New York - Naturally 7

Close to the edge, I’m like a bomb ticking slowly

Just don’t push me if you know what’s good for you

I’m not that holy

I’m an island, I’m a rock

On an island made of rock

Concrete flowers, falling towers

To tell the time, who needs a watch?

Ain’t that just like New York?

Ain’t that just like TV?

There’s nothin' like New York

Don’t you believe what you see

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

I got this love for New York, New York

I think it’s more than she knows

I said goodbye to New York, New York

But my heart won’t let her go

I’ve seen a few things, I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain

What I haven’t seen is sunshine

Through my window, shades of grey

Baby’s crying, Mommy’s trying, her very best to make ends meet

Daddy’s spot is on the corner, made at least 3 G’s last week

Ain’t that just like New York?

Ain’t that just like TV?

There’s nothin' like New York

Don’t you believe what you see

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

I got this love for New York, New York

I think it’s more than she knows

I said goodbye to New York, New York

But my heart won’t let her go

Still waters run deep on the corners of Wall Street

Too many cooks in the kitchen, no shepherds for the sheep

Only lawyers and doctors, like gangsters and mobsters

The ground ain’t safe anymore, we need police helicopters

It’s like a jungle sometimes, I gotta suit up in camouflage

Or blend with the Philistines, and swing a sling on the boulevard

Nikes, Converse, Pumas, Adidas

Everybody’s moving fast, but they ain’t running to Jesus

They want blood, watch the spillage

Wanna conquer and pillage

Pillars of Salt, don’t look back in the village

Ain’t that just like New York?

Ain’t that just like TV?

There’s nothin' like New York

Don’t you believe what you see

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)

It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)

I got this love for New York, New York

I think it’s more than she knows

I said goodbye to New York, New York

But my heart won’t let her go
