New Jerusalem

Each Block full of cops and stray shots that spot and show the stash rats and infinit trash 
speakers blast weed and hash dispatch mash whores and cash jealousy splash blood spills 
landfills alcoholics who drink nyquil no frill foods and young uns rude slaughter lewd acts 
coke and crack vein slaps used jim hats in poisonous snatch aids attack political traps dt 
adapt or better yet attach years of crap scared and strapped studio raps fades and naps 
preacher slacks jump rope and jacks actual facts make any fraud collapse jump to the next 
beat crumblin sheets so manifique vessel lettin jewwels leak wise cries crusty eyes judges I 
despise as the chicken fry I ask why is freedom denied and govermental pressure applied 
here's the Queen city the light shining bright that handed me a beautiful wife and 4 seeds to 
complete our life many strike and lash here's a black but pucker suckers steppin utilizing 
non-destructive weapons ever so destined God's grace embrace a misunderstood race 
searchin for a meaningful place we're not waste court case sent my rage circumvents wit a 
toke of hemp bent ignores the rent due win no lose wit holes in my shoes take it next level 
tru rebel mellow hello peace the faith that increase pray in the streets constant relief from a 
soulsonic beat let's leap on cloud nine peops watch those that greet meek never weak 
deeper than most chocolate amazon close sexy exotic fiberoptic tune in from day one 
zoomin bloomin no coonin fist side by side Activist reactin making things happen minus 
nappin law enforcement slaps and attack areas hood when it's the Europeans who always up 
to no good. DEDICATED to all Black and Latino people dying in NEWARK!
