I'll keep my faith alive

Cause this is paradise or parricide


I can't believe this sight


Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes

The streets won't sleep tonight


A lullaby for the half-alive


The city swings and whines

To the double crime of drugs and hard times





Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city sirens sing the night away


The city feels like a cage


Feels like a powder keg

That's almost set to explode





Lion city's begun to rot

It's a matter of time until the roaring stops


The scene from the ground up


From the painted walls to the rooftops

My city's closed and locked


While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks


The haves and the have-nots

Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots





lion city sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city sirens sing the night away


There's an overdose on me


And he does the cocaine shake

Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away





The city seems like it's trapped

Between its future and its past


Life or death of a city not coming back


The city feels like a cage

Feels like a powder keg


And now it's gonna explode




Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away


Lion city sirens sing the night away

There's an overdose on me


And it's wearing out good things

Cause lion city sirens sing the night away

Sing the night away


Sing the night away

And I won't be long
