lyrics

06 Universal City feat. DJ Efechto & Kristen Dake

Kristen Dake: Living free/ I won’t let go I won’t let go of Your love/ yeah eh hey hey/ inner city life inner city pressure taking over me/ feel the city pressure taking over me/ inner city life inner city pressure taking over me/ and i wont let go of Your love

wb: our universe is a city/ open door the grimy and gritty/ where what's lively and pretty suffocates in the litany of many/ similar to a packed jail with smog/ as a black, stale atmosphere, clogging a jog/ through the downtown district/ white t on a misfit/ stealing from a scene where it's ain't nobody witness/ much less give it the love from this wannabe thug/ gonna be drugged from police policy/ mugged as a problem/ claiming brutality to solve him/ like, what they think they understand isn't sodom/ in a bottle they bought him, allowed him to rotten/ put his picture on a bulletin, they think they got him/ his prints in the system, community missed him/ university overlooked him when he was wishin'/ as an infant, to grow up and be a policeman/ but the ones he wished to be hope he retreats from the city...

Kristen Dake: inner city life inner city pressure taking over me (feel the city pressure taking over me) inner city life inner city pressure taking over me (and i wont let go of Your love)

sl: now in the universal city debt is on the rise/ in pursuit of better lives/ searching for truth through embedded lines/ wise guys telling intelligent lies/ a sign of the times/ define mines by the riot and crimes/ survive violent nights/ it's a grind to find quiet in your mind/ rise and shine in a skyline high rise/ high off of the life like a pilot licensed to fly

wb: i strain and i sigh, day to day to provide/ for what's right in my mind but what's taking my life/ can't seem to place my third eye, wasting my time/ on that ribbon in the sky when that ribbon isn't tied tight to why my sight is blind/ all i know that my life in hindsight can't get by to provide/ to gain a balance while being a bride/ to budget, bugging and budging/ i love it/ but i hope it subsides, right?

chorus

sl: it's always profit to be made/ gossip to be relayed/ God sits deep in the shade/ watches broadway relate/ alcoholic sips his pain away/ single mother child in stroller/ struggling hustler pushing his pile over/ then high roller eyes over his own shoulder at iron holder or chrome totter/ little does he know the code of the opposite culture/ youngin’ taught not to pop and reload a revolver over the stereotypes he fights and buries inside/ what he writes as the stereo cries/ God's honest truth you are hearing no lies/ here we reside your eyes rise to the advertised skies/ cluttered in billboards/ that which we are in love with we will kill for/ you see the city lights and the city pressure/ once my pleasure i want to feel more

chorus
