[Intro: Wiki & duendita]

Hold on

So long

Home's gone

So long

I can't recognise it

Hold on

So long

When the code's gone and the sun comes up

You know where to find him

[Chorus: Wiki]

These days it's all about who's hot

What you gonna do when you not?

It's all about how much money you got

So what you gon' do when you popped?

I heard they closing up the juice spot

While my old block turn into a new block

Already closed the dollar brew spot

It's New York, why you acting like you shocked?

[Verse 1: Wiki]

I'm exactly where I'm 'sposed to be

How they gon' tax me about my own street?

Used to be taxis now it's UberEats

I got a passion to prove what I see

Keeps on happening, it's gonna repeat

That's just Manhattan, it's part of the fee

There's an attraction to something obscene

What's your reaction, what, you gonna leave?

[Verse 2: duendita]

If you could leave

Then maybe you'll find some relief

Eight hour shift on my feet

Letting me up with this beat

Hop on the Q54

I'm on my way

And it's such a beautiful ride

Wanna' congregate and celebrate

There's hardly spaces for us to get together any more

And you're shutting down and raise the rent

And build some stores no-one can afford

Yes, I'm over it

I told my friends

I'm moving away

I'm moving far away

I can't afford it here

They won't even consider me for an apartment

The pressure rises this moment

If I fall lost in the current

My body's done and I know it

I'm fried

I'm fucking fried and I need a softer life

[Chorus: Wiki]

These days it's all about who's hot

What you gonna do when you not?

It's all about how much money you got

So what you gon' do when you popped?

I heard they closing up the juice spot

While my old block turn into a new block

Already closed the dollar brew spot

It's New York, why you acting like you shocked?

These days it's all about who's hot

What you gonna do when you not?

It's all about how much money you got

So what you gon' do when you popped?

I heard they closing up the juice spot

While my old block turn into a new block

Already closed the dollar brew spot

It's New York, why you acting like you shocked?

[Verse 3: Wiki]

24 hours in the daytime burn waste mine

Laid bass turn daylight stay wired

Awake times change, I try change at the same time

City change in the trains in the A Line

See the change in the way I try to say hi

And then anyone that pass my way

I just wanna say it made my day when you stayed by

Like if you gave [?] when you came by

Either way I appreciate ya

Just my nature

But when the stakes high

To separate real from the fake takes a trained eye

But I've trained mine

Can see it in plain sight like a stain on a Hanes white

They always show the same old signs

But hey, I pay no mind

[Outro: Wiki & duendita]

Hold on

So long

Home's gone

So long

I can't recognise it
