(VERSE 1) See my face you know where I've been Walking in jungle Cruising down boulevard part of the race Taking a tumble (BRIDGE 1) Loving a stranger Is fearing from danger Is crying in some avenue And soon the hate will be there... (VERSE 2) Assassin with gun is taking his aim To target his rival And tossing the street is a dangerous game The stakes are survival (BRIDGE 2) Love in that stranger Still fearing that danger Still crying in some avenue And soon the hate will be there too (CHORUS 1) Life in the Big Apple moves very fast And so must you Do like the others do And don't you drag your heels Life in the Big Apple moves very fast... (VERSE 3) Cops on route are hot in pursuit As windows are shattered Café and arcade are teeming with loot The sidewalks are scattered (BRIDGE 3) Walking down highways Just seeing things my way While dealer man enjoys his wealth You spare the rope, he'll hang himself (CHORUS 2) Life in the Big Apple moves very fast And so must you Do like the others do And don't you drag your heels Life in the Big Apple moves very fast And so must you Do like the others do And don't you drag your... Drag your... (FINAL CHORUS) Life in the Big Apple moves very fast And so must you Do like the others do And don't you drag your heels Repeat FINAL CHORUS to fade.
