lyrics

Me and my friends went to New York
we spent a weekend in Bushwick
The price was kinda steep, but oh well, we're in New York

On the first day we saw a cockroach
jumped up and scurried across the hardwood
and we all kinda laughed and said oh well, we're in New York

We saw a rat down in the subway
it looked up at my with indifference
as if to say, what's your problem? You're in new York.
The rat got off at 23rd street
we stayed on until Rockerfeller
The people pushed, said get out of the way, you're in New York

On a worn out bench
I stop to take in the racket
Until a lit cigarette,
burned a hole in my jacket

We brought home bedbugs from New York
we got a message from Lauren who said
she had bites up and down, she could barely close her left hand
I found a couple in my queen bed
they were hopping around, they were laughing in my face
after I crushed them and flushed them i said “Go back to New York”....

I’ve all my regrets
And I may find Solutions
In these tall silhouettes
And noise pollution
