Lyrics

Hand Me the Mic Verse 1: I've been mesmerized by your vibe when i look into her eyes she says don't look into my eyes wanna watch the sun rise every single morning since i was born in 1983 Milwaukee and i'm still crawling on my way to st kate's on 51st street just another memory another feeling an untapped melody over eric's beat complete a feeling that i have never felt defeat a feeling that i will never let beat me see i'm seeking higher ground i'm not running this town i'm part of the sound and i can feel it's heart beat it's a part of me each pot hole is lick a bruise on me another robbery that's still news to me as long a my parents are still on 54th St. Chorus: I wanna let the sun shine high in the sky for my city Verse 2: Hand me the mic and let me spit this it's mandatory in between these two worlds on this earth like in purgatory been around the world and i can't find myself kind of soul searching you don't find on a shelf note to self you're beautiful and you show it your watering and your growing every moment that your making is a moment your creating every moment that your faking is a moment that your taking away from life and i was always pleased by the colors on the leaves falling falling falling from the trees it reminded me of sun calling for reprieve but what what what does that mean in this city full of grief with more jobs in the streets than more jobs at the peak you wonder why we freaking mary jane on like every other weekend just so we can keep our hopes up as the week begins Chorus: I wanna let the sun shine high in the sky for my city
