Lyrics

0:24I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
0:28The new graffiti says that life's a bitch
0:32And now I hear this bridge is falling down
0:36Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground
0:39Now I wanna go out walking in my own neighborhood
0:44Where I was just a little girl and life was good
0:47But the boys are on the corner gonna f**k with me
0:52I'm gonna keep on walking they don't see
0:55This is my town
0:59I was born and raised
1:02On these streets
1:03This is my town oh yeah
1:08Oh yeah my town
1:20Too many people are on the street tonight
1:24It's way too hot someone's looking for a fight
1:28What a mess of faces in an endless sea
1:32I'm getting tired of all this energy
1:36And I guess
1:36I could just pick it up and move outside of town
1:40And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
1:44But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S O B s
1:48Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free
1:52And this is my town
1:56I grew up too fast
1:58On these streets
2:00Hey this is my town oh yeah
2:04Hey yeah yeah
2:07This is my town oh yeah
2:18Tonight the rain is falling
2:23Falling down
2:26The lights outside keep changing
2:30Without a sound oh yeah
2:49Now let's just take a train down into Chinatown
2:53Past the house of candles
2:54You know they burned it down
2:57Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade
3:00They'll be dancing in the streets
3:02Come to carry me away
3:04And this is my town
3:08I was born and raised
3:11On these streets
3:12This is my town
3:17I'm walking down
3:19These mean streets
3:20It's a big bad town
3:24This is my town
3:28Hey yeah yeah this is my
3:35Oh my town
3:45I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
3:53Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that life's a bitch
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground
Now I wanna go out walking in my own neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
But the boys are on the corner  gonna f**k with me
I'm gonna keep on walking  they don't see
This is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town  oh yeah
Oh yeah  my town
Too many people are on the street tonight
It's way too hot  someone's looking for a fight
What a mess of faces in an endless sea
I'm getting tired of all this energy
And I guess
I could just pick it up and move outside of town
And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S O B s
Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free
And this is my town
I grew up too fast
On these streets
Hey  this is my town  oh yeah
Hey  yeah  yeah
This is my town  oh yeah
Tonight the rain is falling
Falling down
The lights outside keep changing
Without a sound  oh yeah
Now let's just take a train down into Chinatown
Past the house of candles
You know they burned it down
Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade
They'll be dancing in the streets
Come to carry me away
And this is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town
I'm walking down
These mean streets
It's a big  bad town
This is my town
Hey yeah  yeah  this is my
Oh  my town
I said  yeah  yeah  yeah  yeah  yeah
Yeah  yeah  yeah  yeah
