I walk my city smilin' but frownin' at the crime in Every single block poor families grindin' Flowers and candles on the floor kids dyin' Peace to the life of Trayvon Martin And all kids like him around my block I think about yall and I continue to walk How it could've been me though I got a degree But these cops pullin' triggers like bullets are free And yo I understand the mentality You either leave Stockton or stay six feet deep But yall the moon the sun and stars Let me tell you one time the city is ours Let me tell you two times the city is ours And in case you aint hear, the city is ours I could go on for bars and bars But you need to remember the city is ours Whose city is this? The city is ours, the city is ours, the city is ours Whose city is this? The city is ours, the city is ours, the city is ours Not political puppets or White supremacist Corporate capitalist all tryna kill us But you and me the community We needa rise up and set our people free Go get a degree or get organized Tell the one percent that you're sick of their lies The work aint about just tryna get by But getting these bullets out of the sky Its so easy to leave, say peace and bye But that brain drain really aint gonna fly Thats just a bandaid fix to a systemic problem Yall needa get back if you're tryna solve them I take a left and I continue to walk My name is Aldrich Sabac and I am from the Stock A city of hope a city of dreams And in my city I always believe.
