Baltimore
Here leads to nowhere
Here is forsaken
Baltimore City...
One never ending chain of psycho hysterics
It goes gangs, then murder, drugs, poverty and then it repeats
Death is always knocking at your door
And here is the struggle of minority America
Poverty and government welfare
Baltimore...
The city of lost hope, broken dreams, and crack fiends
Baltimore...
This ain't my scene
