New york city Lyrics
(Chorus)
II lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
the wind blows and the building tall
I gave my life for the music industry
with a pencil and pad I gave it everything I had
made the sacrifice and I never looked back
record companies tried so hard to change my sound
I was so broke hungry and jerked around
I couldn't pay the rent and I didn't eat for weeks
I was gonna be living out on the street
the pawn shop took my things my life and soul
I got my gas and electric turned off at home
sold my parents jewelery who passed away
just so I could try to make it through one more day
If i get a job I gotta give up my music
its my own health but I know what im doing
took a plane ride back from nyc
nothings gonna stop me from my destiny
(Chorus)
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
the wind blows and the building tall
I gave my life for the music industry
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
I give my life for the music industry
I went homeless and I even went hungry
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
look and me now
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
I didn't ever tap out
rappers act ghetto but live in mansion
I usta love music but I don't know what happened
now its about spinners and suvs
hootchie momma , grills,and fake gold teeth
giant jewelery just to boost your self esteem
while your fans work hard to buy your cd
over priced merchandise and concert tickets
your greedy and un grateful for what u been given
most the people in the industry arnt even straight
so shallow and rude and extremely fake
stress and negative on me all the time
people say what holds me back the most is my pride
without that I can't even face myself
Id rather fail as me then succeed as someone else
never give up no matter how hard it seems
cause right now this is my boyhood dream
my shoulders on the mat for the 123
you thought I was dead but you didn't bury me
there's fire in my eyes as I take a life
cause for this music industry I done gave my life
What happened to being original and making new sounds
I play guitar make the beat sing and write the lyrics down
(Chorus)
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
the wind blows and the building tall
I gave my life for the music industry
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
I give my life for the music industry
I went homeless and I even went hungry
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
look and me now
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
I didn't ever tap out
If you wanna fight I use my fist
no guns no back up just me that's it
I been hurt been bruised
its old news
all the odd's against be but I still wont lose
whatever didn't kill me has made me stronger
I paid my dues so I know I belong here
like a rebel I don't follow any rule
hello no I wont ever play the fool
how you gonna intimate what cant be scared
let me ask you are you ready are prepared
me against you Ill make your blood spill
I thought I told you don't hunt what you can't kill
It's not the skill of the man its the will of the man
reach your goals for yourself cause no one else can
(Chorus)
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
the wind blows and the building tall
I gave my life for the music industry
I lost it all in new york city
champagne popping its the greatest feeling
I give my life for the music industry
I went homeless and I even went hungry
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
look and me now
Hell no I didn't ever give up I wont ever sell out
I didn't ever tap out
