Streets Of New York - Alicia Keys
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
In the in the city
In the in the city
New York New York
New York City New York
In the in the city
In the in the city
In the in the city
New York New York City
In the in the city
In the in the city
In the in the city
New York New York City
In the in the city
In the in the city
