New York city

I see it every day

Everywhere I look they say

Another life has been taken away

It makes my stomach turn

But livin' here you gotta learn

Get used to it, it's reality

Say your prayers

Hope it won't happen to you

Mind you business

Do what you gotta do

Don't look for trouble

Sometimes trouble finds you

What can you do, what can I do ?



One on one fights don't exist

Fist fights are extinct

Nowadays people don't seem to think

They can't see how easy

It is to set a soul free

That decision is not theirs to make



Repeat chorus



Now you see what I mean

Protecting my family and me

What can I do ?



It makes my stomach turn

But livin' here you gotta learn

You gotta fight back when someones

Tries to take your life from you
