boroughs
To a place where time forgot
I see the leaves are even changing
And my stomach starts to drop
Your face is in the moon again
But still I try to find my rock
now you live down by the river
And my key don't fit your lock

I can make it better, I know I can
I can make it better, I'd give everything I have
I can make it better, try to forget the pain
I can make it better, we'd be together again

It was late one night up in Washingtgn heights i was on my own. And that wasn't too bright the stage was set and i came collecting. Pickin up a debt not worth mentioning. I used to love a girl from just this block. We used to rock to salsa and salsa to rock.
You know row shit goes. Time ticks and tocks If you asked me if i love her. I'd have to say lots Backto the story. I was out on the stoop with a man in a headlock. Gettin my loot. I thought i heard my name and i quickly turned around, my heart just froze and i couldn't make a sound in just one moment my whole vibe changed, it was the love of my life and she really looked the same and when i say the same i really mean better, and when i say better, I mean you'd never forget her
Mi corazon
When our met. I knew how much 'd hurt her i traded money for love and went even further I started drinkin' a lot and abusing myself she loved me but left me couldn't do nothing else.
Three years has passed I always think about her. Never loved nobody else. Probably never will.
I asked her about her life tried to turn the page. She laughed in my face said act your age. I said this ain't no rap I care about you. She said
she liked the lyrics but they wouldn't do She said she loves me but it kills her alright?
She found another man gonna become his wife. I said that's crazy you're foolin' yourself. He aint better than you she said turned around and left. Family never founded. She's just walkin' away I'll be here when you need me. My hearts that way...
Mi corazon
Usted es mi vida. Soy yo mi amor...
Mi corazon
Mi corazon

Hey friend it won't be too long now
'til the fire comes to town
and leads us underground
hey girl the city will eat you alive
and leave the faintest burn mark
on the dirty city sidewalk

And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws
And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws

Hey y'all it's not like nobody warned us
we roast upon the fire
of aggressive imperial desire
hey friend I see you down the road
the road that's strewn with ashes
and burnt child's eyelashes

And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws
And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws

And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws
And will I be ready
when I hunt them down like dogs
and will I just listen
when they're quoting me their laws

And will i be ready
when I have to do the deed
with a long splendid sword
and balanced honesty
and will I be ready
and will I just listen
or will I be ready
or will I just listen
or will I be ready
hell yeah I'll be ready
yeah I'll be ready
no I will not listen

get ready
