[Narrative Track ]

In this part of the story, the good and bad path's converge, as the kid rides the train into the city to start his day. The track is meant to describe DC and the metro area surrounding it.

lyrics

The city's lights shining bright, but the reaper below
(he) keep a runnin toll, meticulously logged in a scroll
it put a hex on ur soul, my message stresses, hittin xs and os,
chose, methods that leave em froze, like heron up in ur nose
we relentless, yet composed automatic emphatic,
deliberative dynamics, rhyme subliminal mechanics
damage, literally balanced, criminal tactics manage
succession at any challenge, ain no part of it unbalanced
malice, fillin up the streets, stick up kids move discreet
others do what they gotta do to eat, emcees droppin heat
like a cycle, it all repeat, my cypher always unique
like a sniper, my rifle sleek, ill lyrikill u in my sleep

My city constantly in change, congas and bales
gain, percussive upper handed range
coupled with a native sound, particular to this town
gentrifacation push the niggas out to hoods around
so pg county, they bound, but still, within the tri state
the system make em irrate, the, criminal mind state
procedure feature high stakes, leakin thru pipe breaks
up in tenements, price weight, to push a slice,
and make some nice cake, be wise, jake, be watchin out
on the night scape alive, wait, eyes faked
like pupils dialate, and most, be higher than the crime rate
bustin nines annihalate, survivin fate
blaze a L and exhale, then contemplate what u inhaled like a
letter u send up in the mail requestin county for bail
the citys lights be sittin pretty, (but) really, juss go to show
When u see the city lights, beware of that which below
