In the inner city in the urban jungle
don't stumble
you will be humbled
uncoupled

from your shear conscious
in the metropolis
i state the obvious
STREET APOCALYPSE
wit third eye watchin it

heart frozen
for a moment
the human EXPLOSION
you ain't supposing
you ain't never been there but
you be knowing
that the streets keep going and going

the rat race
at this pace
in such limited space
on the street surface

who's the quickest
survival of the fittest
eye on the riches
it's hot in - Hell's Kitchen*
ain't nothing you missing

the scenario is played out in urbania on a daily basis
murder cases
home of the faceless
get robbed butt naked
leave it or take it

2001
so many wanna leave so many wanna come
the great mecca is like a sponge
swallow you up and your funds

feel the concrete sidewalk buckle
your voice muffles
don't cry uncle
when it happens in the urban jungle

From Inside The Struggle

*Hell's Kitchen is a neighborhood on the isle of Manhattan
