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
