Night The City Cried Lyrics - Singles - U-god

*police radio* (humming) 

(U-God) 

Night falling, red dawn, without warning or beef 

Late night city life, in the dark Manhattan fog, creep 

wit' cats and dogs become meat 

All that is sacred 

My body lay naked 

Aching for some weeks, maybe it was a hostage taken 

Some money making Jamaican 

High for thuggery disgrace on did him ugly, kicked his bloody face in 

Maybe he was mistaken for some great man 

In a dirty place he lay in a gray basement 

Shaking his scabs, crack bag, stabbed up four times, strong! 

With a long rusty Jason 

Dumped the smoldering corpse in a dumpster truck of garbage 

In this mad man hell he laid in 

Logical was hatred 

Some replacement killer came through, left small traces 

Engraved his chest 

Left him for death 

Left him on his last breath 

Crawling, just to make a statement (hu hu huh) 

In this matrix 

Subconsciously gazing the soft shell of a man 

Somehow found, amazing! 

By the department of sanitation 

Under city lights to the hospital 

Hit him with the chest rockers, shockers 

Pop him open just to keep his heart racing (Clear)

(Chorus) 

Will he make it? 

Will he survive? 

Terror in his eyes 

Night the city cries 

Payback is crime 

He damn near died 

Banished my wounds not mine 

The city cries, drama ride 

Guns out the window, slide 

Before me now the city cries 

(U-God) 

Photos 

Unconscious for months (beep beep) 

Deep in coma shock 

When you awoke, it was hope 

Dry throat 

Choking off tools, being fed ice cubes 

Pain in you head 

Change of the bed 

Doped up and soaking while police on top 

Doctors monitor your heart (heart beating) 

Sergeant Bilko came in with some zombie ass cops 

What we have here the chief embraces 

In his hands he pulls out two briefcases 

A picture popped up on computer 

One woman, one man, sharpshooter 

He asked you do you remember these two faces? 

'Mind you you're blind, completely hung out to dry, victimized 

Violated as if you was raped 

What the hell 

You escape well 

Police investigated the scene 

Scrape the crime scene 

Down to the bone panel 

While you lay frail in the enamel 

Under you nails in the scuffle 

You scratched some DNA samples that match 

The blood on your clothes are not yours, it was his 

Right before you blacked out, took that blow 

In September, you can't remember 

You ripped his nose ring 

Right out his nose 

Before he took it four times in the ribs 

But somehow he lived 

>From the little bit of blood you grabbed 

His skin type, you ran it back to forensic labs 

Your finger prints popped up 

This is where it begins 

Your street name was Henry the Saint 

Staten Island's where your crib was at 

Park Hill project was your outlet 

You was a target 

Or organized outfit 

Not by the mafia, this where it get chills 

Your wife hired some hitman to kill you for your ten million dollar will 

Money fund drill 

Booby trapped perhaps 

Left his food for the rats 

Now... 

(Chorus) 

Will you make it? 

Will you survive? 

Terror in your eyes 

Night the city cries 

Payback is crime 

You damn near died 

Bandaged by wounds not mine 

The city cries, drama ride 

Guns out the window slide 

Before me now the city cries 

(U-God) 

One cop's weakness 

Was heroic, he exposed pieces 

Leaked out information 

On surveillance where his wife was staying 

Police tracked her down 

Blood hound on the east side of town 

In some skyscraper 

They had video tapes of her 

And some porn star fling, her and the next door neighbor 

And the killer with the nose ring 

But the police didn't have a case 

'Cause the victim couldn't remember a thing 

Not even a face 

He had to clear his name 

He bit off more than he could chew 

His absent minded flash backs grew 

And grew to hate 

He had to escape 

To ICU 

On the second day he came through 

He concocted the impossible 

The psych' slipped out the cuffs 

Somehow killed to armed guards (bang, bang) 

Grabbed their guns 

Before he fled the hospital, slivers into the night 

If police hunting was right 

He's seeking for justice 

Off point bulletin 

On a black male Jamaican 

Meanwhile a dark lookable crook 

Is in a alleyway for retaliation 

A limo pulled across the street from a gas station 

He saw his wife 

And the nigga that knifed him 

He wanted to mash him 

He was real patient 

A devilish growl sensation 

And the rain grew to a foul meditation (sound of rain) 

Of betrayal, murder revenge 

Bitch that set you up will get hers in the end 

In the hall of the lobby floor 

Security on post 

Got gun butted three times in the head with the old dusty toast 

Now he slipped past the video cameras undetected 

To the 25th floor 

Apartment 504 

When he rang the bell (ding dong) sweet voice said 

She cracked it open, her reply I thought you was dead 

In a matter of seconds and inches 

The door was hanging off the hinges (crash) 

Her eyes met the metal 

She screamed Oh my God 

Out the back room the killer with the nose ring 

Smashed the nigga in the head with a porcelain vase 

Shots ricochet like lightning roads 

Put the bimbo in arms 

The drapes caught on fire, with no alarm 

They crashed out the window, but they somehow held on 

Dangling from a hundred stories high 

Don't doubt him 

Will he make it? 

Continued next album 

(Chorus) 

Will he make it? 

Will he survive? 

Terror in his eyes 

Night the city cries 

Payback is crime 

He damn near died 

Bandaged by wounds not mine 

The city cries, drama ride 

Guns out the window slide... 

Golden Arm is as good as his reputation says 

With his bare hands he stood all of us off 

And if he had weapons... 

Golden Arm never uses weapons 

Says he doesn't need them 

He says using his bare arms is the best 

And he's probably right 

Nobody's beaten him yet 

Just using his arms he beat us all then 

We had no chance 

He had us cold
