New York City Lyrics

New York City lyrics

I see it every day 
Everywhere I look they say 
Another life has been taken away 
It makes my stomach turn 
But livin` here you gotta learn 
Get used to it, it`s reality 
Say your prayers 
Hope it won`t happen to you 
Mind you business 
Do what you gotta do 
Don`t look for trouble 
Sometimes trouble finds you 
What can you do, what can I do ? 
 
One on one fights don`t exist 
Fist fights are extinct 
Nowadays people don`t seem to think 
They can`t see how easy 
It is to set a soul free 
That decision is not theirs to make 
 
Repeat chorus 
 
Now you see what I mean 
Protecting my family and me 
What can I do ? 
 
It makes my stomach turn 
But livin` here you gotta learn 
You gotta fight back when someones 
Tries to take your life from you
