Generate meaning
1
Some say you only get so many breaths
2
When they're gone, you'll meet your maker
3
Some people always try to cheat their death
4
But when it comes, you just can't shake it
5
Some people try to make a deal
6
To get a little bit more but they try to take it
7
Some of them end up in debt
8
When their called they try to fake it
9
But one morning the clock will chime
10
And no more birds come flying by
11
And temperature's keep rising higher
12
16 bullets come flying by
13
Ai, yi, yi put your hands up high
14
'Cause you never know
15
How long you're gonna live 'til ya die
16
They hit you with a missile, hit you with a bomb
17
Hit you with the law, try to take your home
18
Break into your house in the middle of the night
19
Track you on a cell phone by satellite
20
Stopped any time you're in your car
21
Search your body, search your home
22
And listenin' in on your phone calls
23
Still no politician got enough balls
24
Lining the people up against the wall
25
When the truth comes out all hell will call
26
And someday Guantanamo will fall
27
Until that day we all will ride on
28
Ai, yi, yi, put your hands up high
29
'Cause you never know
30
How long your gonna live 'til ya die
31
That's life in the city
32
That's life in the city yeah
33
That's life in the city
34
Mad world in the city
35
Some holdin' on, so damn gone
36
Their whole lives livin' with their TV on
37
Then radio play the same 10 songs
38
Set your clock by which ones on
39
An' watching the news try to see what's wrong
40
Find somebody else to blame it on
41
Hope they never come and research you
42
'Cause your grandmother was an immigrant too
43
So if you love somebody better tell them so
44
'Cause you never ever, ever no when they gonna go
45
If they love you back, just give thanks
46
Can't keep love like money in the bank
47
You never know, you never know
48
Its gonna get you
