The Archives ft Ras Puma: Crime Unplugged - Dupont Underground
Live audio recording of ESL Music Artists The Archives ft Ras Puma performing the song Crime Unplugged - Dupont Underground: Built after World War II, the Dupont Underground was a streetcar station that was eventually designated as a bomb shelter. In 1995, it re-opened as Dupont Down Under, a 12-tenant project that largely consisted of a food court with establishments like Sbarro Pizza. Problems ranging from unfinished construction to broken air conditioners plagued the project, and unbeknownst to the city, Geary Stephen Simon, the head of the effort, had been convicted at least three times of various business crimes. In September 1996, the city evicted Stephen Simon and Dupont Down Under was officially deemed a failure. It has been vacant since that time. Special thanks to Jennifer Vinson (DC Setlist). Enjoy!

Crime
Lyrics by Mateo Monk
Toss a Seed upon my Yard, To embrace the Earth & love the Sun
Police at my door knocking hard, Flashing badges waving gun
And they tell me its a crime, to let the earth give birth to a simple seed
its a crime, to let the seed take root and not impede
its a crime, and for this they want my liberty
its a crime, just to live and to let be
OH My Lord how far we've strayed, lost all touch with nature's way
Them might as well indite the Sun, for shining light on everyone
And they tell me its a crime, to let the earth give birth to a simple seed
its a crime, to let the seed take root and not impede
its a crime, and for this they want my liberty
its a crime, just to live and to let be
