Lyrics The Holy City - Deecon

Eh eh eh eh
Mmmmmm
You ever seen all your niggas catch a case
Right
You ever seen tears on your momma face
Right
This is the Holy
This is the Holy
The Holy City
The Holy City
It's the city

Damien went to jail in '98
A few years prior
Damn we was straight
Up in the 7th
Going to the 8th
Selling dummy rocks
Just for the play
Just joined our gang
Biggest mistake
The set up
Right here was the shift
Cause even though I did
And knew that he didn't
Facing the East
Would make things a lil different
Rights of passage
For bastards
That masters crime
At an early age
I just wanna get paid
We can fuck around and die any day
Momma bout to cop her one anyway
Get it on the block
Or public aid
And it's only two options
While the police watches
And Damien caught a body robbing

Mmmmmm
You ever seen all your niggas catch a case
Right
You ever seen tears on your momma face
Right
This is the Holy
This is the Holy
The Holy City
The Holy City
It's the city
You ever seen all your niggas catch a case
Right
You ever seen tears on your momma face
Right
This is the Holy
This is the Holy
The Holy City
The Holy City
It's the city
The Holy City
It's the city

They make us made
We burn
We burn
Even when we celebrate
Even when we celebrate
We burn
We burn
Well since self hate
Is learned
Is learned
Remember who got you in a headlock
Before another Lord
Suffer from a head shot

I say
Home of the fearless
Home of the brave
Uplifting these people
Up outta this cave
Cops call us all zeros huh
Call me Bruce Wayne
Boo
Hands up don't shoot
Don't shoot
You know that we innocent
You know that we innocent
We just bout damn finish
Or all the attacks
Gotta excuse the black on black
Crimes
Suit the ones that did it
Not
The ones that didn't
Progressive oppression
For anger suppressing
The lack of direction
Excuse the aggression
We learned from the best
Lords
We digressed
Can't point one fingers
Gotta look around
Can't blame the sheets this time
Who else burned this hill down

Mmmmmm
You ever seen all your niggas catch a case
Right
You ever seen tears on your momma face
Right
This is the Holy
This is the Holy
The Holy City
The Holy City
It's the city
You ever seen all your niggas catch a case
Right
You ever seen tears on your momma face
Right
This is the Holy
This is the Holy
The Holy City
The Holy City
It's the city
The Holy City
It's the city

The Holy City
It's the city

The Holy City
It's the city

The Holy City
It's the city
