heart of the city - ricky official lyrics

hook:
ooh
in the heart of the city
is where the devil lies
but my soul stays true
i ain’t nothing but a man trying to survive
oooh
in the streets of the city
we walk every night
searching for a change
doing what we know
just to stay alive

verse:

everyday we hustle
everyday we pray
live is but a struggle
we see it day by day
on the way to work or just around the way
we see it everywhere no matter where we stay
mom is working hard
dad’s playing his part
trying to make a living and still don’t drift apart
40 hour shifts 20 at the club
dollar dollar bill shorty hustles to come up
she’s sliding down the poll for the love of paper
men calling her hoe
her daughter calls her later
mommy where you at please look at my school paper
school loans getting paid so her future can be greater
no she can’t be less
no she can’t be less
her husbands started drinking
to relief his distress
life can be a mess
if you don’t see no success
so we hustle to survive
in these streets without no rest

verse:

we wake up henny sipping
cigarette smoking always tripping
always on the move
chasing things we’re never getting
dipping in the devils sauce
sinning for a higher cause
employed at the lowest jobs
till one day we be the boss
we’re not good at handling stress
so d-mn pr-ne to be depressed
don’t you dare to push my b-ttons
if my day has been a mess
push the b-tton on the beat
mute them noises of the street
write my views on all these papers
till my f-cking fingers bleed
all this bullsh-t that we read
has us craving for a tread
so we go to see the doctor
have him go prescribe that weed
they bereave us on our soul
but see we don’t really care
who needs a soul anyhow
in a d-mn world where n-body cares
really though n-body cares
we see grieve and we stop and stare
sh-t don’t changes anyhow
tomorrow it still will be there
hope our children will be there
to clean up what we left behind
striving for a better day until it’s tilt
for all mankind

verse:

a lot of us do walk alone
praying to the holy father
growing up without a father
single moms who have it harder
they gotta provide that loving
put that food up in that oven
toughing up the kids alone
hoping cops will never cuff em
in the streets the jerks are lurking
d-mn that jail system is working
trying to survive the jungle
hustling struggling d-mn we working
cops supposed to go and serve us
instead they go shoot and murk us
blah blah blah
history still separates us
so we rebels with a cause
they have plans with secret cause
commanders are leading wars
on a pale black f-cking horse
money power greed
k!lls of all remorse
hate infiltrates the head
d-mn where is the love
people getting k!lled
for speaking or just trying
on what it is they do
and how they keep dividing
so let us be aware
and start to rearrange
self awareness is the key
for a world to change
