[Hook:] And if the sun don't shine on me today And if the subway's flooded, bridges break Will you just lay down and take a break Or would you rather kiss the tidal wave [Verse 1:] And if the city's skyscrapers rise Over this island Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once Cause I'm on Bushwick time JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway But I'm glad to see Manhattan for once [Pre-Chorus:] And if you leave Don't leave me all alone Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked I'll be cold And you don't want that Because you need what you're never gonna know So take me back Off these streets Or we'll be apart Together from the start Never, never, falling back alone [Chorus:] Living life in the city, oh Won't ever be pretty, oh You can plan if ya make it We know now They won't take it from you, no And if the sun don't shine on me today And if the subway's flooded, bridges break Will you just lay down and take a break Or would you rather kiss the tidal wave [Pre-Chorus:] And if you leave Don't leave me all alone Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked I'll be cold And you don't want that Because you need What you never could've gonna know So take me back Off these streets Or we'll be apart Together from the start Never, never, falling back alone [Chorus:] Living life in the city, oh Won't ever be pretty, oh We can plan if we make it, oh We know now They won't take it from ya, no And if the sun don't shine on me today And if the subway's flooded, bridges break Will you just lay down and take a break Or would you rather kiss the tidal wave Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
