|
New york - just like i pictured it - skyscrapers and everything |
|
Inna city love, you crushed me into a pulp - i trusted you |
|
When i loved you from a distance |
|
And your skyline made me a promise |
|
In my safe world to be somebody |
|
In your city to own your streets |
|
Where i'd strut covered in money |
|
Shattered dreams. it ain't funny |
|
Now i look at you with tears in my eyes |
|
The good the bad the ugly |
|
As i start to cry i search for the sky |
|
Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, they're coming. |
|
Chorus: |
|
Inna city mamma |
|
You bore another child to be victim of |
|
Your cold blooded ways |
|
Inna city love |
|
From the gutter |
|
So destructive when you sing your blues |
|
I want to love you baby |
|
I don't mean maybe baby, but i need everything you got |
|
You can't break your promise |
|
I'm inna city hunger, you think you're tough i'm stronger |
|
If you're weak i'll eat you up |
|
I'm gonna touch you where you've never been touched before |
|
And by your spine i'll bruise your veins and touch your very core |
|
Let my concrete be your red carpet |
|
My shooting galleries your personal starship |
|
Give me all your dreams, this city loves you |
|
Use my roots to deliver your body |
|
Under my skies where you make your money |
|
You rejected love, but this city loves you |
|
Chorus: |
|
Inna city love, inna city mamma, inna city love |
|
You hurt me - real bad - inna city love |
|
You meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little pieces |
|
But i wanna love you |
|
I trusted you and you crushed me into a pulp |
|
Inna city mamma |
