Does the Lion City Still Roar?

I’ll keep my faith alive Cause this is paradise or parricide I can’t believe this sight Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes The streets won’t sleep tonight A lullaby for the half-alive The city swings and whines To the double crime of drugs and hard times Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city sirens sing the night away The city feels like a cage Feels like a powder keg That’s almost set to explode Lion city’s begun to rot It’s a matter of time until the roaring stops The scene from the ground up From the painted walls to the rooftops My city’s closed and locked While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks The haves and the have-nots Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots lion city sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city sirens sing the night away There’s an overdose on me And he does the cocaine shake Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away The city seems like it’s trapped Between its future and its past Life or death of a city not coming back The city feels like a cage Feels like a powder keg And now it’s gonna explode Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city sirens sing the night away There’s an overdose on me And it’s wearing out good things Cause lion city sirens sing the night away Sing the night away Sing the night away And I won’t be long
