Story Behind The Song
The song try's to capture the experience of more than 10 years of living in Manhattan. Zafar Amin lived there from the age of 20 to 35. Its tough to capture all that happened, most of it was an awesome experience and that is what this song trys to capture.
Song Description
The song descirbes the bands that play on the side walks, talks about the pretzel smells that are so common there. Also gives a quick run down of the cool neighbourhoods. The experience of being turned away at a club "rope". Also it talks about how much fun the city is, how beautiful the women are. And last but not least, yeah its fun but very expensive. Thats why you have to leave your wallet at the door, go have a blast!

Records breakin? every year
Place to be is over here
Hello Disney goodbye porn
Times square was reborn
Pretzel smells and hot dog stands
Watching all the sidewalk bands
East side West side all so pretty
Tribecca? what a city!
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Teaming full with trendy places
Lots and lots of pretty faces
She?s got the looks like Marylyn
That girl she?s dressed to kill
No way for you to win
Clubs too full cant let you in
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Riding cabs is not the best
Put your nerves to the test
Lots of places to be and see
Just remember it?s not for free
If you want to play some more
Check your wallet at the door
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
Living in New York City
