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
