City Life

Lyrics

[Chorus] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world [Verse 1: Romeo JD] I can tell you stories that'll make you say The city's wild, how can you stay? City life is like a mental trap You break away for awhile, then you come right back And it seems like you can't get away From the fire pump on a summer day At night the guys would stand around Telling fairy tales of the girls they found [Chorus] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world [Verse 2: Boogie Knight] I say the train's so crowded you can't even think Ah man, somebody stinks I say stinkin' on the train is a low-down shame Messing with my nose membranes Harry in your pocket, Harry in your pocket You better buy a lock for your pocket and lock it Lock your doors and your windows too And buy a dog that's bigger than you! [Chorus] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world [Bridge] There was a time when I used to say I can't take it I just got to get away (Get away) Things get rough and that ain't no lie But as I think about it I just got to have my... [Chorus] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world [Verse 3: Romeo JD] City life, alive at night The trains ain't right, I'll ride my bike People walkin', some are talkin' Smoke in the air so some are coughin' Frank stands, one man bands Kids wantin' money so they break-dance Freak shows, music flows From kids with portable radios People downtown breathe dirty air But they'd rather be there than anywhere You know the relatives visit from far away Afraid to let their kids come out and play Advice about the city? You just can't give it The only way to learn about life is live it I've been other places so I'm justified When I say city life can teach you to survive [Chorus] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world [Outro] City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world City life, it's a life that makes you strong City life, in the city you gotta keep moving on City life, the pressure grows but so do you City life, you've got to fight to make dreams come true City life, there's always something going down City life, cooling out on the town City life, it can take you for a twirl City life, there's nothing like it in the world City life, there's always something City life
