You're at the bottom of the ocean You're a rainy day in Queens You're the basement of a penthouse Looking up at all your dreams You're an elevator going down And coming up with ease We won't stop till all the power On the block is out and Everybody's screaming I can't breathe, I can't see Please don't leave me, say you need me Cuz I need you and me, baby please You hear the sirens in the distance You can almost see the light There's a dark side to this prison It's the sharp side to the knife There's a message to this rythm Like a stranger in your dreams It's intoxicating innocence In a sense has everybody screaming Most of the time There's a reason or rhyme That you can't get around When you run and hide Most of the time There's a reason You can't stay No, you can't take no more
