Gotham

About to tell you about some realness
Not that fakeness
But that realness, you know what I'm sayin?
Hey it's me what's up? This is T. Karras
I come from the IE where people try to survive
But end up dyin', you know
Rest in peace to my homies in the graves
They didn't have to die, and I miss them
So there
Yeah
Let's a go

There be people pleadin' for help, you can't trust the police
There be corruption everywhere, it be like a disease
There be criminals no matter where you are on the map
Welcome to Gotham, there's no turnin' back
There ain't no one who can help you cause they want you dead
Everybody got their eyes on you, they want your bread
And they don't care how they get it, yes they all got gats
Welcome to Gotham, there's no turnin' back

There are signs outside tellin' you beware
When you set foot in city limits, better be aware
Take a look around you, this ain't Metropolis
It's a place where hope and optimism don't exist
When the sun is down, that's when the fun begins
And there ain't no escape from the city of sin
You got killers everywhere, officials corrupt and unfair
Everybody is scared and the cops don't even care
It's hard to have faith when you got two-faced jokers
Hidin' around every nook and yes those are locals
You gotta protect yourself, there ain't no batman to save you
Even with a gun and knife, the cycle still continues
Everyday's a situation and it's life and death
Will you survive another day or breathe your last breath
There ain't no relief in the city of Gotham
There are so many problems, yet nobody can solve them
Oh man

There be people pleadin' for help, you can't trust the police
There be corruption everywhere, it be like a disease
There be criminals no matter where you are on the map
Welcome to Gotham, there's no turnin' back
There ain't no one who can help you cause they want you dead
Everybody got their eyes on you, they want your bread
And they don't care how they get it, yes they all got gats
Welcome to Gotham, there's no turnin' back

Tried to tell ya, this some realness right here son
And no, I ain't lyin'
I've been down these streets
So I've experienced these streets
And I'm still here
This is T. Karras
San Bernardino, California
Signing off, peace
