"Steel City" lyrics
Steel city ain't it gritty like it down and dirty rippin down one way streets
Everybody workin hard by the smoke stacks and the mass factories
Late shift when then light dips, big ships land in the north end
Studebaker plant revamp, off to Beasley Park gonna breakdance
Yo bar fights and the cold nights and the crowds hype and it don't stop
Titties in the Picadilly close call, Queen street heard a gunshot
Under rated in a state of mind, respect gets you past fine lines
Where the train tracks and the bright lights meet heavy metal goin state side
Late for work, pockets hurt, broke and uneasy
Love and hate feelin the stress for no reason
When the steel city's callin but the tanks runnin low
Midnight express then I'm back on the road again
Late for work, pockets hurt, broke and uneasy
Love and hate feelin the stress for no reason
When the steel city's callin but the tanks runnin low
Midnight express then I'm back on the road again
Quick, headed up the Kenilworth cut ten minutes to the corner store when
Speed trap and the lights flash cause he got me goin one ten
I was like fuck should've paid attention not to mention unpaid parking tickets damn
Just waitin for the next pay check set a court date make a stand and, train like a mad man, work like a dog, heart of a lion then
Go to the last breath, cheat death, rest, do it all again
Head to the gym make a lot of gains work through the pain
Aim for the rings, runnin down side streets where the sweat stains and the pot holes never end
Beer brewin trouble lurkin in the shadows, walls of graffiti everywhere
Cherries flash make a dash think fast, clear, and I'll never show an ounce of fear
And I'm always low on cash, buy some shit I really can't afford
Cool but it won't last, more money for the old ford restored
Drive late at night like a maniac, hit the highway, head south am I really comin back, now
You can't forget where you come from no lyin
Yo Steel city ain't it gritty like it down and dirty where you fuckin find me
Everybody workin hard by the smoke stacks and the mass factories
Late shift when then light dips, big ships land in the north end
Studebaker plant revamp, off to Beasley Park gonna breakdance
Yo bar fights and the cold nights and the crowds hype and it don't stop
Titties in the Picadilly close call, Queen street heard a gunshot
Under rated in a state of mind, respect gets you past fine lines
Where the train tracks and the bright lights meet heavy metal goin state side
Late for work, pockets hurt, broke and uneasy
Love and hate feelin the stress for no reason
When the steel city's callin but the tanks runnin low
Midnight express then I'm back on the road again
Late for work, pockets hurt, broke and uneasy
Love and hate feelin the stress for no reason
When the steel city's callin but the tanks runnin low
Midnight express then I'm back on the road again
Quick, headed up the Kenilworth cut ten minutes to the corner store when
Speed trap and the lights flash cause he got me goin one ten
I was like fuck should've paid attention not to mention unpaid parking tickets damn
Just waitin for the next pay check set a court date make a stand and, train like a mad man, work like a dog, heart of a lion then
