Inna City Mamma

(New York, just like I pictured it)

(Skyscrapers and everything)

Inna city love

Crushed me into a pulp

I trusted you

When I loved you from a distance

And your skyline made me a promise

In my safe world to be somebody

In your city to own your streets

Where I'd strut, covered in money

Shattered dreams, it ain't funny

Now I look at you with tears in my eyes

The good, the bad, the ugly

As I start to cry, I search for the sky

Taste the breeze

And watch a block of docking clouds they're coming

Inna city mamma, you bore another child

To be a victim of your cold blooded ways

Inna city love from the gutter

So destructive when you sing your blues

I want to love you, baby, I don't mean maybe, baby

But I need everything you got (You can't break your promise)

I'm inna city hunger, you think you're tough, I'm stronger

If you're weak I'll eat you up

I'm gonna touch you

Where you've never been touched before

And by your spine

I'll bruise your veins and touch your very core

Let my concrete be your red carpet

My shooting galleries, your personal starship

Give me all your dreams, this city loves you

Use my roots to deliver your body

Under my skies where you make your money

You rejected love, but this city loves you

Inna city mamma, you bore another child

To be a victim of your cold blooded ways

Inna city love from the gutter

So destructive when you sing your blues

Inna city mamma, you bore another child

To be a victim of your cold blooded ways

Inna city love from the gutter

So destructive when you sing your blues

Inna city mamma, you bore another child

To be a victim of your cold blooded ways

Inna city love from the gutter

So destructive when you sing your blues

Inna city love, inna city momma, inna city love

You hurt me, (Inna city love) real bad (Inna city love)

You meant to love me (Inna city love)

And you cut me up (Inna city love)

Into too many little pieces

But I wanna love you (Inna city love)

(Inna city love)

I trusted you (Inna city love)

And you crushed me into a pulp (Inna city love)

Inna city mamma (Inna city love)
