See my face you know where I've been walking in jungle
Cruising down boulevard part of the race taking a tumble. Love in that stranger still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue and soon the hate will be there too. Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels. Life in the big apple moves very fast. Cops on route are hot in pursuit as windows are shattered. Cafe and arcade are teeming with loot the sidewalks are scattered. Walking down highways just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth you spare the rope he'll hang himself. Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you . . . Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you . . . Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you. . . .
