JJ Demon - Momma Said That We Ruined This Town lyrics

Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream

Yo, think I remember when this
Place was all wooded
Tried to paint a picture in my brain
But I couldn't
They played the footage of the crime scene
You'd probably see my house in the
Background if it was widescreen
Society cesspool
Township's chess move was a sting
All cases exhumed
Couldn't charge us with a thing
Open field signed and sealed to
Be paid for strip malls
The same place where kickball was played
The forest where I had my
First kiss now is gone
Parents yellin' "I object!" in the town hall
Told Julie she's going to church from now on
Preacher raped her, her innocence now lost
And I'm 'bout to catch a gun charge
My parents got "save our village" written
On signs in the front yard
Momma, your son's smart, he just fell
I'm sorry for contributing in
Fuckin' up the field, that's real

Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
And will the city keep chasin' us
Chasin' us? (Chasin' us)
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream

As I walk amongst the debris
Tryna rise from the hopelessness
The field where we used to play's the
Parking lot where homeless men sleep
When the crime increased
It had a lot to do with us
As we turn the corner
The corner has prostitutes and drugs
We always have bugs in the kitchen
But never on the phone
Mom's had two jobs, every day was home alone
Four friends died of an overdose
Fell off the motorboat, comatose
Throat in rope jesus Christ, God help us!
Mr president, rescue!
Or don't, whatever, fuck it
I didn't elect you meth labs, test tubes
Kids passin' in science with flyin' colors
I'm just worried about my little brother
He's nine rewind to when I was his age I
Wasn't worried about survivin' the day
But turned to crime anyway
Never givin' you your property back
They widin' the road moved our property back
Property tax went through the roof

Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
And will the city keep chasin' us
Chasin' us? (Chasin' us)
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream

And the kids are all pilled up
The preacher said the way we live
Our life's gonna kill us
Tell him to eat a dick
They ask me if I feel guilty
Now I'll plead the fifth like always
They kick my door in and
Drag me through the hallway
Momma said they ruined this town, daddy
Where are you?
Police hollerin' "Rome is fallin'!"
And I can't argue city's got a way of
Expanding and crawlin' out
Since me and God had a fallin' out
Robbery and drugs is what I'm all about
Just another crack in the pavement
Judge used a fuckin' Bible just to
Smack me in the face with it didn't taint
I'm livin' in the basement
Of someone else's pad
We only got the words "fuck off"
Wrote on the welcome mat
I helped burn this village
Murder and pillage burners and killin's
With no concern with the civilians
We turned this quiet town to a
Metropolis of drugs and slaughter
Momma, kiss your son and hug your daughter

Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
And will the city keep chasin' us
Chasin' us? (Chasin' us)
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
But, if we leave, I don't know where we'd go
Close your eyes
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dream
