Sweaty from the heat baby NYC! In a park full foreigners Treading off the beat Feeling oh so small looking up at these walls We gave power to kids who can destroy the world Now they sit in offices Behind desks in grey I can not say they're evil, man They're just playing the game And it's the game we've gotta play We all make our own path You've gotta do the math Survival… it's just for a laugh
Don’t you go wasting it Oh put it to the test Get out on your own and try to do your best! Don’t you go wasting it Put it to the test Don't let these motherfuckers get you down!
Ooo we can always take it back Oh we can always take it Back to days when we had 8 dollars Q-tip was on the deck Brooklyn's Tuesday night
So little money in my pocket What to do? I never went to Uni Will I ever make it through? To have music as a goal Is scary to me Because every time I look around I think oh my god I’ve gotta save money Gotta go back on tour I’ve gotta hang out with my friends I gotta be a lover I’ve gotta help my girlfriend more than anything in the world but Oh what am I ever gonna do?
