New York City lyrics

I see it every day
Everywhere I look they say
Another life has been taken away
It makes my stomach turn
But livin` here you gotta learn
Get used to it, it`s reality
Say your prayers
Hope it won`t happen to you
Mind you business
Do what you gotta do
Don`t look for trouble
Sometimes trouble finds you
What can you do, what can I do ?

One on one fights don`t exist
Fist fights are extinct
Nowadays people don`t seem to think
They can`t see how easy
It is to set a soul free
That decision is not theirs to make

Repeat chorus

Now you see what I mean
Protecting my family and me
What can I do ?

It makes my stomach turn
But livin` here you gotta learn
You gotta fight back when someones
Tries to take your life from you
