Tear drop tattoos and practicing Jews
One has an ankle monitor above his left shoe
Community release trapped in a cell
The subway coming from some suburban dell
All quite a lot for a quarter to seven
Hell or high water, this AC is heaven

Community release trapped in a cell
The subway coming from some suburban dell
All quite a lot for a quarter to seven
Hell or high water, this AC is heaven
The rest of the train is lost in their phones
Emails and Instagram's sepia tones
Suits, jean shorts, and hospital passes
Every class and creed, all pensively passive
All in the same car with no where to go
This is Baltimore City, what The Wire foretold
Banal amongst the corruption and crime
A failure of empire, each stop nearer decline
The crowd ushers out, making room to breath
Next one is yours, preordained, time to leave
