People smoking rock
right around the clock.
Bums picking cans like
they were working
for the man.
Hookers pulling jobs
in between sobs.
Dealers on the corner
Selling heroin.
Take a peak
at your city.
This could be
your family.
Take a peak
at your city.
Inner city.
Inner city.
The cops don't give a fuck.
Johns lurking in pic ups.
People roll up their windows
when they drive around here.
Clothes torn and tattered,
lives beat and battered.
People sneak a peak and
then they drive away.
