Red Line
Downtown, downtown
When I'm looking up at you I find that I still frown
While your daughter rolls up with that really nice gown
Yet for some reason I'm still getting caught up in this damn town
While the rich and beautiful making money in they cubical
Making their meetings seem as hard as a crucible, getting dressed in a suit
Live's still unsuitable
I'm working way harder outside while the weather is getting even hotter
Yet for some reason while in your suite
Looking down chewing onto something that is really sweet
I'm looking up with anger at a stranger I don't even know
While you're on your annual vacation for your summer dive
Remember every night your brother's out doing a dumpster dive
You flew to Italy, and simply you don't pity me, but I don't care!
I'll write this vent of mine completely italicized!
This ain't, NY, DC, Chicago or Miami
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!
Panoramic views of the Rockies
While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
This ain't Berlin or London but it's still something
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!
Panoramic views of the Rockies
While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
Got a grand in the bank and zero in my tank
I want to stay afloat but really I just sank
I don't want to medicate, I need to meditate
Forget if I don't get paid, I gotta concentrate
I won't apologize I never meant to be late
As my employer I don't expect that you to ever relate
It's just that I'm always tired and rest is always desired
So I constantly contemplate
If a smaller check is worth getting the rest that I really need
Shoot for a goal as if I were Messi
But shooting stars in the sky actually messy
Couldn't swim amongst the reed
Didn't smoked too much weed, because it was never a need
It was more of a want because the fear of my parents was a factual haunt
I'd rather follow these stories of from the monks on Corosaunt
While sipping on my matcha, and eating my croissant
This ain't, NY, DC, Chicago or Miami
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!
Panoramic views of the Rockies
While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
This ain't Berlin or London but it's still something
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!
Panoramic views of the Rockies
While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
I'm in a line for some breakfast, all was fine
Then he clenched his fist just because I had a hood
He asserted that my presence, had no good
I can't blame him can't even name him
No relation in this situation
Just another white guy thinking that he was the right guy
Blinded by a skin tones he took a darker tone forgetting
We got the same color in our bones
You're no better cause you wear a suit, but suit yourself
You're not special just because you got a lot wealth
You might be getting high in a suit, falling hard on a lawsuit
Somebody help them, they need a parachute
A gun to the head they are about to shoot
The pillars of this city are weaker than the Pillar that is holding onto me
I've lived in the same house for so many years, yet I feel completely moved
Haven't really renovated but I feel so improved
Because Messiah is my rock, whether I'm on top, or in rock bottom
Because JAH, I got Him
This ain't, NY, DC, Chicago or Miami
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!
Panoramic views of the Rockies
While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
This ain't Berlin or London but it's still something
But I know my own, my home is Calgary!

While whipping down Stony, just hand me the keys!
