The Way Of The City

     Dog eat dog it’s violence It’s chaos
It’s tears in the rain
The night never sleeps and the day
It only brings pain

Do unto you as done unto me
Come face to face with the realization
It’s nothing but a game
A pawn for a pawn in retaliation

Shots fired and a man is down, then
Innocence get caught in the line of fire
Nothing good comes from the madness
When Guns and drugs are the desire

When hate and anger is the Devil’s pleasure
It’s the reason for his endless reign
It’s the endless cycle of life and death
So senseless and so insane

God have mercy I pray, when I see it
I become overwhelmed with pity
It’s hard to just shake it off but
That’s just The Way Of The City
