(INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION)
(VERSE 1)
Assassin with gun is taking his aim to target his rival
And tossing the street is a dangerous game, the stakes are survival 
Love in that stranger still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue and soon the hate will be there too
(CHORUS)
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast…
(VERSE 2)
Cops on route are hot in pursuit as windows are shattered
Café and arcade are teeming with loot, the sidewalks are scattered
Walking… just seeing…
While dealer man enjoys his wealth
You spare the rope he'll hang himself
(INSTRUMENTAL CODA)
