insomnia

There's this ghetto bird
That keeps me up at night
Wondering which one of our brothers
Has fallen victim
To its propellor of death
They say
Not to follow the light
But like moths to a flame
We are singed by our curiousities
We can't get no satisfaction
This ghetto bird
Or shall I say
This urban bird
This keen watchful eye
Of our inner city communities
What do u want from we
Are u looking for me
Cuz I'm up
Can't sleep
Smoking this weed
Please
Just let us be
Ghetto bird
Your back again?
What do we need to do then
That will let you
Let us
Sleep peacefully...

raw contemporary stuff...the urban bird can really bug me sometimes...like Orwellian 1984
