city life

Singer:lisa maffia

story of a life

what what

streets are so cold

do you feel me

yeah

money don't make the man man makes the money

seems like the worlds changing its so funny

people kill people die just for the money

mummy crying in uncles arms and it ain't funny

have to pay the funeral with her last money

and all you got was a phone i can see money

everyday shed a tear cos she loves sonny

lord knows i feel your pain mummy

now you've gone and sold the phone for drugs money

3 years gone mummy died to see sonny

uncle lost his mind now he's gone funny

and for the word that took the phone for the drugs money

he got found shot 10 times in a back alley

a witness said it was his best friend ally

another mum shedding tears with aunt sally

everyday someone dies another body

i'm not feeling this

people take people's kids away

what's wrong with the world today

i'm seeing murders occur everyday

so i'm gonna tell you

oh so many times

young people dying on the streets

nobody cares whats happening

seems such a waste of human race

fighting against what god has just made

families suffer and they grieve

sons and their daughters recently teased

lonely and weak from what has been done

wish we could turn back hands of time

what if i never wake up

would you care would my family break up

is there life after death tell me straight up

is it my destiny to be boxed up

six feet deep in a casket locked up

trying hard gotta let me wake up

don't wanna leave my kids i wanna see them grown up

and i love my friends and family so hold up

and give me the chance to breathe again

don't wanna lose my family and friends

the world is full of tears dress hurt and pain

i don't wanna hurt again
