New York - Naturally 7
Written by:Roger Thomas
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 is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
It is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
I got this love for New York New York
I don't think modern 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's much 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 is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
It is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
I got this love for New York New York
But I don't think modern 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 st
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 camouflauge
Or blend with the Philistines
And swing a sling on the boulavard
Nikes converse Pumas Addidas
Everybody's moving fast
But they ain't running to Jesus
They want blood watch the spillage
They 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 is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
It is so crazy crazy it is so crazy sometimes
I got this love for New York New York
I think it's modern she knows
I said goodbye to New York New york
But my heart won't let her go
I got this love for New York New York
I think it's modern she knows
I said goodbye to New York New york
But my heart won't let her go
