My Town |
| I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge |
| The new graffiti says that lifeў‚¬"ўs a bitch |
| And now I hear this bridge is falling down |
| Someone will steal it before it hits the ground |
| Now I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhood |
| Where I was just a little girl and life was good |
| But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck with me |
| Iў‚¬"ўm gonna keep on walking, they donў‚¬"ўt see |
| This is my town |
| I was born and raised on these streets |
| This is my town |
| Oh yeah, my town |
| Too many people are on the street tonight |
| Itў‚¬"ўs way too hot someoneў‚¬"ўs looking for a fight |
| What a mess of faces in an endless sea |
| Iў‚¬"ўm getting tired of all this energy |
| I guess I could just pick it up and move outside of town |
| And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down |
| But then we couldnў‚¬"ўt hear them playing down at S.O.B.ў‚¬"ўs |
| Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free |
| This is my town |
| I grew up too fast on these streets |
| Hey this is my town |
| Oh yeah, my town |
| Tonight the rain is falling, falling down |
| The lights outside keep changing, without a sound |
| Now lets just take a train down into Chinatown |
| Past the house of candles, you know they burned it down |
| Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade |
| Theyў‚¬"ўll be dancing in the streets |
| Come to carry me away |
| Cause this is my town |
| I was born and raised on these streets |
| This is my town |
| Iў‚¬"ўm walking down these mean streets |
| Itў‚¬"ўs a big bad town |
| Hey yeah, this is my town |
