Tried to blame it on the city that I love

I point the finger at the people up above

But, oh, babe, you'll be okay

When you get lost in your head some days

When life ain't goin' your way

Keep it up, it up, it up

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

My baby's got the big, big shoes

Tryna fill 'em, but she just might lose

Who cares if you jump through hoops

Just get up, get up, get up

There's Jimmy tryna make his way

Countin' pennies 'cause the work don't pay

Everybody's gotta take their way

So come on, come on, come on, come on, ooh

I tried to blame it on the city that I love

I point the finger at the people up above

But, oh, babe, you'll be okay

When you get lost in your head some days

When life ain't goin' your way

Keep it up, it up, it up

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

If it's love, if it's love, if it's love that you need

Give it all that you got when you're down on your knees

If it's love, if it's love, if it's love that you need

Give it all that you got when you're down on your knees

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
