PnB Rock - My City Needs Something Lyrics

(Superstar Beats)

I don't know what's goin' on
But I know that something's wrong
And I know that lately my city has been crazy
It's like every day somebody gone
And every time I turn around I hear them gun sounds
Cop signs, man, we need to put the guns down
Everybody wan' be a shooter scared to fight
So they take a life, ain't no one on ones now
All of this killin', I'm like when will it stop
And it really don't help that don't get no help from the cops
They hear a shootin' in the hood, they get late to the block
But they hear an officer down, they get straight to the block, it's crazy
I'm tired of hearin' 'bout these missin' babies
Stop the killin' and let's find all of these missin' babies
I wrote this song 'cause I know just how it feels
To lose somebody you love and that's real, that's why

I don't wan' look up, every time I look up
I can see them pictures hangin' on the wall
Talkin' 'bout my fam, yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout my dogs
Rest in peace 'em all, man I swear I miss 'em all
I don't wanna look up 'cause when I look up
I can see your face but I know you ain't there
Wan' call your phone but I know you won't answer
Why'd you have to go? Man, I swear this ain't fair
And I don't know what it is but my city need somethin'
People killin' people over nothin'
I swear it's like every day I wake up
Man, I hear somethin' like
Man, I miss my brother
Rest in peace my hitter
Man, they took my sister
I swear we need somethin' different but I don't know what it is

Waited all winter for this crazy summer
Who would think that they would take so many from us
I come from the city where they show no love
They killin' innocent people, man, that so messed up
Good die young, ain't how it's supposed to be
Every time I turn around I lose somebody close to me
I try and hold back the tears and be a soldier see
But memories and pain just seem to take a hold of me
My city need somethin', we need it real bad
I'm tired of yellow tape, so tired of teddy bears
I'm sick of kids growin' up without their mom and dads
And cops killin' left and right, hey, man, what's up with that?
Prayin' for my city, yeah, it's goin' down
I swear in these streets, it's like a war now
You could get shot just from walkin' down the block
Little kids ain't safe playin' on the porch now
And it's gettin' worse every day
I swear when your folks die it hurts every day
And you don't even notice when it fade away
'Cause you're so focused on tryin' to take the pain away
I swear my city need a better way
And I don't think there's nothin' left to say
I wrote this song 'cause I know just how it feels
To lose somebody you love and that's real, that's why

I don't wan' look up, every time I look up
I can see them pictures hangin' on the wall
Talkin' 'bout my fam, yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout my dogs
Rest in peace 'em all, man I swear I miss 'em all
I don't wanna look up 'cause when I look up
I can see your face but I know you ain't there
Wan' call your phone but I know you won't answer
Why'd you have to go? Man, I swear this ain't fair
And I don't know what it is but my city need somethin' (yeah, they do)
People killin' people over nothin' (yeah, they is)
I swear it's like every day I wake up
Man, I hear somethin' like (what you hear?)
Man, I miss my brother (man, I miss my brother)
Rest in peace my hitter (rest in peace my hitter)
Man, they took my sister (they took my sister)
I swear we need somethin' different but I don't know what it is
