NYC by RIVER HOOKS

NYC LYRICS

"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 its 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 roof 
Almost died from the view

NYC was not my home
But it was where I was supposed 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

NYC
NYC
NYC
NYC
NYC

These streets make or break you
Their 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 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 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"
