Big City

Looks like the times have got the best of me My world is jaded, or so it seems It's got me crawling through this urban dream Life is oh so hard, yes it's oh so hard How's it make you feel? So I - take the bus and try to hurry home I know the landlord is waiting, expecting compensation Hustle and bustle over sanity I can take this wind and grind because I'm where I wanna be In the big city - I come alive In the big city - I don't want to hide 'Cause in the city - the struggle's real In the big city - my dreams will... set me free I play with fire and sometimes I get burned I took too many chances that left me so defenseless But I'm not afraid to take a chance on you You might leave me for another but I'm sure you'll enjoy the ride In the big city - I come alive In the big city - I don't want to hide 'Cause in the city - the struggle's real In the big city - my dreams will... set me free I go on, 'cause there's more to life than just pretending How long till I'm over the line? So long, all these avenues seem never-ending So strong, I cross over the line I cross over the line... In the big city - I come alive In the big city - I don't want to hide 'Cause in the city - the struggle's real In the big city - my dreams will... set me free
