A Manehattan Story

[ZD]
Slam back the drink.
put your tab on the seat.
Chillin' with your boy while the light hits the street.
Cold, long day, whatever he might say,
Man, Never gonna rest with the bills in your way.

Check it with your guy, he's lookin at the sky,
while the streets seem to weap with water in their eye.
A smile on his face seems to tell a different place.
But you know the city seaks to bend you to your knees.

another tax here, another shooting there,
another wild chase while the sirens start to blare.
But what this kid sees, it ain't what it be,
but I'd rather not take what the kid wants from me.

Blinded by the parties, blinded by the lights.
Blinded by the move to a city at night.
I wanna see his mind, I wanna be his kind,
I wonder what he's thinkin at this weary time.

[Kozz]
We crusin down Broadway, lookin at the skyline
Lookin so fine while we crusin through the high life
Bow tie, so fly, its a minute past nine
Oh my, so fine, these mares are a dime

New city feel, new city chill
The city never sleeps, but thats the appeal
Gas in the tank, bits in the bank
Rollin down the street in this jungle o' steel

From LP to MH, the crib is where we stake
From PM to AM, we party with a scraich
West side to east coast, the crew goes where we go
I know, he knows, but we know where the scene goes

Blinded by the bills, blinded by the ills
Blinded by the everything 'cept all the thrills
I wanna see his mind, I wanna know his kind
I wonder what he's thinking at this cheery time



[ZD]
Back to reality, ain't even playin' B.
your bright time in the light seems to be killin me.
A fellony, struck back a block ago why you so,
happy. Mate, Can we please, buck off these,
Parties ain't what they used to be.

[Kozz]
Hey G, better get with the times
Why are you down in this city of lights
We been seein the sights, and no gettin into fights
Let go of ya strife, start feelin sublime
And have a fun time

[ZD]
Why make the climb?
You're feelin' sublime, while I'm fallin behind
But I work and stick to the grind.
Every time. We stick on this.
I've been in the piss.
While you feelin' the bliss.
From a small town to the big leagues kids.

[Kozz]
Big leagues? well riddle me this
You sittin there feelin down and shiz
I might be sublime, but there's more to this
I get away from the pain and strain of life's biz
That's how it is

[ZD]
I get the jist, but it ain't my bizz.
City lights don't grab my single minded lense.
I'm tense but talkin' wild in the sense
Doesn't grab my relaxation side wizz.
I have my ways for these days.
I'mma stick to what I lay down.

[Kozz]
Hey now, aint that profound
I live my life on beat to the city sounds
Its surrounds me, a familiar feeling
I see things clearly, that's my honesty really.
But Honestly, this isn't a falacy.
I'll live my life, and you can keep your mentality
