lyrics

(Hook - Jonathan Emile)
Good morning
Is that sunshine in the rain?
New dawning
Somehow everything’s the same
Sun keeps rising in the east
Everybody cares the lease about what you’ve done
The city that always sleeps
The city that always sleeps
The city that always sleeps
The city that always sleeps -- on their own
Own

(Verse - Jonathan Emile)
Black Leonard Cohen I’m flowing I’m blowing up
I remember throwing shows and when no one was showing up
And as I step up out the city everybody want to see him
Cause I’m killing them killing them like the policia
Of the axis, Ciao, Sayonara, Auf Weidersehen
You push a couple keys my dude I'm Oscar Peterson
Leaders in the field without bringing the heaters in
Heathen they be breathing the hate and it's only feeding him
Yo, you ate in my genre my sector or my lane thought
You candle, handle your business I'm on my flame throw
Your lame bro homie my dude we're not the same yo
Dude’s two stepping I'm Argentinian tango
Yo, got a wicked flow but you are a minstrel show
MTL is cold brother get your winter coat
Monopoly oligarchy Spectra of Evenko
Westside Barclay Walkley Shevchenko
I do what I want most do what they can
Homie I could snatch your girl like Boko Haram
But I don't give a damn cause this is black-democratic-socialism-feminism in a Babylonian system
I'm just making a killing while I'm making my living
It's a beautiful city ghetto mentality vision and what you want fly
I’m the first of the flock
From that cross on the mountain to the port at the dock
Ain't no reason to jock homie you look lost
Cause a brother one game like Ubisoft and you be soft
Bad news about Bad News
Light a Dutch for Dutch Montreal we can't lose
