Metropolis Lyrics

[Verse 1: FinaL OutlaW]
It all starts on the steps of your building
Where the super swings a broom at you
For disrespecting pedestrian women
By blowing kisses and whistling as if they were animals
Isn't it tragic they can't come up something more tangible?
Public transit and taxes
Street drummers beating on buckets
Police interrupting drunken citizens sleeping in public
You hate it - you love it - you live it - you die it
Servings of sesame chicken and pizza slices your primary diet
I'm neva…letting it go… eva
The cities in me forever
It helped me through so many endeavors
Through drizzling rain, and blizzards of snow
Sizzling summers, when dummies bring their guns to the show
You know?
.…Where nothing ever closes its always open
At 3- 0'clock in the morning, everybody in the lobby smoking
What the hell you know bout using a token?
Or fiending on Mortal Kombat till the arcade was broken

[Hook: FinaL OutlaW]
I love this city, I live my life here
Love this city, it's where I thrive
Love this city, I'm gonna die here
Love this city, it's where I try
Love this city, I live my life here
Love this city, don't ask me why
Love this city, I'm gonna die here
Love this city, it's where I cry [Verse 2: FinaL OutlaW]
Roaches and Rats
24 hour Laundromats…
That's about 86,400 seconds flat
Of the city where the skinny die
And the witty, sit and watch their business figures rise
Show no pity, we was ditching in summer school
…didn't follow the rules
…The type of kids that would take piss in the public pool
Don't deny it, we could tell if you lying
Or if you nervous or beneath the surface have the heart of a lion
Riding the subway back when we was little
Remember kneeling on the train seats to look out window
Life was so simple but we grew up just to hate each other
Over race and color, jealous over possessions instead sharing like brothers
The struggle is harder than a boot camp
But ya gonna get through as long as you have your food stamps
Its gets rough but I ain't never scared
If you could make it here then you can make it anywhere
I love this city

[Hook: FinaL OutlaW]
I love this city, I live my life here
Love this city, it's where I thrive
Love this city, I'm gonna die here
Love this city, it's where I try
Love this city, I live my life here
Love this city, don't ask me why
Love this city, I'm gonna die here
Love this city, it's where I cry
