Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seeing my prayers going unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well here I am, Lord
Knocking on your back door
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free in New York City
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seeing my prayers going unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well here I am, Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free in New York City
The lyrics of B.o.B Feat. Polly Scattergood's song "New York New York" paint a picture of life on the streets of New York City, with both the glamour and the harsh realities of life in the city. The singer is accompanied by two police officers, possibly indicating that he is involved in some illegal activity. However, the woman he is with warns him not to do whatever it is that he is planning to do. Despite this, he seems determined to go through with it, indicating that he is brave or perhaps reckless. The lyrics also touch on themes of family, with a verse mentioning a brother who has been imprisoned, and the desire to break free from the cycle of poverty and crime. Ultimately, the song portrays a gritty, dynamic city where anything can happen, for better or worse.
