DX - Heart Of The City

DXavier23 · 06-11-2007, 07:31 PM

PLAY: Heart of The City Instrumental

Verse 1:
Whenever this beats bumpin, I feel my heart pumpin
Blood in and blood out to these city streets my cousin
Hit you hard with these bars might cause a concussion
Gun holds 13 shots, I call it my bakers dozen
Keep my eye on the streets, all the successful people
Tryna be like Pacino in the Godfather sequel
The boss, so none of you are my equal
Call it unconsitutional, but everything out here is illegal
Cops moving coke in police cars, they call it the blue taxi
Fuck storytelling, I just spit the true facts B
Why can we afford cocaine, but not antibiotics
This shit is not right, sorry for my rant but I think its psychotic
Politicians payed off, government only out for the lettuce
Putting the pieces to the puzzle together like tetris
The heart of the city, aint no love there
Cause half these niggas dead broke without health care
What I say is true, so you should quote my rhymes
We got niggas living in boxes made out of the New York Times
Never stop a hustler when hes trying to pay his rent
Thatll get you shot up more times than fifty cent
Homie, where's the love? C'mon

Chorus:
(Play Sample)
Ain't no love, in the heart of the city
(No love)
Ain't no love, in the heart of town
(Thats Right)
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love, in the heart of town C'mon

Verse 2:
The heart of the city loves money, for not just cable
But to be able to put food on the dinner table
Some hustle for funds, some even kill for it
Leading many funerals, good business for a florist
So we turn to dealin, the city's got a surplus of buyers bitch
And more contacts than Verizon Wireless
Not for drug dealing, but certainly not against it
That may be the only way to make it out where they're condensed in
Basketball, Rap, or Drugs, your left with three options
Or being a career criminal like Anthony Hopkins
Can't afford the baby, leading to many adoptions
Instead of buying chains, yawl should be investing in stocks n'
Keep your dollars close, and away from bad bitches
Then you might have a shot to go from rags to riches
Sound of a gunshot haunts these city streets
Altho it aint pretty, people trying to make ends meat
They'll leave you to drown in the ocean so try to muster a canoe B
Or with a bigger cast than a blockbuster movie
Violence and death, makes the heart of the city start leaking
So a cardiologist is what we are all seeking
Listen when Im speaking, like a voice from above
As I ask you, where's the love?

Chorus:
(Play Sample)
Ain't no love, in the heart of the city
(No love)
Ain't no love, in the heart of town
(Thats Right)
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love, in the heart of town

Verse 3:
Aint no love, instead everybody want to hate
With someone with a little extra cake on their plate
Like my boy Freddy, little extra spaghetti, lived right outside Brooklyn
So somebody shot him twice when he wasn't looking
The seven deadly sins, and the power of greed and envy
So you either broke and bitter or rich and unfriendly
Im the boss, yawl pretending, but really have mascara on
Cause I run New York like Kenyans in the marathon
Niggas making it rain so much it could fill up the Mississippi River
Why you throwin it away when the hood in worse condition than Billy Bob Thornton's liver
Im the truth when I write, once I start rippin there aint no stoppin
And Im nice around mics like Pippen and Rodman
I dare you stop em, when he on a role, like butter
Never stutter, when I say I'm from the gutter
Ask my mother, she raised me without no father
Nigga busted a nut, and that was it, he didn't even bother
Any fool can make a baby, but only a real man can raise it
Any "rapper" can spit on a mic, but only a true emcee can blaze it
Listen when I say shit, because I only say the unspoken truth
And put it in the context of rhyme, while in the vocal booth
The local youths, don't care where your from, they'll treat you like a devout terrorist
The ghetto is a large mountain to climb, similar to mount everest
Ask my niggas in Maryland, moving drugs for cash
Athletic niggas, could be running the 40 yard dash
But instead they skip class, cause they dont care about their careers
A once possible engineer, shot dead and permanently disappears
When the heart of a soldier stops beating
And you and death have an meeting
Does salvation come at an early wait?
Does the killing for food, stop you from entering the pearly gates?
Cause theres only two certainties, where I come from
That every man is a son and every man has a gun
We need to stop the killin, for the dollar bill n'
Hope for change, and must be willin'
To undergo reformation, and value education
Rather than the drug saturated streets that are killing our nation
This is a problem that is certainly hard to crack
All this damage and destruction might cause a heart attack
How come smart and black aren't words that go together
Cause inner city streets treat life as lightly as a feather
Most of these niggas gettin cut up like if it were a salon
Is love still present, or is it forever gone
In the heart of the city, contained in each and every person
It seems there ain't no love, when the conditions worsen
No more killing, put down your gun and razor, ur enemies, forgive em later
Before our heartbeat stops and we need a defibrillator
Where's the love?

Chorus:
(Play Sample)
Ain't no love, in the heart of the city
(No love)
Ain't no love, in the heart of town
(Thats Right)
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love, in the heart of town
(Good Night)
