In The City Lyrics - Dog Eat Dog

East side, west side 

larcency and homicide 

people trying to survive. 

Prostitution, retribution 

toxic waste and air pollution 

politics: no solution. 

I've come from the other side of town 

This concrete jungle's got me down 

I feel the heet, from the street 

Live in the city, 

die in the city. 

Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty. 

Laugh in the city, 

cry in the city. 

It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty. 

Uptown, downtown 

On the streets and underground 

People trying to get around. 

Skyscrapers, money makers 

New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers 

One too many circuit brakers.
