Lyrics
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
