Close to the edge, I'm like a bomb ticking slowly Just don't push me if you know what's good for you, I'm not that holy. I'm an island, I'm a rock On an island made of rock Concrete flowers, falling towers To tell the time, who needs a watch? Ain't that just like New York Ain't that just like tv There's nothin' like New York Don't you believe what you see. Prechorus It's like a jungle (it's like a jungle ) It's like a jungle sometimes (It's like a jungle sometimes) It's like a jungle (it's like a jungle) It's like a jungle sometimes. (It's like a jungle sometimes) Chorus I got this love for New York, New York But I don't think thay she knows I said goodbye to New York, New york But my heart won't let her go I've seen a few things, I've seen fire, I've seen rain What I haven't seen's much sunshine, Through my window shades of grey Baby's crying, Mommy's trying, her very best to make ends meet Daddy's spot is on the corner, made at least 3 G's last week. Prechorus Chorus Still waters run deep on the corners of Wall st. Too many cooks in the kitchen ,No shepherds for the sheep. Only Lawyers and Doctors, like gangsters and mobsters. The ground ain't safe anymore, we need police helicopters. It's like a jungle sometimes, I gotta suit up in camouflauge.....or blend with the Philistines, And swing a sling on the boulavard. Nikes, Converse, Pumas, Addidas Everybody's moving fast, but they ain't running to Jesus. They want blood, watch the spillage They wanna conquer and pillage. Pillars of Salt, don't look back in the village. Prechorus Chorus
