I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
|
The new graffiti says that life¡¯s a bitch
|
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
|
Someone will steal it before it hits the ground
|
Now I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhood
|
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
|
But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck with me
|
I¡¯m gonna keep on walking, they don¡¯t see
|
|
This is my town
|
I was born and raised on these streets
|
This is my town
|
Oh yeah, my town
|
|
Too many people are on the street tonight
|
It¡¯s way too hot someone¡¯s looking for a fight
|
What a mess of faces in an endless sea
|
I¡¯m getting tired of all this energy
|
I guess I could just pick it up and move outside of town
|
And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
|
But then we couldn¡¯t hear them playing down at S.O.B.¡¯s
|
Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free
|
|
This is my town
|
I grew up too fast on these streets
|
Hey this is my town
|
Oh yeah, my town
|
|
Tonight the rain is falling, falling down
|
The lights outside keep changing, without a sound
|
|
Now lets just take a train down into Chinatown
|
Past the house of candles, you know they burned it down
|
Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade
|
They¡¯ll be dancing in the streets
|
Come to carry me away
|
|
Cause this is my town
|
I was born and raised on these streets
|
This is my town
|
I¡¯m walking down these mean streets
|
It¡¯s a big bad town
|
Hey yeah, this is my town
|
