City hustle - Oh city hustle 

Are you sitting on that train still?

Are you done waiting in line?

Are you done being young?

A city hustle rides cabs and subway cars, are you still riding that bus still?

No honking or horns

No needles or horns

An occasional car alarm 

Are you still sitting on that bus still?

I traded jeeps for skis

A beemer for rent

White lines on a tablet

Struggling to pay rent

I’ve lied and I’ve stolen

I’ve been a liar and a cheat 

I’m a pretty open person

Certain things are better not to repeat

Are you still riding on that bus?

Can you save me a seat?

A subway ride together is one of those things I’d like to repeat

Oh what it is to be young 

Dumb 

And in love with the world 

Love 

Or 

Violence 

Everytime I’ll choose love 

To forgive isn’t to forget 

Forgetting isn’t dumb

With all the mistakes I’ve made there are many parts of being young I’d like to forget 

The sooner we forget we make the same mistake twice

The sooner we make amends 

We stop rolling the dice

Certain things don’t need to be left to chance

100 to 1 

Some things are better left interrupted 

Certain conversations are better left on a bathroom wall or the doors of a subway

I’m coming up for air

Did you save me a seat?

My MTA card isn’t working 

Can you scan me in and save me a seat?

I spent all my money on drugs and have nothing to eat

Are you still sitting on that bus still?
