Uptown Up

Bright lights, big city, sometimes a pity

The hustle-bustle, the nitty-gritty deep in the city

Take a look around, frown upon every face

A can of mace is up under the waist, just in case

So fax me, tax me a hundred dollar bill

It takes skill to give 'em your money straight at will

Sales pressure, the need to succeed 'til you bleed

Constant struggle to get more than you need

My speed is Mach 1 like Top Gun

As I cruise the ferry with no ordinary Tom, Dick or dime

Trump-tight 'til late at night, from party-hoppin' in Gotham

Freak show time to clubs in cotton

So take a flight on the wild side, but keep it in stride

Schizo city so much, you can call it Jekyll and Hyde

Divided by the green, I mean

More box tops than scrapers in town, so put a green thumb down

Uptown, ooh

Uptown up, uh, ooh

Uptown up

Uptown up in the NYC
