All you see is... Crime in the City

All you see is... Crime in the city

All you see is... Crime in the city

Not murals of Biggie

Or refugees seeking pity

Just, crime in the city

War zones and pawn shops

Not brothers on the spot

Just people ducking shots

Crime in the city

Not the parks and pleasures

Street art beyond measure

Hiding places kids treasure

Just crime in the city

Peace could be discovered

If you thought of others

instead you focus on another

Crime in the city

Gentrification and exodus

Decimate the populace

Who will put a stop to this?

Crime in the city

This isn't where I was born

But like a widow I mourn

It's the home i scorn

With the crime in the city.
