There's no place like you Even if I tried to, I can't escape I wonder if you like us too Overpopulating, I bet it's frustrating We're buildings towers up to Mars Fumes are everywhere, it's not the cleanest air I contemplate why you? Why you? Then I got drunk on a roof Almost died from the view NYC was not my home But it was where I was supposed to be from the start I can't believe dropped my life at 17 I said fuck it, it's NYC I left everybody To make myself somebody I gave up everything for NYC I'm just a walking body Amongst a million bodies Just surviving in NYC It's NYC NYC NYC NYC NYC These streets make or break you They're not the kindest and Everywhere you're in confinement Empty wallets, lonely islands 3AM, we're never silent You'll be lucky if we're smiling But once I got lost in you In the moment I knew Who would I be without you? I've got more stories to tell You brought me out of my shell In debt, but doing well NYC was not my home But it was where I was supposed to be from the start I can't believe dropped my life at 17 I said fuck it, it's NYC I left everybody To make myself somebody I gave up everything for NYC I'm just a walking body Amongst a million bodies Just surviving in NYC It's NYC NYC NYC NYC NYC If I can live in NYC Best believe I can do anything If I die in NYC I'll be a legend guaranteed If I can live in NYC Best believe I can do anything If I die in NYC I'll be a legend guaranteed
