      666. NY = Modern day babylon

      1. The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
        Shinin, like who on top of this?
        People was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
        Gangstaz of gotham hardcore hustlin
        I’m wrestlin with words and ideas
        My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit
        The scribes can apply to transcript, yo
        This ain’t no time where the usual is suitable
        Tonight alive, let’s describe the inscrutable
        The indisputable, we new york the narcotic
        Strength in metal and fiber optics
        Where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock tips
        For profits, thirsty criminals take pockets
        Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
        Skyscrapers is collosus, the cost of living
        Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no options
        No batman and robin, can’t tell between
        The cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
        With no conscience, back streets stay darkened
        Where unbeliever hearts stay hardened
        My eagle talons stay sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
        You either make a way or stay sobbin, the shiny apple
        Is bruised but sweet and if you choose to eat
        You could lose your teeth, many crews retreat
        Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked down
        Spotlight to savages, nasdaq averages
        My narrative, rose to explain this existance
        Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the distance

        So much on my mind that I can’t recline
        Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine
        Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
        Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
        Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
        I can’t take it y’all, I can feel the city breathin
        Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening
        Sigh before we die like the last train leaving
