Warm Clouds

[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 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
Sparks

[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
