New York City
GTA SA K-Rose Lyrics

New York City, I met a man
In the bustling city of New York, I encountered an individual

Told me that his name was Dan
He introduced himself as Dan

Said I don't know who I am
Expressed uncertainty about his own identity

Just who I wanna be
But he knew exactly who he aspired to become

Told me that he didn't care
He declared his indifference

Ran his fingers through my hair
Playfully touched my hair

Tossed a coin up in the air
Casually flipped a coin into the air

Said 'tails, come home with me'
And proclaimed that if it landed on tails, I should accompany him to his place

Heads went down, so I went
The coin landed on heads, so I decided to leave

To the apartment of a friend
To the residence of a companion

Where I didn't have to pay no rent
A place where I didn't have the burden of paying rent

Or be good company
And I didn't have to worry about being entertaining

New York's a good time to let go
Being in New York is an opportune moment to release inhibitions

New York's a good time to let go
New York City provides the perfect occasion to loosen up

They're too fast and you're too slow
The people here are excessively fast-paced, while you struggle to keep up

And New York's a good time to let go
Indeed, New York is a suitable time to embrace freedom

Johnny of Brooklyn, born and bred
Then I encountered Johnny, who hailed from Brooklyn

To put ideas into my head
His intention was to influence my thinking

Can't remember what he said
Unfortunately, I cannot recall his exact words

But I know it wasn't true
However, I am certain that it was not truthful

Asked him if he had a light
Inquired about whether he possessed a source of illumination

Asked me 'honey where are you sleepin' tonight?'
He then questioned, 'Darling, where will you be staying tonight?'

I said 'one thing I know, johnny, is I'm not going home with you'
I firmly declared, 'One thing I am certain of, Johnny, is that I will not go home with you'

So I got lost on the lower east side
Consequently, I found myself disoriented on the lower east side of the city

'Cause I pissed off my tour guide
This resulted from annoying my tour guide

I was lucky to be alive
I considered myself fortunate to still be breathing

Underneath these city lights
Amidst the radiance of the urban landscape

There's acid rain that stained my jeans
Within this environment, acid rain tarnished my denim trousers

Made them go from blue to green
Turning their color from blue to green

Made me look just like some kind of acid-washed-up movie queen
This transformation made me resemble a faded movie star associated with the retro acid-washed style

Bleached my hair, stained my face
Further, it caused my hair to become bleached and discolored my facial complexion

Made me drink just for the taste
The experience compelled me to consume alcohol solely for the sensation on my taste buds

And to burn out the monster this town has brought out in me
Additionally, I indulged in drinking to suppress the inner demons that this city has provoked within me

So Tennessee, when I get home
Now, addressing Tennessee, my intended destination upon returning home

You just better leave me alone
I must insist that you refrain from bothering me

Don't try to claim me as your own
Do not attempt to assert ownership over me

I'm not the girl I used to be
I have undergone a transformation and am no longer the person I once was

And New York's a good time to let go
Furthermore, this reiterates that New York City is an opportune moment to liberate oneself

New York's a good time to let go
New York City serves as an excellent occasion to embrace freedom

'Cause they're much too fast and you're too slow
The individuals here move at an excessive pace, while you struggle to keep up

And New York's a good time to let go
Undoubtedly, New York is a fitting time to release inhibitions

And New York's a good time to let go
Additionally, New York City is an appropriate period to embrace freedom
