Streets of New York (City Life) (Unplugged)

Here I am, here we are

As it will go on forever

Noise, always noise

Candles burn, lights are low

I haven't a place to go



Life in it's constant state of moving nowhere

The music is nice, floats through the air

Sounds of waves crashing everywhere

Percussive submissions, mind conditions

Writing with the left hand

Unknowing and taking the chance



Why not fly? Why not try?

This constant game I play to stay high

But all is just a state of mind

All is reality of your choice

Constant evolution, constant adaptation

Constant state of moving nowhere



Footsteps, silence is loud

Kindness is brave, wisdom is long

Loving is necessary, I need it, we need it

Searching, looking for the satisfaction

It is nowhere, it is everywhere



Preaching, pleading, praying for God to come

What are we waiting for?

Why are we so afraid of taking charge?

But it's always changing, always

In the constant state of going nowhere



We all have demons to battle, roads to walk

Crosses to bear, mistakes and sins

Candles and their steady glow

Water and its constant crash



Endless horizon, rocks of times long gone

Still strong, still here and so are we

Here we are forever

The constant state of going nowhere



The constant state of going nowhere

Constant state of going nowhere

Con-con-constant state of moving nowhere

Constant state of moving nowhere



It's like a jungle

It's like a jungle



It's like a jungle out here, so much struggle out here

And my dreams steal my rest, sleep's the cousin of death

Always feels like a race against father time

In the streets of New York



All I see is street hoes, and bullet holes in my people

Only crime fills the brain, feels like I'm going insane

The revolution has to start, don't waste no time

In the streets of New York



New York, New York, New York, New York, New York City

New York, New York, New York, New York, New York City

New York, New York, New York, New York, New York City

New York, New York, New York, New York, New York City



Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

New York, New York City

Livin' in the city



Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

New York, New York City

Livin' in the city



Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

New York, New York City

Livin' in the city
