This Ain`t Living Lyrics

This Ain`t Living lyrics

This town`s so hype it`s got sould 
As a Philly cat 
I`m with the roll 
And the swing of my things 
How they work like clockwork 
Tick tock tick tock 
Times always lurking in your head

Got to go to work and get fed 
That man didn`t eat but he goes to sleep 
Gets up at dawn not to see the sunrise 
But because it`s too damn cold outside 
Underneat the bridge they punp the city`s bilge 
Into the alley they sweep the city`s filth 
The flowers wilt the flowers wilt 
Don`t tell me about no game 
Cause that is a man 
And his family 
Revolution family 
Look at the family 
Dig the family 
They`re living the wrong way 
Can`t get nothing 
Don`t get nothing all they wanted was 
Something like a job - mercy mercy 
But its robbed - mercy mercy 
And there`s so many street side 
Beggars and disabled veterans 
Glass-eyed and peddling 
Drunk and just meddling 
So you conclude it`s their fault 
They like the street they must like the asphalt 
But that is man woman and children 
The system has stalled shelter`s home 
That`s not what I call it 
I call it bad health 
Some say help themselves 
Yo if you you gots it

Every hundred people a dollar in change 
Every hundred people a dollar in change

This ain`t living 
This ain`t living 
Oh no

You know it`s rough, had enough of holding a 
Cup full of spare change 
The doctor diagnosed me as a 
Dome full of bad brains 
So, toe to toe with employers 
Cause they`re telling me no 
Hooked on prescription drugs 
So I stay broke, I`d run away 
But you can`t run away from

Yourself or your health so 
I deal with the cards that I`m dealt 
Tweet-a-leet-leet 
The morning bird sounding sweet 
Though I sleep on the streets 
I have a feeling I`m free 
From society`s hand picked hypocrisy 
Mercy mercy don`t give a damn for me 
Mercy mercy now what am I going to eat 
Peek through the windows of the restaurant 
People eating caviar fifty bucks on lunch 
A hand-me-down meal 
Full of god knows what 
Put it away in my gut 
Quick and then I wonder 
Why I`m sick, brick for brick 
I know the city like my hand print 
Just a pit in the gutter 
Of a skid-row ditch 
But I`ll survive the pain 
Let me know I`m alive 
But I still feel that 
This ain`t living

Check my beat dig they rhythm 
Me belly full but me hungry so I fill it 
Once I start gaining taxes start taking 
Cause the governments perfected funk faking 
Breaking me down striking me down 
What goes around comes around but 
I keep rising seeing through the lies and 
The surprise comes when I see myself 
The music I felt 
I`m on

This ain`t living 
This ain`t living 
Oh no
