Been outside in the war with the corner store Ford
New courts and post up
Hustle dummy rock, the crumby block
It's the people who want it more when they fiending for that good stuff
What they got was some bread with the crust all rough
Way that Michael Ray bag it sealed shut
But I bounce with you Bluetooth tucked away in my shoe
And be back again tomorrow, that's the science of it
The vegetation, the poverty reached troubled
They had children, nobody's tried to raise them
So the route passed on when the street went on
Looking for some crumbs to go and swipe up
Petty crimes, forgetting dimes, always seem to be in some type of Ville situation
But when the guns go off, be it dubs or cops
Another one's gone, life wasted

Yes, yes, y'all, got a lot from my chest
Bless, bless y'all, I can feel the city breathing
The new moon roll hot in the corners of the metropolis
Shining like one on top of this
Nobody's stopping this, too much velocity and mind power to be slaving by the hour
Running around the same dollar and it makes no sense
How many times you at this bar? How many drink you had at that bar?
Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes in an hour
What's the science, what's the math
Moses had a staff and he parted up the seas
But they got us outside selling chacha and Mickey Ds
Is this why fathers plant seeds? And mothers grow trees?
My uncle tells me keep a couple decks under my sleeve
'Cause if you don't, someone will and that you best believe
Science of the city and the city can't sleep
The city can't eat, survival ain't cheap, city blocks are always steep

And city lights don't help you see but knowledge reigns supreme, yo
The true philosophy, it ain't about a salary, it's all about reality

Open apple, end, that's a new day
Can't get the raise 'cause the flave' grade A to the grave
They slave to get paid, I shine like glow sticks at a rave
Without tossing cash this or that way
Another café, they another raw, that made helps consciousness
Because we whiling, becoming more hoarse, we only get stronger
I fear my only courage, my hope, my hunger
My understanding the man when I lend a hand
When my fam and friends in jam, hammers jamming, Uncle Sam'ing them
Megaphone rang and they planning the ram and glamming
We all know how that circumstance ends
Change filters on like I'm Instagraming, sounds check, stage racks
'Fore they bring the fans in

Science of the city, y'all
Science of the city, y'all
That's the science of the city, y'all
Science of the city, y'all
See the signs, it's a pity
Science of the city, y'all
That's the science of the city, y'all
Science of the city, y'all
See the signs, it's a pity
