0:00Mary - Soulive
0:23Up above my head
0:26I hear the wind whippin'
0:29Here come them ghetto birds again
0:35On every street lamp
0:37Cameras see you from a distance
0:40So the light hit the note to live
0:45And now we survive
0:47But it's still nickle and dime
0:50Quite underneath those lights
0:53Tight rope walking their life
0:56You see the cameras don't work
0:59When we in danger and hurt
1:02Not a siren can be heard
1:04Look for dead in the dirt
1:09Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
1:20Everywhere you looking
1:23Another soul misguided
1:26Thinking his pistol make him a man
1:32Minimum wage ain't workin'
1:34He want that fast money
1:38Spend it as soon as it touch his hand
1:42Why can't he see
1:44You don't gotta try to be
1:47Pushin' the LCD
1:50Mother rear viewin' me
1:53And I'll tell you what's worse
1:56Why are there so many of us
1:59Ghetto livin' like a curse
2:01Can't even find truth in the church
2:06Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
2:17Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
2:51And now we survive
2:53But it's still nickle and dime
2:56Quite underneath those lights
2:59Tight rope walking their life
3:02You see the cameras don't work
3:04When we in danger and hurt
3:07Not a siren can be heard
3:10Look for dead in the dirt
3:14Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
3:26Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
3:37Oh mother Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
3:45Don't you be ashamed to cry
3:49Mary don't you be ashamed to cry
