I’m coming out guns blazing I’m givin’ you what you cravin This crown on top of my town while they campaign gentrification Makin' Jersey City yours when it was mine to begin with Put up another tower while our lives get diminished I watch politicians go on stage and lie every minute And when we die they justify it with the crimes we committed I'm refusing standing by to live my life as a witness I'll take my music and use it for this community business That's why every show I throw Imma give it to charity Money clouds up the mind and steers away from the clarity So I want Fulop to pull up and show his face in Greenville And tell us politicians don't go bury their head in green still While downtown's rising This weather be energizing I'm not lying I'll be the next face to end up dying Cause In my spot the sound of a gunshot is yo alarm clock And you ain't promised nothing walking home alone on my block Cause the summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time And that's just a thought of mine Wooh I said the summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time And that's just a thought of mine Wooh So you can catch me at the liquor store And ask me what I'm sipping for I had the hardest week at work but you know we still living poor Yeah we've been ignored Jersey all across the board So keep an extra brew on deck so we can pour one on the floor Pour one on the floor For those we lost in the war Cause today's obituaries gone up from the week before Cause the summer is slaughter time And it's just a thought of mine That the city's division has just gone and brought up the crime Bring it up downtown, gentrifiers get livid Must be nice to call us liars when you're living in privilege And then ignore somebody's problems just because you're not facin 'em Then have the nerve to cut me off when we talk about racism But here I am again at a bar on Newark Avenue Buying drinks with the crew from the people who wanna laugh at you The jokes on me, cause these people will never see The life we're forced to lead when born into poverty Cause the summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time And that's just a thought of mine Wooh I said the summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time The summer is slaughter time And that's just a thought of mine Wooh The summer is slaughtertime, the summer is slaughtertime The summer is slaughtertime, blah blah blah So what are you gonna do Get angry at every new person and business that enters your city Until you boycott yourself into nothingness Ohhh! Your home is gone and at this point you're just digging your own grave with it A noble act... if anybody gave a f*ck So catch up and stop driving everybody away before you end up all by yourself Or is that what you want
