I'd like to do this poem for y'all tonight It's called City Lights I wrote it on a rainy day Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe Look how pretty the city lights are If I light this fuse right We can watch the flames dance under the moonlight As the smoke swirls and twirls like the cha-cha The building disappears like voilร , poof You see, we had a community leader, but the government killed him Hunted until they found him and killed Him in front of his woman and children They ain't hide shit, there was nothing to shield him Just publicly filled him with a slug to the grill Then hung him 'til he swung from the ceiling That's why we at this government building, throwing molotovs at it For our brother, burning before another holocaust happen When my nigga fell, I seen all of y'all clapping Now it's your turn to hit the trail, give him a trip to hell I'mma send all of y'all packing and wish him well A lunatic, like a disease driver giving you a lift I'm uber sick, sick in the mind 'Cause I'm sick of being treated like my skin is a crime Now the enemy's mine, yeah I went from innocent citizen to the militant kind 'Cause they killing us over a nickel and dime Killing us fifteen cent at a time Pyromaniacs, you made us Now the courthouse is a blunt, it's getting blazed up Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe Look how pretty the city lights are They calling me an arsonist But when I strike a match, it draws a flame, I'm on my artist shit Where were you when we was drinking water full of arsenic From your pipeline, causing a lifetime of retarded kids Up in your big house, chilling without a doubt While my homie was on the street, blood spilling up out his mouth Robocop standing over him with the smoking gun Poking fun at the hole in his lung That's why we kicking you cowards out of our hood Out of our sight, comedy out of our pain Mockeries out of our strife, my life, my life I just wanna survive in this crazy world But bullets wanna stop me from reading stories to my baby girls So it's bandanas over the face as I firebomb the precinct So much smoke, it damn near made me hurl Then I stumbled outside so I can enjoy the fireworks Fuck the empire, we riders Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe Look how pretty the city lights are Burn baby, burn Burn, hoe
