Naturally 7 - New York

Текст песни

Close to the edge, I’m like a bomb ticking slowly
Just don’t push me if you know what’s good for you
I’m not that holy
I’m an island, I’m a rock
On an island made of rock
Concrete flowers, falling towers
To tell the time, who needs a watch?
Ain’t that just like New York?
Ain’t that just like TV?
There’s nothin' like New York
Don’t you believe what you see
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
I got this love for New York, New York
I think it’s more than she knows
I said goodbye to New York, New York
But my heart won’t let her go
I’ve seen a few things, I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain
What I haven’t seen is sunshine
Through my window, shades of grey
Baby’s crying, Mommy’s trying, her very best to make ends meet
Daddy’s spot is on the corner, made at least 3 G’s last week
Ain’t that just like New York?
Ain’t that just like TV?
There’s nothin' like New York
Don’t you believe what you see
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
I got this love for New York, New York
I think it’s more than she knows
I said goodbye to New York, New York
But my heart won’t let her go
Still waters run deep on the corners of Wall Street
Too many cooks in the kitchen, no shepherds for the sheep
Only lawyers and doctors, like gangsters and mobsters
The ground ain’t safe anymore, we need police helicopters
It’s like a jungle sometimes, I gotta suit up in camouflage
Or blend with the Philistines, and swing a sling on the boulevard
Nikes, Converse, Pumas, Adidas
Everybody’s moving fast, but they ain’t running to Jesus
They want blood, watch the spillage
Wanna conquer and pillage
Pillars of Salt, don’t look back in the village
Ain’t that just like New York?
Ain’t that just like TV?
There’s nothin' like New York
Don’t you believe what you see
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
I got this love for New York, New York
I think it’s more than she knows
I said goodbye to New York, New York
But my heart won’t let her go
