Although we are going through bad times  like the depression
  And we sink into pot holes in the street which are oh so deep
  We are feeling this way to show expressions
  I love my city even though when in a uprise
                                Baltimore runs through my blood
  This city gives me strength even though we are getting some much hate
  The riots are sweeping through the streets like a flood
  Now everybody will remember Maryland as a state
  I stand in these streets looking at all the souls that are dead
  Miles of destruction and fire blazing
  Hopefully there are brighter days ahead
  I now see the devotion of my city
  We stand here hand in hand
  We will stand together even while sinking in the sand
