What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the city of dreams
2
You get caught up in the schemes
3
And fall apart in the seam tonight
4
That boy he is the bomb, from B.K. to the Bronx
5
And it's the fortunate one who dies
6
(New York, you ready?)
7
He move from LAS to Soho
8
A few blocks for those who don't know
9
Down the hall punched a hole in the wall
10
Bounced out, all are in control
11
Certified son of a gun, learns life lesson 101
12
Don't fly too high on your own supply
13
Get burnt by the sun
14
'Cause in the city of dreams
15
You get caught up in the schemes
16
And fall apart in the seam tonight
17
That boy he is the bomb, from B.K. to the Bronx
18
And it's the fortunate one who dies
19
He was NY's talk of the town
20
Heard out to the LI sound
21
He started datin' models and he figured it out
22
He used to be a nice guy, then he cut that shit out
23
Qualified sex machine
24
No better than a vowed fiend
25
She wanted a ride to the upper east side
26
But he dropped her ass off in Queens
27
'Cause in the city of dreams
28
You get caught up in the schemes
29
And fall apart in the seam tonight
30
That boy would play his guitar
31
Like he was ready for war
32
You ready, K?
33
(And then he'd lift up his voice to the sky)
34
It's your man Nas here
35
Take it straight through New York city
36
Yo, okay, my city, my town, my crown
37
Michael Bloomberg, forget what you heard
38
I'm thought of highly, shoppin' Louie, Gianni
39
Christian LaCrosse shades, what can a boss say?
40
City, bus, the subway, cab, the runway
41
Ski masks and gunplay my past at a young age
42
The illest city on the planet
43
Towers came down, Wall Street barely standin'
44
We Crook Brothers, opposite of Brook Brothers
45
My footsteps of Scatman Crothers
46
It's just generations of style to get
47
Five luminous minutes with me
48
Interviews on how I flip sixty twos
49
This isn't my style, I spit what I'm livin' right now
50
I'm out on the town, gold bars shuttin' it down
51
Bottles stacked from the floor to the ceilin'
52
Then it's a loud fool, fifty third street, right near the Hilton
53
I'm fightin' the feelin' I had when I was lightin' up buildings
54
Now I'm writin' for millions of listeners
55
Critics who just don't get it
56
They try dissin' us, New York full of kings and queens
57
All the rest just mimic us
58
'Cause in the city of dreams
59
You get caught up in the schemes
60
And fall apart in the seam tonight
61
That boy would play his guitar
62
Like he was ready for war
63
And then he'd lift up his voice to the sky
