Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Warm clouds no sunrise

Warm clouds no sun...

[Verse 1: I.N.X]

Warm clouds no sunrise

This here were i reside

Empty chambers and dry eyes

Aging backwards, time dies

Born in the dirt, and die in the crevice

Don't fight da flow of ya life is da lesson

Sippin on something to keep me in check

Social norms'll make you wild for respect

But will you die for respect...

Fuck it i will digress

Cuz you niggas can't see how the powers that be

Teach you to be oppressed

But its not all ya fault cuz da resources given are broken at best

So the culture of poverty's perpetuated to paint us as less

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

But da health of the planet just keep gettin worst

The pollution of man i so despise

Brown ocean, grey skies

No clouds, sun dies

Tell me if dis is da future of us

I see why in heaven dat God cries...

God cries, tears from heaven's eyes...

Now jus let da beat ride

Now just let da beat ride

God cries, tears from heaven's eyes...

Now just let da beat ride

Now just let da beat ride

[Hook]

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Blue ocean, clear skies

Warm clouds no sunrise

Warm clouds no sunrise

Warm clouds no sun...

[Verse 2: Aris Sparks]

Take two shots for the dearly departed

The city made me lion hearted

But let me take it back to where it all first started

Way back when I told my mother we'd be top charted

Working mad doubles just to make the ends meet

Did the ends meet? (nah)

Nah but maybe next week

Many nights I wonder why my mother ain't eat

Watching d-boys on the corner from my window seat it's like the grass so green (uh)

Out of money and its so tempting

Especially when the honey's want a nigga that's flexing

Imagine being twelve gripping a Smith and Wesson

Difference between me and them, I learned the lesson

Seen a nigga bleeding out, red tee blessing

But it still got a nigga stressing

Cuz I know the devil been testing

PoPo arresting

Never make the same moves to keep a nigga guessing

[Outro: Dr. Yasser A. Payne]

You have a community or neighborhoods that are under siege

Right

By the structural systems

Right

So you have communities that are sustained in poverty or structural violence

Right

And for us and what we found in the study is that the structural violence is predicting the violence in the city
