Alicia Keys - Streets of New York (In the city) lyrics

Your rating:

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 it just a state of mind
All is reality of your choice
Constant evolution
Constant adaption
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 City
In the, in the 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

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
