Intro (sample)
V1 (Jeremy Martian)
A fire burns deep beneath the soles of my feet
The heat radiates in this soul of the street
The newsroom's facade paints a public mirage to how these people got here
When it's shot or get shot, it's true there is no god here
When there's no god you can see the devil in the smoke from an unloaded chamber
The chamber was unloaded cause its holder was in danger
Because he felt danger he banged up a stranger
Caught a 25 to life, now 25 years later to his son he'll be a stranger
His son grabbed a gun with no father figure
Figured he needed protection, protection from a weapon, protection with a weapon
Well his story told was similar, these tales of the sinister
Locked up as a prisoner, his girlfriend came a week later as a visitor
Said she's pregnant with his first son
The story ends the same way it begun
Chorus (Jeremy Martian)
25 to life 25 to life 25 to life trying to live past 25
25 to life 25 to life 25 to life can I live and stay alive pigs
(trying to live past 25 pigs
Can I live and stay alive pigs) x2
25 to life 25 to life 25 to life trying to live past 25
25 to life 25 to life 25 can I live and stay alive pigs
V2 (Jeremy Martian)
If he couldn't breathe then why were you still choking him?
If you can't breathe ma than why you still smoking them?
f**, that's real, that's life, how's that feel?
Just look outside, now Babylon that's real
And all they do is babble on that's real
Can we travel on to another place from this cell
From this hell, caught a life sentence born into this hell
Chorus (Jeremy Martian)
