madonna still got it goin on
i didnt want her to be right because this city has grown on me
but then i realized shes right
she holds nyc to a higher standard
she musta known it when ppl kept it real
fo real
lately i feel like nyc has become a land of people who are in love with the idea of nyc
thats it
nothing else
just the coolness of nyc
the only substance these people have are their idea of whatever is in nyc is cool, modern, and worth the money
lately, its not
if its gonna have the cache, its gotta earn it
maybe i dont run in the right circles, but i aint seen the uniqueness, creativity, innovation that i feel must have created the idea of nyc
i still love it cause its got more of that than any other place ive been
but lately, i feel like its filled with old money rich folk, who do the arts cause there aint no risk in it for em, or young money rich folk (investment bankers) who come hear because now they have enough money to be the big cheese in a cool city
i'd love to be an artiste
but i gotta keep it real as an effin IT guy in a hospital
fuck it
i could make that cool
i'd be fuckin god if i could make that cool
either case, i'd keep it real trying to make that cool
or atleast be cool despite my bland profession
which i actually like btw...
whatever,
life is life
tryin to make a dolla.
