Streets Of New York (city Life) Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Here I am, here we are 

As it will go on forever 

Noise, always noise 

Candles burn, lights are low 

I haven't a place to go 

Life in it's constant state of moving nowhere 

The music is nice, floats through the air 

Sounds of waves crashing everywhere 

Percussive submissions, mind conditions 

Writing with the left hand 

Unknowing and taking the chance

Why not fly? Why not try? 

This constant game I play to stay high 

But all is just a state of mind 

All is reality of your choice 

Constant evolution, constant adaptation 

Constant state of moving nowhere 

Footsteps, silence is loud 

Kindness is brave, wisdom is long 

Loving is necessary, I need it, we need it 

Searching, looking for the satisfaction 

It is nowhere, it is everywhere 

Preaching, pleading, praying for God to come 

What are we waiting for? 

Why are we so afraid of taking charge? 

But it's always changing, always 

In the constant state of going nowhere 

We all have demons to battle, roads to walk 

Crosses to bear, mistakes and sins 

Candles and their steady glow 

Water and its constant crash 

Endless horizon, rocks of times long gone 

Still strong, still here and so are we 

Here we are forever 

The constant state of going nowhere 

The constant state of going nowhere 

Constant state of going nowhere 

Con-con-constant state of moving nowhere 

Constant state of moving nowhere 

It's like a jungle 

It's like a jungle 

It's like a jungle out here, so much struggle out here 

And my dreams steal my rest, sleep's the cousin of death 

Always feels like a race against father time 

In the streets of New York 

All I see is street hoes, and bullet holes in my people 

Only crime fills the brain, feels like I'm going insane 

The revolution has to start, don't waste no time 

In the streets of New York 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York City 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York City 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York City 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York City 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city 

New York, New York City 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city 

New York, New York City 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city 

New York, New York City 

In the, in the city 

In the, in the city
