lyrics
Some people say
Remember your roots
Never forget
They're the making of you
Well this place hasn't made me
It's only tried to break me, it's true
Some people say
You gotta live and let live
Give what you get
Forget and forgive
Now you circle round me
Hoping for a piece of me
Yes, I see the vultures
Make a carcass outta me
Yes, I see the vultures
As they stain the city streets
Yes I see the vultures
Oh they'd love to see me bleed
Yes, I see the vultures
As they stain the city streets
Remember your roots
Never forget
They're the making of you
Well this place hasn't made me
It's only tried to break me, it's true
Some people say
You gotta live and let live
Give what you get
Forget and forgive
Now you circle round me
Hoping for a piece of me
Yes, I see the vultures
Make a carcass outta me
Yes, I see the vultures
As they stain the city streets
Yes I see the vultures
Oh they'd love to see me bleed
Yes, I see the vultures
As they stain the city streets
