North Side Prayers

Drop

Clicking on the corner

Walking with a heater

Verse 1

Block stays burning while the cameras keep turning

Thinking 'bout the bridge that I should be burning

Watching for the plain clothes spinning on the boulevard

Wishing that my heart wasn't beating quite this hard

Hiding behind glass in the back of the sedan

Counting up the paper till I feel like a man

Shadows in the alleyway

Checking every face today

Pre-Chorus

Mama said pray for the boys on the north side

Keep your head down and stay tucked inside

Everything changed since the homie took a dive

Lord only knows how we staying alive

Chorus

Wind blowing cold through the sirens in the air

Sirens in the air

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care

Looking at the world through a broken metal fence

Nothing 'round here ever making any sense

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care

Verse 2

Graffiti on the brick where the brother lost his life

Washing off the stains with a rusted pocket knife

Tires leave a mark on the frozen grey asphalt

Blaming everyone else for a bitter person's fault

Every single day feels shorter than the last one

Trying to be first and never be the last one

Flowers on the sidewalk

Listen to the ghost talk

Pre-Chorus

Mama said pray for the boys on the north side

Keep your head down and stay tucked inside

Everything changed since the homie took a dive

Lord only knows how we staying alive

Chorus

Wind blowing cold through the sirens in the air

Sirens in the air

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care

Looking at the world through a broken metal fence

Nothing 'round here ever making any sense

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care

Drop

Clicking on the corner

Walking with a heater

Blowing like a fan

Watching for the man

Chorus

Wind blowing cold through the sirens in the air

Sirens in the air

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care

Looking at the world through a broken metal fence

Nothing 'round here ever making any sense

I don't see no pity or a reason to care

Reason to care
