[Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long]
Big city, even larger world. Rotten
Apple worm grabs the pearl, revolving around the struggle
Of the city. This the land of the bold
And gritty, shifty, life on the edge. The crowd walking
Everyday survival, avoid point of views, those talking
Unimportant cliques and crews judging your moves
My day’s like a walk on the strip. Everybody stay
Dipped. It’s like poverty’s flipped when the poor living
Like the rich [?] to keep up with Joneses
Can’t pay bills sipping and burning away depression
Liquor and cess sessions. Nightmares, the dream repeated
On the news, violence don’t stop. Now they do the
Cops—caught a shapeup plus some sour at the barbershops
Shootouts on Fulton Street in front the chicken spot
After hours, eyes open on them Crooklyn blocks
Best believe anywhere it could happen, hammers clapping
Kiddies scrambling over Benjies and Franklin. Ana-
-lyzing the first seconds in a New York minute

Cheese

We’re trying to live out our dreams, make it here, anywhere

Occupy Wall Street, conquer the bull, we’re hungry while them
Slumlords’ belly fully
