Cityyyyyy Lifeee

I'm walking down the block
 I'm in the cityscape
 Chasing down a break
 Out here to meet my fate
 Every day is new
 Every day is change
 Have to ride the tidal wave
 As all things rearrange
 Stores they come and go
 Stories write themselves
 Neighbors lived in Heaven
 Now they're in a living Hell
 This city has a life
 A life that's all its own
 That neighborhood was live
 'Til it died, dead and gone
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
 I'm still paying rent
 For this apartment house
 In the past five years
 The neighbors priced me out
 Landlord raised my rent
 He's grabbing every cent
 I'm out here grabbing straws
 Looking for a place to rest
 Now the rent is rising
 Every place I look
 And every landlord that I meet
 Is looking like a crook
 They just want my money
 Don't care if I can eat
 They don't care if I sleep out here
 In the naked street
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
 ♪
 Some dudes in neighborhoods
 They're out here packing heat
 They're shooting little kids
 By accident out in the street
 They're shooting grown adults
 They'll say, "It's not my fault"
 Cops push 'em in the car
 Lock 'em in the vault
 Then march off to court
 Get charges for their sins
 The lives they took you know
 They're never coming back again
 Now some will feel remorse
 Others just shrug it off
 But either way the game they played
 It was a total loss
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
 This is the city life
 This is the place I roam
 This is the place where I reside
 Now I just call my home
