#Macklemore city dont sleep how to#Who now stands downtown walkin' on the block pacin' cause the only way she knows how to make it, is gettin' naked. We don't know what turned 'em to the bottle, or started injectin', We just see dirty clothes and another bum beggin', Whatta bout the kid who was an addict the second that his mom was pregnant, Or the young girl who was raped and stripped up, everything sacred. Now how can we judge the book when we don't know the beginning. Now every face tells a different story, a different message. Nowhere to call your own, Out here in the cold, Wishin' you had a home, Feelin' you're all alone. We got families on the street with no where to go, and the concrete's the only place they have to call home. To eat and sleep, but we cease to see that our own country is based around war, power and greed. The money the government wastes could provide them with a safe place. We've come to accept the homeless as part of our landscape. Mr president but I'm a resident and since you've been in office I haven't seen any evidence of things changin' We go into our Iraq and attack When got people on the streets without a roof over their backs. I walk past a man laying in his own vomit, who gets his food and his garments by digging in the garbage. I'm not saying everyone is a victim, but the people that I live would treat em more like villains then actual citizens. Now everyday that I walk outta my building, I see homeless people sleeping and chillin' on the steps to the apartment that I live in.
