New York New York, big city of dreams | |
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems | |
You might get fooled if you come from out of town | |
But I'm down by law and I know my way around | |
Too much, too many people, too much (aha-ha) | |
Too much, too many people, too much, Raaah! | |
A castle in the sky, one mile high | |
Built to shelter the rich and greedy | |
Rows of eyes, disguised as windows | |
Looking down on the poor and the needy | |
Miles of people, marching up the avenue | |
Doin' what they gotta do, just to get by | |
I'm living in the land of plenty and many | |
But I'm damn sure poor and I don't know why | |
Too much, too many people, too much | |
Too much, too many people, too much! | |
A man's on a ledge, says he's gonna jump | |
People gather round, said, "He won't he's just a chump" | |
'Cause he lost his job, then he got robbed | |
His mortgage is due and his marriage is through | |
He says he ain't gonna pay no child support | |
Because the bitch left him without a second thought | |
He got nothing to eat, no shoes on his feet | |
She even left his clothes out in the street | |
He keeps hearing noises when he's at home | |
He always hears voices when he's all alone | |
His wife took the kids, the car and the crib | |
In this man's world, so much for Women's Lib | |
New York New York big city of dreams | |
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems | |
You might get fooled if you come from out of town | |
But I'm down by law, and I know my way around | |
Down in the Village, you might think I'm silly | |
But you can't tell the women from the men sometimes | |
They're sugar and spice and everything nice | |
But when you get âem home ain't no telling what you find | |
Right next door is a little old man | |
I seen him eating dog food out of a can | |
He says, "I got to eat, when I can't afford meat | |
I barely can stand, on my own two feet | |
I got a bad habit and I just can't break it | |
Something's on my mind and I just can't shake it | |
I need some time, and I want some space | |
I gotta get away from the human raceâ | |
Too much, too many people, too much (aha-ha) | |
Too much, too many people, too much! Raaah! | |
Staring at a skyscraper reaching into heaven | |
When over in the ghetto I'm livin in hell | |
Just play ball or be an entertainer | |
'Cause niggaz like me can't read too well | |
Nobody loves me, nobody cares | |
I dreamed about a life but I'm livin in a nightmare | |
Paranoid schizo, set back, snowbound | |
Bad news psycho, heart attack, breakdown! | |
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh | |
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh | |
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh | |
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, HUH! | |
If only I could sleep just ten more minutes | |
I might find the strength to make another day | |
If I didn't have to get up and do my thing | |
I would probably sleep my whole life away | |
I messed up a nice dream, somethin' bout ice cream | |
Whipped cream, fruits and a cherry on top | |
Now I gotta get up and face the world, huh | |
The pressure is on, It ain't never gonna stop | |
I sho' gotta learn to use my mind | |
I don't wanna be kissing nobody's behind | |
Just standin' on line lookin' like a jerk | |
Gotta get off my butt and do a full day's work | |
I ran into a pothole, got into a car crash | |
Should'a been thinking and tried to fake whiplash | |
A crowd gathered round, they're callin' me fat | |
Who you lookin at with a face like that? | |
New York New York big city of dreams | |
Everything in New York ain't always what it seems | |
You might get fooled if you come from out of town | |
But I'm down by law and I know my way around | |
On 42nd Street, lookin for some action | |
Women standing on the corner selling satisfaction | |
One young punk just leaning on the fence | |
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents | |
Really is a prankster, tried to be a gangster | |
Real big wheel when a gun is in his hands | |
Just did a stick-up, just got picked up | |
One dead punk, killed by the man | |
New York New York big city of dreams | |
And everything in New York ain't always what it seem | |
You might get fooled if you come from out of town | |
But I'm down by law and I know my way around | |
Too much, too many people, too much (haha ha ha) | |
Too much, too many people, too much! Huh! | |
A baby cries and a mother dies | |
And the tears fall from the doctor's eyes | |
Because in this room, on this day | |
The Good Lord has giveth, and taketh away, huh! | |
The gift of life really means a lot | |
And in the ghetto your life is all you got | |
So you take to the streets, trying to exist | |
In the trash and slime of a world like this | |
What you watch on TV tells you what life is supposed to be | |
But when you look outside the only thing you see | |
Is the poverty stricken reality, Heh! | |
Abandoned places, angry faces | |
Much hate and hunger throughout the races | |
You say, "I'm grown and I'm on my own | |
So why don't everybody just leave me alone!" | |
Now you stay at home, talking on the phone | |
Doin ninety miles an hour in the fifty mile zone | |
They never took the time to tell you âbout sex | |
So you had to learn about it in the discotheques | |
Nine months later, the baby is there | |
And the Nigga that did it said, "I don't care!" | |
You don't have enough money to help feed two | |
So you have to choose between the baby and you | |
The sky was crying, rain and hail | |
When you put your baby in the garbage pail | |
Then you kissed the kid and put down the lid | |
And you tried to forget what you just did, Huh! | |
The muffled screams of a dying baby | |
Was enough to drive the young mother crazy | |
So she ran in the rain trying to ease the pain | |
Huh huh, And she drove herself insane | |
New York New York big city of dreams | |
But everything in New York ain't always what it seem | |
You might get fooled if you come from out of town | |
But I'm down by law and I know my way around | |
