Baltimore

We cry, we cry for tonight

Cops coming in the morning

We cry, we cry for tonight

Police don't come until the morning

Till the morning

Oh, it's not safe to say

That I didn't give you warming

Let's raise these walls up

'Cause like us they been pulled down

Every sign that you hold up

Should be worn like a crown

And who do you turn to

When your color's a crime?

Who told you, brother

That love has two sides?

Sirens that it does

Never come to our call

And these streets make us favors

For the times that we fall

You can see clearer

When standing our cause

Don't you hate what it takes now

For them to see who you are?

We cry, we cry for tonight

Cops coming in the morning

We cry, we cry for tonight

Police don't come until the morning

Till the morning

Oh, it's not safe to say

That I didn't give you warming

We cry, we cry for tonight

Cops coming in the morning

We cry, we cry for tonight

Police don't come until the morning

Till the morning

Oh, it's not safe to say

That I didn't give you warming

Sirens that it does

Never  come to our call

And these streets make us favors

For the times that we fall

You can see clearer

When standing our cause

Don't you hate what it takes now

For them to see who you are?

We cry, we cry for tonight

Cops coming in the morning

We cry, we cry for tonight

Police don't come until the morning

Till the morning

Oh, it's not safe to say

That I didn't give you warming

I didn't give you warning

We cry, we cry for tonight

We cry, we cry for tonight
