about
So excited about this futuristic out-of-the-box ode to NYC! Three different backgrounds, three perspectives on a city that always is and never was, like a Phoenix, unable to die.
I met Komputer and Sarahfina at Notes For Notes in Flatbush, and it was so amazing to work with them! Have fun listening and get sucked into this bittersweet yet raw vibe of New York.
lyrics
Sweet, sweet NY
You’re mint to the core
Sweet, sweet NY
You’re crazy for sure
Sweet, sweet NY
Fucked up and worn out
Sweet, sweet NY
What is it about you?
We made a trip up to Fresno
She had to let all of her friends know
We was recreating the temples
The temples our body’s was meant for
We competent it’s too simple
We do not have time for a wrinkle
Come in for
Some arguments
Some calm regrets
Some parliament
To let you in my hex
You was in my hex
I’m not confident
But braggadocio
No motto of mine
Mo money mo problems
You signed to fables that call themselves labels
You are the hen with the bread on the table
But you got no seat at the table?
Executives countin’ your blessings
They bleeding you dry
For that tempo
New York how I miss you
Back when my life was more simple
She from the Windy City
I’ve heard they take no pity
And for her I’m awfully giddy
We smokin’ like some chimneys
Open a window my heart is like a kidney
It’s an organ a mortgage
A fortune in a penny
Can you get dressed already?
Today I will be busy
With the pussy you stingy
Yet you call yourself kinky
How that work?
Preach that, church!
You switchin’ up like Lindsay
I feel hurt
You do dirt
I knew you took no pity
Oh sweet NY
Yeah, you’re so crazy poor
Oh sweet NY
You’re crazy for sure
Sweet, sweet NY
Fucked, you’re so fucking rich
Oh bitter sweet NY
The asphalt is vibrating
Laughing, hating
Acerbated and liberated
And not only the buildings are high
Frantic pace
So many things to do, to lose
Third World country in a First World lobby
Revolving doors are open
Though they’re broken, oh
Everything’s in motion
In the moment NOW
Beginning and end
You fly like a Phoenix – unable to die
NY, NY, mission abort
Report
Extort, escort
To the higher forts
Yeah, oh sweet NY
You crazy thing
Oh sweet NY
You’re mint to the core
Oh sweet NY
Hey, sweet NY
What is it about you?
Hurry the fuck up and walk
A drive down memory lane,
Game’s over, control all your pain
Police siren, an everyday ring
Sweet matrix with everything
Like the Phoenix, you must rise again
Black Gotham, they know all the trends
Good things always come to an end
Be careful of who you befriend
Ya momma cooking up on the corner
Ya boy selling life to the coroner
The gift of the foreigner
He not going with tempos
Don't fuck up the temple
They Roaming streets
Mona Lisa be careful
Tourist they fearful
City’s no virgin
His eyes are so certain
No Broadway but they closing curtains
The Phoenix unable to die
The girl who cried
The boy who lied
The side you picked
The wave you ride
I hope you drown
Sea of lights
The Concrete jungle the Jane that fights
Like a Phoenix
Unable to die
Rising from the ashes
Just to get by
Unable to die
