Lonesome Dog - Kings of the City

Like a lonesome dog

Howling at everything

Who has deserted him

Don’t let sorrow in your heart

And in the dust that made us

Into the dust I will go back

Brother, don’t let sorrow in your heart

Little man, sit in pity

Another tale for the inner city

Surrounded by a deep plague of ignorance

Little man remember when you were just a boy

Kicking ball in the school

If you’d fall it was cool

Now it’s cool if you ball

If you fall, you get schooled

Grabbing tools for a stabbing duel

The lifestyle a local respect

Now your life is in debt, what the heck

Your heart was warm

Now the anger in your blood leaves you torn

Between the sun and storm

Who you really gunning for?

The snake stays slither while you’re burning draw

One two for a score

Yeah survival is a chore

Perception is relative

Just open up the door

Little man

Little man you make me shed a tear

Cause hell I know for you the heavens near

Like a lonesome dog

Howling at everything

Who has deserted him

Don’t let sorrow in your heart

And in the dust that made us

Into the dust I will go back

Brother, don’t let sorrow in your heart

Little man

Fuck is up?

What you saying

Nothin' bruh

Look I know times are hard, life is fucking tough

But you ain’t by yourself you need some help

You know that love is love

Friends are friends foes are foes but the line gets blurry

You see who’s quick to air all your laundry out when its dirty

He said he heard me, appreciates me reaching out

I told I ain’t done there’s some other shit we should speak about

I said I’ve known you from to

But we don’t even talk no more

He stopped me and told me that maybe due to our roots we’ve grown apart

And life is not a joke no more

I said little man, little man

Wait, I don’t mean to belittle man

And try to put you down

Just to make me feel like a bigger man

He said it’s cool

When i show you less, I know you get

Misunderstood by the ones who claim they know you best

Like a lonesome dog

Howling at everything

Who has deserted him

Don’t let sorrow in your heart

And in the dust that made us

Into the dust I will go back

Brother, don’t let sorrow in your heart
