Nightmare On 5th Street

Said it was all a dream,

cause life really aint what it all seems.

No crickets,

just gun shots so when we fall asleep-

the blocks awake,

with more people that the cops can chase.

Born in a world where they rather see us locked away-

then graduate,

threw it at our face-

so we can catch a case,

land of the free with a cost,

peeped the price then just backed away.
