Specifics, Coates - L City lyrics
[Specifics, Coates - L City lyrics]
You know I could jump from the buildings
Balcony to fire escape
Laundry line swinging high as apes from a
Jungle vine
Still it's concrete we chill in small pieces
Chug smuggled wine
From a kind of grape I've never seen alive
Drunk sitting in the skunk tinted summit
Of a high rise dump junk
Just to see it plummet
And spat to the streetside flat with
A slight decline in where
The street slide back to the sealine
Provide feed for the rats
Like cigarette butts, beer caps and mere
Scraps and shit all gets stuck
Muck up in the iron grate get it plugged
So the sun will only touch twice a day
Underside beady eyes red
Slime and feces combine where the needy die
Sleeping in a quiet dream
Sirens in the night keep a kid awake
Screaming echo out of the drapes
Closed admit artificial light
Yellow shine peep it from the sky
Planes and it's a grid
Cause we made our lives
Into little shapes even
Get the shakes, cold steps on linoleum late
All alone again
Schweppes and a oz of Puerto Rican
Petroleum stains that glow green leaking
Through the snow flakes
This is no place for a living being
I live and breathe what the city is
Breeding and let it bleed into
The beat when I'm spitting
It's about time that i get at em
The idle mind is a playground for the devil
You tell them I'ma dishevel em
The first words of a newfound rebellion
Operation lights out slothetarians
No word from the Marian
Nothing is sweet when paychecks
From the penthouse mental house
Operation cop chariot or you're moving
Back to parental's house
Come wally season
Smog and sunbeams dry the heat mirage seems
To sweep off in the horizon
Reach and swat flies with your
Hand up in the hammock
Twice he comes strapped with the straw hat
Sand from the beaches
Bra strap bikini contact dance peaches
Steaming whips jam up the traffic
Scan for speed traps
Cats with the cannabis weed passin a sack
Hand to hand, the police absent
East to west teens sit on the steps
Asking hey could you buy a case
For me and my friend stranger
Aging quickly they chill in the park
Take swigs from the mickey and cough
Liquor erase dreams
In the moon bathed late at night
Satellites move across deep blue space
As the planet lies dormant
Once more I chase sheep through
A warm wave keep
The fan blades orbit for a faint breeze
And the AC absorb it
Skyscraper landscape in the same place it
Used to be a forest
You learn swift ain't nobody
Earn this existence
And might as well piss it away
Swimmin in a lake of bourbon and
Citrus mixed up in the surf
With some bitches
Searchin for the endless spring break
Burn this, how can you return to the
City and leave this lake
Yo to live it is mercy
It's about time that i get at em
The idle mind is a playground for the devil
You tell them I'ma dishevel em
The first words of a newfound rebellion
Operation lights out slothetarians
No word from the Marian
Nothing is sweet when paychecks
From the penthouse mental house
Operation cop chariot or you're moving
Back to parental's house
Balcony to fire escape
Laundry line swinging high as apes from a
