City Don’t Sleep Macklemore (Ft. Don P)

[Intro]
"I don't feel there's any point in trying to survive when people don't try to help me."
"When we—we share a community, we should all be engaged and more involved in each other's wellbeing, you know?"

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Now everyday that I walk outta my building
I see homeless people sleeping and chillin' on the steps to the apartment that I live in
I’m not saying everyone’s a victim
But the people that I live with treat ‘em more like villains than actual citizens
I walk past a man laying in his own vomit
He gets his food and his garments by digging in the garbage
I beg your pardon, Mr President, but I'm a resident
And since you've been in office I haven't seen any evidence
Of things changin', we go into Iraq and attack
When we got people on the streets without a roof over their back
We've come to accept the homeless as part of our landscape
The money the government wastes could provide them with a safe place
To eat and sleep, but we cease to see
That our own country is based around war, power and greed
We got families on the street with nowhere to go
And the concrete's the only place they have to call home

[Chorus 1: Don-P]
Nowhere to call your own
Out here in the cold
Wishing you had a home
Feeling you're all alone
Nowhere to call your own
Out here in the cold
Wishing you had a home (Yo)
Feeling all alone
