  • We hustlin' down in the Les
    Up and down the Queens Express
    Lookin' to bridge the great divide
    Staring down the Brooklyn sun

    I'm not sure we can carry on
    Some day we gunna hit our stride
    Gettin home at 4 am
    We can't sleep again

    New York City entertains
    Some days I'm afraid to hope
    City air can make you choke
    We wouldn't have it any other way

    No more fake news
    Play us the blues
    Play us our village groove
    We cruise in our ride

    Paying our dues
    Jammin this village groove
    Crazy freaks are everywhere
    You gotta watch yourself down there

    Or you'll get pushed beneath the drain
    Where do we begin and end
    Time's your enemy and your friend
    Call me prophet call me king

    Gettin home at 4 am
    We can't sleep again
    New York City entertains
    Some days i'm afraid to hope

    City air can make you choke
    We wouldn't have it any other way
    No more fake news

    Play us the blues
    Play us our village groove
    We cruise in our ride
    Paying our dues
    Jammin this village groove Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
