Lyrics

Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Alarm is going off roll over and hit snooze
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Me versus you that’s the big city news
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Thirty years to buy a house what a man gonna do
Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
What you gonna do with these big city blues

Yo I’m just sitting back and boozing
On these tracks, I feel less human
See the music is a movement
But sometimes it all feels stagnant
Watching time fracture into fractals
Then it passes over trends fed to the masses
Grow detached seek greener pastures
Motor crashes at the crossroads
If I make it only god knows
From a different era, they’ll be studying me like fossils
When I’m gone
Alone in the big city
So I know life carries on
Videos to DVDs to sync and see
Idocycrasies at how we became what we now be
Having so much but inside still so empty
Worker bees just feed the queen not me
Exiled from the hive
Outcasted from my tribe
I’m just happy to be alive now

Da dah da dah
Da da da da dah
Da dah da dah
Da dah da dah
Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Alarm is going off roll over and hit snooze
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Me versus you that’s the big city news
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Thirty years to buy a house what a man gonna do
Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
What you gonna do with these big city blues

Fact is you can’t buy a new house if you average
Now I’m trying to make the numbers line up like an abacus
People buying dogs cause they can’t afford to have a kid
That’s just the way it is I’m rapping just the way it is
Swear I’m so original but we all wear the same brands
Walking down the street in some all birds and some Ray Bans
I swear I got a different sound but sound just like your favorite band
I swear I’m gonna make it soon, everyone has got that plan
That’s just the way it is
I rap it just the way it is
Gotta sing the blues cause I can’t hold the weight of this
Hope it eases your mind when you walking and you play this shit
I Hope it ease your mind when you walking and you play this shit

Da dah da dah
Da da da da dah
Da dah da dah
Da dah da dah
Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Alarm is going off roll over and hit snooze
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Me versus you that’s the big city news
Got the big city blues can’t win can’t lose
Thirty years to buy a house what a man gonna do
Big city blues can’t win can’t lose
What you gonna do with these big city blues
