Urban Vibe

Urban Vibe 

I live at intersection insanity, inhumanity
Deep in the hood on avenue west profanity
Palm heights boulevard, more like roundabout of Vanity

Raining humiliation down at the High school girls locker,
With a chance of thick testosterone in the change room after soccer

Precipitation of ammunition
And an arson ignition
Deep in the hood
Causing mental disposition

In the city center, you worry for your commission
Is a whole different mind set from the alleyway of malnutrition

All over the city temperature raises,
as blood filled streets twist and turn like mazes

I need to leave town it's got a bad urban vibe 
Forgive and let live is what i personally prescribe.
