brad hester - new york gritty lyrics

[intro]

new york, new york

[chorus]

its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine
its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine

[verse 1]

it ain’t all fun and games
everyone ask for change
homeless live on the train
i just don’t understand
say i dont got it
but if we be out to starlets
imma prolly throw some dollars
at a hottie
til i’m outta bands
drugs got my people looking like the walking dead
black on black violence just leave us all chalked and red
do not talk to me if you the type to talk to feds
before they ever catch me slipping they gon catch these hands
i ain’t going out without fight
20/20 never lost sight
to the north east, i’m the north star awww yea
the truth comes to light
this ain’t checkers this chess yessir
every move you make a l like a knight
all my targets get sniped
i earned all of my stripes
[chorus]

its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine
its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine

[verse 2]

been here before it was gentrified imma real new yorker
bronx bold til i’m old and gotta wheel the walker
who gonna be the role models for our sons and daughters
trial and error was our teacher when n0body taught us
fist raised for every black that paved the way before us
waves hit slave ships they couldn’t wade the waters
even with a 400 year fast forward
my people still get locked up for disobeying orders
pure horror
like a film from jordan peele
the systems really built against us we need laws repealed
on top of that kids k!lling kids just like abortion pills
its getting harder to convince the world the lord is real
still prayed up thats how i stayed up
nothing what they gave us but i never gave up
came up now i got the rates raised up
they used to play us and now they play us ah hah
[chorus]

its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine
its so hard in my city
i go hard for my city
give my heart to my city
i gave my all to my city
im the spark for the city
light in the dark in my city
yea new york is my city
yea new york is mine
