Story Behind The Song

Walking through the parking lot at my old apartment complex I saw several empty plastic vials of drugs all over and that scene prompted me to write this song. It is a warning to young boys and girls not to get caught up in the craze...

Lyrics

CRACK CITY

They've turned this place into a
Crack City
What are we going to do?
I see them raping in a
Crack City
The things I've heard are true
Them brothers dying in-a
Crack City
Some young sisters too
They're killing people in-a
Crack City
The victims are me and you

Crack City - It's a happening place in America
Crack City - A total disgrace it will shock ya!

Pushers and addicts rule the streets
Harassing and mugging people they meet
Homeless people living in a haze
Young street walkers caught up in the craze

It's a dog eat dog society
With a get rich quick mentality

Crack City - It's a dangerous place in America
Crack City - A nation's disgrace it will shock ya!

Violence is all they know
Everything's gone no place to go
Kids smoke it in broad daylight
And no one can stop them
They say they have the right

So my children beware
Please don't go down there
They want some respect
But in the end you're the one with the regrets
'Cause they'll use, abuse you
They will push around
And in the end no peace will be found
(Rest In Peace)

Just remember
Every dollar you take
A brother's life is at stake
And every cent that you spend
So many lives come to an end
And every vial you sell
Someone ends up in hell
And every vial you break
Your own life is at stake

My brothers, my sisters
We've got a job to do
They're killing people in-a
Crack City

The victims are me and you
The victims are me and you
The victims are me and you

'Cause it's a dog eat dog society
With a get rich quick mentality
