	You can't live in the city without a rock in your hand. You can't live in the city without a rock in your hand. Joy was born in the city, with a rock in her hand. All the lies she'll be told won't diminish her stand. Joy measures the weight of the rock in her hand. She lives with the weight of the rock in her hand. This Baltimore gray devours the sun. This Baltimore night will beat back the day.

Night of the Night Sticks

You can't live in the city
without a rock in your hand.
You can't live in the city
without a rock in your hand.
Joy was born in the city,
with a rock in her hand.
All the lies she'll be told
won't diminish her stand.

Joy measures the weight
of the rock in her hand.
She lives with the weight
of the rock in her hand.
This Baltimore gray
devours the sun.
This Baltimore night
will beat back the day.
