some say you only get so many breaths
when they're gone you'll meet your maker
some people always try to cheat their death but when it comes you just cant shake it. some people try to make a deal to get a little bit more but they try to take it. some of them end up in debt
when their called they try to fake it
but one morning the clock will chime and no more birds come flying by and tempretures keep rising higher
16 bullets come flying by. ai yi yi put your hands up high coz' you never know how long your gunna live till' ya die
they hit you with a missile
hit you with a bomb
hit you with the law try to take your home. break into your house in the middle of the night
track you on a cell phone by satellite
stopped any time you're in your car
search your body search your home an' listenin' in on your phone calls. still no politician got enough balls
lining the people up against the wall. when the truth comes out all hell will call and someday guantanamo will fall
until that day we all will ride on. ai yi yi put your hands up high coz' you never know how long your gunna live till' ya die
thats life in the city
thats life in the city yeah
thats life in the city
mad world in the city. some holdin' on
so damn gone their whole lives livin with their tv on
then radio play the same 10 songs
set your clock by which ones on an watching the news try to see whats wrong
find sombody else to blame it on. hope they never come and reserch you coz' your grandmother was an immigrant too. so if you love somebody better tell them so coz you never ever ever no when they gonna go
if they love you back
just give thamks
cant keep love like money in the bank
you never know
you never know
its gonna get you.
