[Verse 1]
Okay, let’s get it out
Enough with the small talk
I can count your lies
Like cracks on the sidewalk
Same old stories of
When we used to hang out
Down with the crowd
We had the whole gang out
[Chorus]
Nothin’ to do
With the boys in the crew
We knew we had to start
Something with you
So we took you down
To the ground with a round
Pound for pound
Another win for the hometown
[Verse 2]
Dissed like this
Mind over fist
And fist over your face
I’ll chase you down
Like the cheese in a rat race
Soon, you’ll regret
You ever deceived me
Crush your body like bugs on a TV
[Chorus]
Rhythm of the streets
Stained with your bloodshed
The hammer of the gods
Hangs over my head
Shoot you down
To the ground with a round
Pound for pound
Let’s hear it for the hometown
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
My God… pray for the city
A moment of silence
Let’s overcome the guns
And the violence
If we give the youth
The keys to the mainstream
They won’t have to waste
Their life in a daydream
[Chorus]
“Why?” is the question
Drugs are the answer
Kills in a serial
Spreads like a cancer
Shoot you down
To the ground with a round
Pound for pound
Yes, grim is the hometown
[Refrain]
Yes, grim is the hometown
Yes, grim is the hometown
Yes, grim is the hometown
Yes, grim is the hometown
Yes, grim is the hometown
[Outro]
Yes, grim is the hometown!
Yes, grim is the hometown!
