Up above the downtown market bricks
Right now a boy gets old
A boy gets bitter
A boy learns not to trust
Someone inside his room
The door locks tight
You keep the door locked
Months went by and doors got kicked in
Two outlaws collecting what they loaned
In a room beside my walls
A girl gets choked
She can't pay back the loan
48 more hours to go
"48 more hours" that's all they say
In two more nights
I hear a sound
A shrill from one thin wall away
Every place is the same
Every day is the same
Every place is the same
Violent
There's a conflicting sound
Hear the arguments loud
Everyday, the sounds of the
Violent violent violent
I moved uptown a bit
Not much changed
Conflict is never gone
But just as a calm sets in
A police line barricades
A place next door I asked
Around the lot a store
Clerk told me two young
Kids were shot mother
Was near the tracks dragged
To where a train would go past
I checked in a room today Up above the downtown market bricks Right now a boy gets old A boy gets bitter A boy learns not to trust Someone inside his room The door locks tight You keep the door locked Months went by and doors got kicked in Two outlaws collecting what they loaned In a room beside my walls A girl gets choked She can't pay back the loan 48 more hours to go "48 more hours" that's all they say In two more nights I hear a sound A shrill from one thin wall away Every place is the same Every day is the same Every place is the same Violent There's a conflicting sound Hear the arguments loud Everyday, the sounds of the Violent violent violent I moved uptown a bit Not much changed Conflict is never gone But just as a calm sets in A police line barricades A place next door I asked Around the lot a store Clerk told me two young Kids were shot mother Was near the tracks dragged To where a train would go past Explain Request ×
