This is New York, boy
We wanna hear you talk, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't never gonna walk
Downtown they got some guy
Shot forty-seven people on a PCP high
Uptown they got a team from Queens
Busy beating people through a mean machine, yeow
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it k**s
This is New York, boy
Murder one in court, boy
This is New York, boy
You ain't ever gonna walk
You were a rebel in a drum town, son
Somebody loaded up the plastic gun
I seen that monkey got you shooting in your blood
Using bullets from the dum dum club
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it k**s
You had a shot at at thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it k**s
You can't make this deal son
This means your life is ruined
You can't play with knives
The junkie's still alive
You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it k**s
You had a shot at a thing called love
Like shooting up on pills
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it k**s
You gotta follow that love
You gotta follow that love
Yes, follow that love
Follow that love, yeow
Even if it k**s
Even if it k**s
Hey, even if it k**s
