Life In the City (Live)
Some say you only get so many breaths When they're gone, you'll meet your maker Some people always try to cheat their death But when it comes, you just can't shake it
Some people try to make a deal To get a little bit more but they try to take it Some of them end up in debt When their called they try to fake it
But one morning the clock will chime And no more birds come flying by And temperature's keep rising higher 16 bullets come flying by
Ai, yi, yi put your hands up high 'Cause you never know How long you're gonna live 'til ya die
They hit you with a missile, hit you with a bomb Hit you with the law, try to take your home
Break into your house in the middle of the night Track you on a cell phone by satellite Stopped any time you're in your car Search your body, search your home
And listenin' in on your phone calls Still no politician got enough balls Lining the people up against the wall When the truth comes out all hell will call
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And someday Guantanamo will fall Until that day we all will ride on
Ai, yi, yi, put your hands up high 'Cause you never know How long your gonna live 'til ya die
That's life in the city That's life in the city yeah That's life in the city Mad world in the city
Some holdin' on, so damn gone Their whole lives livin' with their TV on Then radio play the same 10 songs Set your clock by which ones on
An' watching the news try to see what's wrong Find somebody else to blame it on Hope they never come and research you 'Cause your grandmother was an immigrant too
So if you love somebody better tell them so 'Cause you never ever, ever no when they gonna go If they love you back, just give thanks Can't keep love like money in the bank
You never know, you never know Its gonna get you
