Cultural Appropriation ROCKS!
Searching for the One Drop, looking for that Skank
I discovered the wellspring: authentic sounds.
Some ranking rude-boys robbed the bank
with only their instruments (and several rounds).

4 Alarm Karen: Try to Put Her Out !
See a little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin’ to find the ocean, lookin’ everywhere, yeah
Hard times in the city, In a hard town by the sea
Ain’t nowhere to run to / There ain’t nothin’ there for free
Copper on the corner, pleading for a drink, yeah
Drunk lyin’ on the sidewalk, bleeding in the rain
Good people hide their faces / and they hide their eyes
’cause the city is dying / and they don’t know why
Oh, oh Baltimore
Ain’t it hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain’t it hard just to live, just to live
Got my sister, Sandy, and my little brother, Ray, yeah
Buy a big old wagon / To haul us all away
Live out in the country /Where the mountain’s high
I’m never goin’ back there ’til the day I die
Oh, oh Baltimore
Ain’t it hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain’t it hard just to live, just to live
Just to live
Oh.. Baltimore
