Gotham

Welcome to the city of Gotham

The folks are something that you can't stop em

This is what we have in common

But still, there is no autumn. In the city of Gotham, I reside And I say that with pride

Till the catastrophes subside

This is where I hide

In the land of criminals mixed with the only land with life

And I got no problems but I got to fight demons

With the rhymes that are wack so to kill heathens

But the belief's so strong, it can destroy evils

And the need for conflict could speed up daemons

And I can't live up to the time which is up

I can't act tough, I can't act rough But Gotham won't allow me to man that up

They say we do it for culture

If you aren't like them, you are a vulture

Forced to pray to sculptures to sanctify their blunders

I am a good guy but they ain't their own helpers

Then why do I feel proud of Gotham?

It was my sanctum but it hit rock bottom

Bartering power in exchange for souls

Living off eternity like immortal ghouls

They tend to accomplish minor goals

And then they just destroy us all

This is the fall

Respond to the call of right or stall

For which it might be the wrong haul

You are considered small

In front of all these people who are tall

They want to be famous, they want to have power

But all they do is shame us with there cower

Demoralizing minors, no empower

Trying in vain to overpower,

And we do it

Every time we see a number, Every time we see the gain

Every time we see the fire, Every time we see the vain

Every time we see the work, Every time we see the pain

Every time we see a person, Every time we see a name

But that's not all, hardly enough

There's much more to Gotham than Jokers in the scruff

And I can't cover it all in one prose

But then, what's left now? Nobody knows.
