WRAL News At 5 Lyrics

Police chief here in Raleigh said today that she is worried about the number of youth connected

To violent crime

In the shadow of a growing city skyline

This community has lost a lot of hope

Diana Powell is on the front lines

We look around to see the gentrification

Helping people who feel left behind

How could y'all understand?

No childhood through adolescence thought I was the man

From a wild hood, where I met killers playing in the sand

When we was young and bright eyed but still cared

Knocking on that crackhouse door like Aye my mama there ?

No love stories, Hell nah we watch drama here

You live by it die by it we learn karma here

But we don't cope with meditation

We smoke dope and drink liq and now we popping medication

So if you love me

Say you love me

It's a cold world

It gets ugly

No love in my city

It gets ugly

No love in my city

Say you love me

Love me

Say you love me

It's a cold world

It gets ugly

No love in my city

It gets ugly

No love in my city

Say you love me

We see more funerals then graduations

Aye Free the guys mass incarcerations

Momma wipe ya eyes time teach us patience

But I cant seem to find the virtues

The cops want you locked and the ops just wanna hurt you

But looking in them eyes my nigga, I see they hurt too

Pain turned to anger, neglect made em gang bangers

The only love they ever knew was the guys

So it's chin to the skies

When they twisting they fingers

So if you love me

Say you love me

It's a cold world

It gets ugly

No love in my city

It gets ugly

No love in my city

Say you love me

Love me

Say you love me

It's a cold world

It gets ugly

No love in my city

It gets ugly

No love in my city

Say you love me

We have people that are suffering

We have mental issues umm

We have people sleeping on the sidewalk
