lyrics

*Car failing to start*

[Verse 1]
I'm from a city with forever stench
Forever grimey blocks, we seen shit, ain't never wince
Slightly glimpse into the future, spawned a clever prince
Now my present is a gift, been rappin ever since
Ain't never fled the trench, ain't nothin heaven sent
Ayo my heart is tense, that's why my art is dense
That's why I keep these crowds jumpin like Carter Vince
That's why my squad seem odd, we plottin our revenge
Verb the main event, we could stop the suspense
It all led up to this moment, got no regrets
They got no defense for who they go against
Spit Jehovah bless, it's Judgment Day, you get your soul addressed
Ya rep stolen sets, I got your hoe impressed
But I prefer the older wench with the golden flesh
Ya should know it, young poet keep a poetress
Schemin with my demons, we feenin to put the Pope to rest

[Hook]
Dance the death dance, no chance to tell my story
I don't say my prayers, let Grandma say em for me
Dance the death dance, no chance to tell my story
I don't say my prayers, let Grandma say em for me

[Verse 2]
Grandma say em for me, look they prayin on me
That's how they cope and hope there's never flowers layin on me
My brain stayin on me, I dodge stupid cowards
Yuppie scum where your home? You tryna ruin ours
Alphabet City, the kid with the superpowers
Do as I say, kneel & pray towards the newest tower
One of your crew devoured, now your whole unit cower
On the darkest nights experience the lucid hours
The Ave wild, black clouds rain polluted showers
Walk through the storm stoned off the super sour

Dance the death dance, no chance to tell my story
I don't say my prayers, let Grandma say em for me
