Upper West - West Side Story (Official Video)(MP3_320K)
[00:06.84] You could hate, listen, love, or ignore me
[00:09.76] But buckle up for my west side story
[00:12.68] Where do we go from here...
[00:18.53] Grew up on seven second
[00:19.85] Moved up to 87th
[00:21.45] We rep that city where we saw the smoke on 9/11
[00:24.37] Just kids in second grade
[00:25.70] Or maybe third, it was
[00:27.29] But either way, that day we really saw what murder was
[00:30.21] You ever heard of us?
[00:31.54] This city I reside
[00:33.13] Grew up on fields of grass and gravel down on riverside
[00:36.05] That's where I learned to dream
[00:37.38] On top that rock, I'd sing
[00:38.98] I told my dad one day that I'd grow up to be a King!
[00:41.90] I said I'm living now
[00:43.23] Cuz we all die later
[00:44.82] Hey, dad, look up one day, you'll see me on that skyscraper
[00:47.75] See, I was 6 years old
[00:49.07] I learned to tie my laces
[00:50.67] So I could walk my city's streets and see the different faces
[00:53.59] Made up of every color
[00:54.92] Mixed in with every race
[00:56.51] No matter where I am in life, I won't forget this place
[00:59.43] When people grow up fast
[01:01.02] This teenage dream is different
[01:02.35] Cuz kids will tell you that they hear you, but they never listen
[01:05.28] I rep that west end
[01:06.60] I see that Hudson River
[01:08.20] That murky water looking perfect with the stat of Liber-Tee
[01:11.39] That's NYC
[01:12.45] East or west or battery
[01:13.78] Man, that's where I have to be
[01:15.11] Just hop up on that 2 or 3
[01:16.96] Express to Soho
[01:18.56] Man, I love that downtown
[01:19.88] Just like a yo-yo, when I leave, I'll just come back around
[01:22.81] These are my stomping grounds
[01:24.14] And they will be always
[01:25.73] This city made me just exactly what I am today
[01:28.92] You could hate, listen, love, or ignore me
[01:31.57] But buckle up for my west side story
[01:34.77] Where do we go from here
[01:40.61] It's where our hearts belong
[01:43.52] They'll always sing this song
[01:46.45] Where do we go from here... hey, hey
[01:52.02] I said I'm from the west!"
[01:53.62] Side of this busy city
[01:54.95] Where people never rest
[01:56.54] Stay focused on the pretty
[01:57.87] Lights of the skyline
[01:59.46] I tread the high-line
[02:00.79] The seconds fly by in the NY, that's NY-time
[02:03.71] I feel it in the air with every single breath I take
[02:06.63] These streets are under me with every single step I make
[02:09.56] I said, "For heaven's sake
[02:11.15] Just take us back one day
[02:12.75] Whether in spirit, souls, or dreams make it happen someway
[02:15.67] Back against the grass, we're staring at the summer night
[02:18.59] Baby, just relax and let this moment come to life
[02:21.51] I'm looking straight up from the lawn, I'm gone and feel the rush
[02:24.43] Could never see a star, but I know this city's filled with us
[02:27.35] I am forever grateful
[02:28.68] For all you've given me
[02:30.28] These endless possibilities, and now I'm living free
[02:33.20] And even when I thought this city had no sympathy, I saw that every day's a treat and every night's a symphony
[02:39.05] I swear I love this sound
[02:40.37] This light, this air, this ground
[02:41.96] That's why I say it proud when people ask of my hometown
[02:44.88] No matter where we go from here or where we may reside
[02:47.80] Just know that all our stories started on that West Side!
[02:50.73] You could hate, listen, love, or ignore me
[02:53.65] But buckle up for my west side story
[02:56.57] Where do we go from here
[03:02.41] It's where our hearts belong
[03:05.60] They'll always sing this song
[03:08.53] Where do we go from here... hey, hey
