Somewhere In The City Lyrics
[MASAI]
So if you can ID him
Then take me to see him
[MASAI, spoken]
Let’s go
[CLEON]
The murderer who tries to kill a dream
Is closer than you think
He wants to see our faces
The damage is his kink
If any of us make it back to Coney
He’ll be there to knock us down
He doesn’t feel a thing
Unless he’s watching something drown
But you can’t kill an idea whose time has come
[MASAI]
Come to the point where they kill everything you believe in
You lead your army to the Major Deegan ‘n’ start speedin’, vrrm vrmm…
[CLEON]
He’s on our turf
He’s waiting for us on our turf
Our one little corner of turf
But he’ll never kill
The part that is real
The dream that reveals
[CLEON & MASAI]
It’s all our turf
Every side of the city
Let’s ride through the city
[CLEON, MASAI & RIFFS]
And somewhere in the city my crew’s in a fight
They’re trying to get home ‘n’ surviving the night
And they deserve a city where they’d be alright
Where they all come home alive
And someday in the city we won’t have to run
Each time somebody broken gets ahold of a gun
Breathe easy every night knowing we’ll see the sun
When we all come home alive
Someday in the city our music will play
We’ll wander through the city as light as the day
And nothing is impossible making our way
Back home alive
[CLEON]
Survive tonight
