Big city life
Big city life
People in a show, all lined in a row
We just push on by, it's funny, how hard we try
Take a moment to relax, before you do anything rash
Don't you wanna know me? Be a friend of mine
I'll share some wisdom with you
Don't you ever get lonely, from time to time
Don't let the system get you down Big City Life, me try forget by
Pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try
Big City Life, here my heart have no base
And right now Babylon deep on me case
Big City Life, try forget by
Pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try
Big City Life, my heart have no base
And right now Babylon deep on me case
