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
