But before you know it, it ll be gone
But I ain t complaining, don t get me wrong
It s not easy, In the city
Street walker in the middle of your life
Every day is like shooting dice
You carry yourself like you carry a knife
In the city
Fast talker in the middle of the street
Trying to hustle everyone that you meet
Sooner or later everybody gets beat
It s not easy There s no pity
In the city
