Why Ghettos Crys tonight lyrics by James Cook

Verse
Cold streets sing hymns under the lamppost glow
Dreams on the curb where the cracked roads show
Horns blare like warnings, the night plays its role
Drums hit like punches, the rhythm takes control

Chorus
Why ghettos cry tonight, under moonlit skies
Tears mix with the rain, hear the city’s sighs
The sound of the struggle, in every soul it lies
We rise from the ashes, but the pain never dies

Verse 2
Pavement speaks volumes, every step a tale
Bodega lights flicker, dreams hang by a nail
Philly streets hum with a jazzed-out wail
Life’s a tightrope, every balance could fail

Bridge
The horns scream sorrow, drums echo the fight
Broken glass glimmers in the dim streetlight
We pray for the morrow, but we live in the night
The city’s our chapel, our voices take flight

Chorus
Why ghettos cry tonight, under moonlit skies
Tears mix with the rain, hear the city’s sighs
The sound of the struggle, in every soul it lies
We rise from the ashes, but the pain never dies

Verse 3
