Lyrics
Skyline
Intro:
have you even fallen in love with an a Image of something and you think its just so perfect
but when you peal back the layer it actually falls short of your expectations.
Chorus:
Underneath the Sky,
truth between the lies,
Dollar signs make the cities rise,
Gotta read between the lines of the skyline.
Verse: 1
16 year of age and she's in a rage
mamas going through thangs, daddys gone for days
with no place to turn, way to young to learn
she runs into vern , with no love to burn
he puts her on the street, to get her in her feet
put her between the sheets, cause she gots to eat
no idea who she'd meet in between the sheets
but he planted a seed called HIV,
ain't no turning back she's faced with the fact
that she's added her self to the list of statistical blacks.
now she's on her way, looking for a better day
but all she's got to do is pray and she will see that love is just a touch
she doesn't see it as enough to get her through this time
she keeps playing it over and over in side her mind
if you listen close enough you can hear her cryin
through the out line of the sky line.
Chorus:
Underneath the Sky,
truth between the lies,
Dollar signs make the cities rise,
Gotta read between the lines of the skyline.
Verse 2
Another death due to murder,
in the knife goes as the blood flows
watching expression on faces as they die slow.
feeling no remorse, the course is premeditated,
watching peers cry tears while the word sorry is so easily stated.
the mind is criminal, with an evil killing style
clear and present danger with each rotation of the chamber, you slipping into a fatal manger,
you dropped your guards give my regards to those angels.
cause each blow to the temple was fatal,
7 shots to the migraine now a blood stain remains,
its hard to refrain from all the kayos,
and remain under sayonse to avoid the pain we contain glocks.
small formalities turned into complications
devastation's await the pit falls of another fait
as I look out from this side of the sky line , I'm asking my self why must they die.
Chorus:
Underneath the Sky,
truth between the lies,
Dollar signs make the cities rise,
Gotta read between the lines of the skyline.
Verse 3
The finger Print of the city is so artificial,
horizons of the perfect structures are so monumental
but as you start to peal layers back in Incremental's
the city structures doesn't compare to the Sentimental's
the inner workings are concerned with developmental's
even though its detrimental to environmental's
governmental concerns are full of incidental's,
not paying for stability its all experimental .
coincidentally, things happen accidentally, blame is not placed to a face but compartmentally.
the unaffected act unempathetically, causing effected reacts Temperamentally they have the right when it effects their disability.
no humility when dealing with these facilities,
the only thing that they see is profitability
cashing in on the cities vulnerability.
Chorus:
Underneath the Sky,
truth between the lies,
Dollar signs make the cities rise,
Gotta read between the lines of the skyline.
