Lyrics
Looks like the times have got the best of me
My world is jaded, or so it seems
It's got me crawling through this urban dream
Life is oh so hard, yes, it's oh so hard
How's it make you feel, yeah, ooh oh
So I take the bus and try to hurry home
I know the landlord is waiting, expecting compensation
Hustle and bustle over sanity
I can't take this whine and grind because I'm where I wanna be
In the big city, I come alive
In the big city, I don't wanna hide
'Cause in the city, the struggle's real
In the big city, my dreams will set me free
I play with fire, and sometimes I get burned
I took too many chances that left me so defenseless
But I'm not afraid to take a chance on you
You might leave me for another, but I'll sure enjoy the ride
In the big city, I come alive
In the big city, I don't wanna hide
'Cause in the city, the struggle's real
In the big city, my dreams will set me free
I go on, 'cause there's more to life than just pretending
How long 'til I'm over the line?
So long, all these avenues seem never-ending
So strong, I cross over the line
I cross over the line, ooh
In the big city, I come alive
In the big city, I don't wanna hide
'Cause in the city, the struggle's real
In the big city, my dreams will set me free
