Lyrics
NEW YORK MINUTE
©2003 HANIFE
I'M GONNA CRASH THIS TOWN
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
I'VE GOTTA BRAND NEW NAME
TO BRING ON THE CHANGE
GOT NOTHIN' TO PROVE
GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE
'CAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME
IS WORTH A NEW YORK RIDE
WELL YOU CAN NAME YOUR PRICE
FOR ALL THE DREAMS I KNOW
BUT I WON'T NEED YOUR TIME
TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN
'CAUSE A NEW YORK MINUTE IS ALL IT TAKES
TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
A NEW YORK MINUTE IS AN EASY WAY
TO STUMBLE UPSIDE DOWN
IF ONLY TIME HAD SOME KIND OF LIMIT
FEELIN' OUTTA CONTROL
ON AN ENDLESS ROAD
I'M ON A HIGH SPEED LOAN
AND I CAN'T LET GO
AND IF YOU NAME YOUR PRICE
FOR ALL THE DREAMS I KNOW
STILL I WON'T NEED YOUR TIME
TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN
'CAUSE A NEW YORK MINUTE IS ALL IT TAKES
TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
A NEW YORK MINUTE IS AN EASY WAY
TO STUMBLE UPSIDEDOWN
IF ONLY TIME HAD SOME KIND OF LIMIT
DOWNTOWN, BUSY STREET
BRINGIN' ME DOWN IN A CUT-THROAT CITY
THESE DAYS I NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD
AND MY SHIP'S DOWN, SINKIN' DEEP
BRINGIN' ME ROUND IN A RAT-RACE LIVIN'
MAYBE I'M BETTER OFF BACK HOME
'CAUSE A NEW YORK MINUTE IS ALL IT TAKES
TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
A NEW YORK MINUTE IS AN EASY WAY
TO STUMBLE UPSIDEDOWN
IT'S A MATTER OF TIME
'CAUSE A NEW YORK MINUTE IS ALL IT TAKES
TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
A NEW YORK MINUTE IS AN EASY WAY
TO STUMBLE UPSIDEDOWN
IF ONLY TIME HAD SOME KIND OF LIMIT
