STREET LEVEL

STREET LEVEL DEFINES THE SET
SCREECHING TIRES TO THE TEST
NO POINT IN AIMING FOR THE TOP
WHEN THE MIDDLE MAN CALLS ALL THE SHOTS
THE RACE IS ON
BUT HE SPINS OUT OF CONTROL

HE REACHES FOR A CIGARET
A SHADOW FLICKERS FOR A SEC
HE BLOWS THE DAMAGE TO HIS PRIDE
TAKES A HARD LOOK PAST THE LINE
THE DAY WILL COME
WHEN HE WILL GET ACROSS

THERE WAS A TIME
OF REAL POSSIBILITIES
THEN THE GATES CAME DOWN
ON ORDERS FROM STRATEGISTS

LIFE UNWINDS LIKE A TV SHOW
LAYS THE HITS HARD AND LOW
STREET LEVEL IS ON THE MOVE
THE HIGH TOWER HAS LOST THE GROOVE
THE TIME IS NOW
THE BATTLE’S AT THE DOORS

ONCE UPON A TIME
LAY REAL POSSIBILITIES
AS THE SYSTEM CAME DOWN
DE-STRUCTURED FROM WITHIN

HISTORY LOVES TO REPEAT
FORGETFULNESS WEAKENS THE LEAD
THE BATTLE PLAYS LIKE A STREET SHOW
LOSER LOOSES YET ONCE MORE
THE RAGE IS ON
ON ITS PREDICTED COURSE

THERE WAS A TIME
OF REAL POSSIBILITIES
THEN THE GATES CAME DOWN
ON ORDERS FROM STRATEGISTS
