Jazmine Sullivan - Baltimore [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't nothin' here for free
Hooker on the corner, waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain
And the people hide their faces as they hide their eyes
Cause the city's dyin' and they don't know why

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

[Verse 2]
Get my sister Sandy and my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon to haul us all away
Live out in the country where the mountain's high
I'm never gonna come back here 'till the day I die

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

[Outro]
But best believe
We're gonna make it somehow
Hard living in the city
