State of Emergency - Jaya the Cat

[00:10.55]Like a shadow in the night
[00:13.06]Swallows up that city light
[00:14.97]Like fire in the rain
[00:17.47]Gets put out again
[00:20.03]Like a weapon kept concealed
[00:22.35]Explosive elements reveal
[00:24.79]A criminal inside of you
[00:27.15]No ground to stand, nothing to lose
[00:29.45]
[00:47.31]The distribution of wealth
[00:48.95]What a ******* scam
[00:50.20]That's why its hard to survive in this so called promise land
[00:53.21]You gotta do what you gotta do to get by
[00:54.76]Facilitate that permanent high
[00:56.83]Smoke filled lungs inside of you
[00:59.13]It's hard to dream of glory when you got something to prove
[01:01.63]Sometimes we're all victims of depression and unrest
[01:03.73]Some people got no heart, that's just the way its always been
[01:06.24]Some never find what their looking for
[01:07.99]Few get what they want, and fewer get more
[01:10.29]Sometimes you gotta cross that line
[01:12.49]When you ain't got enough to get by
[01:14.80]
[01:15.40]Like an angel lost in hell
[01:17.19]I walk a path I know so well
[01:19.59]I feel lost in a familiar way, another memory I can't explain
[01:24.64]Cause it's the bottle that seems to flow
[01:27.12]Through another day of the drunk unknown
[01:30.01]I'm looking for a fight, at 11.15 on a Saturday night
[01:34.15]Wake up on Sunday morning
[01:36.39]To the sound of breaking glass and sirens calling
[01:38.94]Bricks and bottles in the street
[01:41.09]Alert the police, cause it's a state of emergency
[01:43.83]
[01:52.81]And the traffic lights all go blinking red
[01:55.21]And a voice on the radio says 'get out while you can'
[02:01.16]And in the gridlock panic sets in
[02:05.51]And there ain't no engine built fast enough
[02:08.10]To outride the Armageddon
[02:10.51]And if you don't give it up I'm gonna take it
[02:14.16]And if you don't give it up I'm gonna take it
[02:18.57]And if you don't give it up I'm gonna take it
[02:22.77]
[02:23.96]And how long did you think you could keep me tricked?
[02:26.66]I'll be cold walking through the backbay flinging bricks
[02:29.00]Like a shadow in the night
[02:31.16]Swallows up that city light
[02:33.47]Like fire in the rain
[02:36.03]Gets put out again
[02:38.76]Like a weapon kept concealed
[02:40.91]Explosive elements reveal
[02:43.22]A criminal inside of you
[02:45.77]No ground to stand, nothing to lose
[02:47.97]
