Discover the story of the song > Baltimore – Jazmine Sullivan

The lyrics describe a tough life in Baltimore, where the protagonist is surrounded by poverty and struggle. They see a seagull trying to find its way to the ocean, but just like the seagull, there seems to be no way out for the protagonist. They mention a hooker on the corner and people hiding their faces, emphasizing the despair and decline of the city. The protagonist dreams of leaving Baltimore with their siblings and never coming back. Despite the hardships, they hold onto hope and believe that they will make it out somehow.
