If you've ever been or lived in the city, then you'll know what I'm going to talk about. You need a big swell to make it through the day. Selfish in the street, well, but nobody cares.

Like a little girl, girl, girl, wishing she was dead. You ain't never seen the summer in the city. Well, well, well, well. You ain't never seen the summer. You ain't seen the summer in the city. Well, well, well, well. Taxes are running, trying to make a fair, yeah. Stealing and stealing, well, well, well. In the city, oh, well. This little boy fell, fell down. He started to cry, Lord. He swallowed just to sit around, round, round. Selling lies. The sun is so hot, well, it's burning up the street. The streets are so bad, so, so bad. They had to chop us to the beat.
