On LaRue Avenue
I
saw the blind man crossing the street
I
heard the hungry child with no food to eat
I
knew a homeless woman her roof was the sky
I
feared the holy man whose love was a lie
On
LaRue Avenue they sing the blues
Poor
man never stops paying his dues
Welcome
to the hood see the clues
On
LaRue Avenue they live the blues
The
Hustle never ends what are friends
A
way out no doubt so the dreamer pretends
A
scam a plan we’re gonna stick it to the man
Let
the whole word burn I don’t give a damn
On
LaRue Avenue they sing the blues
Poor
man never stops paying his dues
Welcome
to the hood see the clues
On
LaRue Avenue they live the blues
Hey
brother could you give a little time
I
was born with rhythm but I need a rhyme
Meanwhile
Pan patriots call home the lost
From
this slow-motion commotion holocaust
On
LaRue Avenue they sing the blues
Poor
man never stops paying his dues
Welcome
to the hood see the clues
On
LaRue Avenue they live the blues
Sweet
Mother Mary skin black as coal
Revolting
against insulting ground control
Our
best come to rest by violent means
Over
and over like horrid movie scenes
Nameless
civilians known by numbers alone
Rappers
caught in traps let go a gruesome groan
The
ghost of gentrification glowing mighty white
I
promise that I’ll go down with a fight
On
LaRue Avenue they sing the blues
Poor
man never stops paying his dues
Welcome
to the hood see the clues
On
LaRue Avenue they live the blues
