Jazmine Sullivan - Baltimore Lyrics

Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free
Hooker on the corner
(corner) waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the rain
And the people hide their faces
(faces) as they hide their
Eyes (hide their eyes)
Cause the city's dyin' and
They don't know why
Cause they don't know why

Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Get my sister Sandy and my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon to haul us all away
I Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
I'm never gonna come back here
'till the day I die

Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live just to live
No it's hard to live in the city, hey Oh
We're gonna make it somehow, hey

Just believe
We're gonna make it somehow, Uuhhh
Hard living in the city, City Uuhhh, oohhh
