Оригинален текст
East side, west side
larcency and homicide
people trying to survive.
Prostitution, retribution
toxic waste and air pollution
politics: no solution.
I've come from the other side of town
This concrete jungle's got me down
I feel the heet, from the street
Live in the city,
die in the city.
Talk is cheap and the air smells s**tty.
Laugh in the city,
cry in the city.
It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty.
Uptown, downtown
On the streets and underground
People trying to get around.
Skyscr*pers, money makers
New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers
One too many circuit brakers.
Live in the city,
die in the city.
Talk is cheap and the air smells s**tty.
Laugh in the city,
cry in the city.
It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty.
