Three dice cee-lo, three card molly Labor Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade Long live the King yo, I'm from the Empire St. that's [Chorus] Lights is blinding, girls need blinders So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is Lined with casualties, who sip to life casually Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple Eve Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out City of sin, it's a pity on the wind Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out Everybody ride her, just like a bus route Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end Came here for school, graduated to the high life Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight M-D-M-A got you feelin' like a champion The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien, in [Chorus] One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty No place in the world that could compare Put yahhh lightas in da air Everybody say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" [Chorus] --- |
