hands up/psycho circus

Intro

Ay

Ay

Everybody hands up

Let me hear you

Verse 1

West side raised on the broken pavement

Mama cried quiet when she lost her payment

Never had a handout never asked for favors

Learned to take what's mine with these calloused labor hands

Streetlights flicker like the hope I'm chasing

Blood on the concrete but I keep on pacing

Pre-Chorus

Now the whole block watching when I step outside

They can smell the hunger got nowhere to hide

I been grinding in the dark while they all slept

Ten toes down while the city wept

Chorus

Everybody hands up let me hear you scream it out

Let me hear you let me hear you no doubt

We came up from nothing let the bass knock low

West coast thunder watch the whole block go

Post-Chorus

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Verse 2

Momma's picture in my pocket tattered at the seams

Every night I talk to her while I count the dreams

They said I wouldn't make it they said I'd be gone

Now I'm building empires from the crack of dawn

Ran with the wolves learned to howl from the fence

Lost a couple brothers never made it back again

Tears stained my hoodie where the sorrow lived

But anger built a fortress that the pain couldn't give

Pre-Chorus

Got the city on my shoulders can't afford to trip

Every scar on my body like a missing link

Went from cursed to blessed with the cold in my chest

Now they all want the story from the one who's left

Chorus

Everybody hands up let me hear you scream it out

Let me hear you let me hear you no doubt

We came up from nothing let the bass knock low

West coast thunder watch the whole block go

Drop

Hands up hands up hands up

Let me hear you let me hear you

Hands up hands up hands up

West side forever

Bridge

They took my sunshine left the rain on my face

But I turned every tear into a crown of grace

Sadness in my melody anger in my veins

Melodic through the madness singing through the pain

Chorus

Everybody hands up let me hear you scream it out

Let me hear you let me hear you no doubt

We came up from nothing let the bass knock low

West coast thunder watch the whole block go
