Ocean View Lyrics - One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion

blood done been running down 

streets flood with beats 

pepper spray over cracked concrete 

so vicious make a rich mans neck split 

underworld bout to wreck shit bet this 

banks closed stomachs churning 

lines and rows cops blastin out church windows 

they heard word of two on a terror list 

hid in the pews just two city terrace kids 

one held a piece just for peace of mind 

the other was spittin poems blowin minds 

on the picket line 

barricades lay cross made with bumpers 

and burning tires 

and you could smell the exhaust 

and you could hear the kids screaming don't 

play us, too close 

you can have the mic or the heater 

but you can't hold both 

and they were both 

and they were both 

ocean of tears rise, 

rise a flame to tear them down 

ocean of past crimes 

now fill our hearts to tear them down 

the water main's cut off panic 

hit the manor of the 

mayor who's soft 

word hit the streets 

that the cops got off 

they shook to rhythm of heaters 

that burned like claps of thunder 

you turn to look at vengeance 

returned that shatter control 

after the whole shock of the news 

that a bomb hit the 

bridge at broadway 

gridlock full stop 

every exit way 

from Chavez to main 

downtown was the same 

every corner a flame 

with lines of people 

stripped of they clothes 

freeze hold up your ID's 

their houses burned as they watched 

the colonel looked at his clock 

and they were all 

and they were all 

oceans of tears rise, 

rise a flame to tear them down 

ocean of past crimes 

now fill our hearts to tear them down
