Baltimore

Lashea-Maria Cager

Here leads to nowhere
Here is forsaken

Baltimore City...
One never ending chain of psycho hysterics
It goes gangs, then murder, drugs, poverty and then it repeats
Death is always knocking at your door

And here is the struggle of minority America
Poverty and government welfare

Baltimore...
The city of lost hope, broken dreams, and crack fiends
Baltimore...
This ain't my scene
