New York Lyrics by Peter James

2018

Fuck writing for an audience
I'm just gonna state the obvious
It’s therapeutic, the music, when you use it for
Defusing situations, I never thought how much I'd do it
But here we go, another story line
Dividing all my time between leaving them and taking mine
I'm not here to focus on my rhyme style
While I’m just here speaking my mind
Let me take my time
I feel like everything is changing
I need to leave to chase it, or accept that I'm complacent
Facing all the facts in front of me
Something keeps on tugging me, tellin me to take it, the city's starts to summon me
I told her, “tell me not to leave”
And when she said it, my heart believed that was all I need
But when I stopped to think, I understood her hand was forced
Cause I wanted her to feel that same way I felt before
I guess my feelings haven't shortened
My biggest fear is only losing sight of what's important
But when I see her face, I swear I'm instantly reminded
No matter how I'm feeling, she's my happiness behind it
That’s the best I can explain it
I know‍ she feels the pressure, if we try or never take it
My heart is on the line, and she’s too scared that she will break it
But her happiness is everything, regardless if I make it
Have a problem with emotion
I never learned to show it till I turned these page open
Devotion and desire, expires when losing fire
So this year will be the gas to ignite my dreams higher
New York is at my fingertips
Gotta catch a flight in the morning, I swear I'm losing it
Take another shot, I swear I never take the pressure off
The game is lost, the moment we take a break, to regain our thoughts
Follow your heart
You’ll win from the start
Tell me what a dollar costs?
How much are you willing to give to have it all
Money, women, clothes, cars, Is that all you're seeing?
When love is the biggest power, that you swore you never needed
Swore you never needed
Speaking and barely preaching, conceited but undefeated
The reason why we're still breathing
And dreaming but never sleeping
Cause love is what I believe in
You never needed anyone
Till you notice they keep leaving
It's time to say goodbye
I say it’s only a year, but I think that's a lie
I don't know when I'll be back, if I'm gonna be honest
So I'm sorry to my family, but I'm breaking the promise
Taking the conquest, combat heavy
Steady but deadly , no more in debt, we
Accept the fact we ain't edgy. We ready
But she just said she, wish she had never met me
A dagger in the heart, but I'm done with being petty
January 1st, 2018
I felt this year was different, and as strange as it seemed;
I felt my time was coming soon, either music or death
Live the dream or die before they gain their respect
But I ain't holding my breath
I follow every road that I believe with my chest
Invest in the dream, build up and make a regime
Seems like everything is moving, success by any means
