There's no place like you Even if I try to,
I can't escape
I wonder if you like us too Overpopulating,
our bed is frustrating
We're building towers up to Mars
Fumes are everywhere, it's not the cleanest air
I contemplate, why you, why you?
Then I get drunk on the roof,
almost out from the view
NYC was not my home But it was where I'm supposed to be
From the start,
I can't believe I dropped my life at 17
I said,
* 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
The streets make or break you They're not the
kind to stand everywhere you're in confinement
Empty wallets on the islands 3 a.m.
whenever, silent
You'll be lucky if we're smiling
But once I got lost in you
In the moment I knew What would I be without you?
I've got more stories to tell You brought me out of my shell
And I've been doing well
NYC was not my home But it was where I'm supposed to be
From the start,
I can't believe I dropped my life at 17
I said, * 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 could live in NYC
Best believe I can't do anything If I die in NYC
I'd be a legend, guaranteed
If I could live in NYC
Best believe I can't do anything If I die in NYC
I'd be a legend, guaranteed
