Love & War in the City (Live) Video (MV)

We got love in the city yeah yeah
And we got war in the city yeah yeah
And we got life in the city yeah yeah
But we've got to get down after dark

You know we got love in the city
Got friends in the city
Got fam in the city that's real
Plus we got hope in the city
Got life in the city
That's the pulse of the city you could feel
You know the heart beat of the city
Unique to the city
Something that they can't really put into words
Besides all the sights, sounds, and smells of the city
There's an energy that ain't in the burbs
The city got style the city got substance
Survival mind state making something out of nothing
Story of the slums young bucks and OGs
Block parties rent parties, just no tea ha,
Community youth leaders, teachers like Ujima
Murals, street cleaners, impossible dreamers
Don't get me wrong though it ain't all good
But there's beauty in them neighborhoods in the city

We got war in the city yeah yeah
And we got love in the city yeah yeah
We got war we got love
And we got life in the city yeah yeah
But we've got to get down after dark

But but but but you know
We got war in the city
Got dope in the city
Got crime in the city no doubt
Plus we got gangs in the city
Got traps in the city
Got rats in the city all around
Shit I got jumped in the city
Got robbed in the city
Run up on, guns drawn
By a cop in the city
Had a fiend stop me
No shame and no regret
Said she would give me head
In exchange for a cigarette
Ew
Too much to say it all
High disease rates and low test scores
More than just one kind of turf war
Wanna see the real crooks
Go down to city hall
A stick up kid might
Shake you for your jacket
A politician snatch up your life's assets
Slum lords poverty pimps in action
Believe things are very drastic
In the city

We got love in the city yeah yeah
And we got war in the city yeah yeah
And we got life in the city yeah yeah
But we've got to get down come on
After dark
After dark
After dark

We got we got love
We got we got life
We got we got love
We got in the city
We got we got love
We got we got life
We got we got love
We got in the city
We got we got in the city yeah
In the city yeah yeah
We got love and we got life
We got love in the city yo
In the city yo
Yeah
