We were so naive
To believe
we would get justice

We were so dumb
To think
That we would get out of this slum

You say my name
We remain
In this horrible place

Watching my city burn
Felt like getting hit by a train
To leave is all I yearn

Feeling the fire blaze
Just continued the pain
My feelings have been slain
