I love New York streets
The sound of speakers pumping beats
Is oh so sweet

Skyscrapers reach for the clouds
and then the stars at night
A canvas speckled
with neon lights

Sirens blare from far away
And traffic never slows
Cars fill the streets
No matter where you go

So many cultures in one place
But still people only care
About race

Cats howl and hiss
In an alley stinking
Of human ****

Thousands of empty apartments
Laying in wait
But the homeless stay homeless
And they call it fate

High fashion
Low self worth

Taxis, bodegas, newsstands, and fruit stands galore
We are 8 million strong and still
Growing more

Hustlers hustle any hours
Crackheads fiend in the streets
for months without a shower

Nodding out junkies sway
Almost falling down
All beautiful, *****, loud and bright
Things make up my town

So chaotic
But all seems to work
This is what it's like
It's why

I love New York
