Tekst piosenki
I was hanging out on Joy’s front steps
It was the summer of love
We were in New York City
Vibe was cool with the radio on I think it was Sly singing
«Que Sera Sera»
My mother kept saying you’re wastin' your life
Sittin' here watching the world go by Why don’t you guys get out there and do something
We did, we became brothers that night
Sharing our lives over a bottle of Ide’s
But that was fine with me There was some kind of riot on the lower
East Side
Some rich man shot some homeless guy
He thought he was being robbed
You can hear him say…
Can you believe this city
Didn’t get much sleep staying out all night
Soul kitchen was hoppin'
We’d sneak in the side and dance
Smash was spinnin' some whack new song
We was all snappin' hard on his moms
But he was cool
That shit was funky
That shit was funky
Teachers were quittin' their jobs by the ton
Every kid in the school was totin' a gun
And they were just too scared
You can hear them say…
Can you believe this city
Ran into C on the E train
Had a brand new copy of Marvin Gaye’s
«Trouble Man» I couldn’t help thinkin' coming home that day
Is it New York City or back to L.A.
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Przesiadywałem na schodach Joy.
It was the summer of love
Byliśmy w Nowym Jorku.
Vibe was cool with the radio on I think it was Sly singing
"Que Sera Sera»
Moja matka powtarzała, że marnujesz swoje życie.
Siedzenie tu i patrzenie, jak przemija świat. może pójdziecie tam i coś zrobicie?
Tak, staliśmy się wtedy braćmi.
Dzielimy nasze życie nad butelką Ide ' s
Ale mi to nie przeszkadzało.
East Side
Jakiś bogacz zastrzelił bezdomnego.
Myślał, że go okradają.
Możesz usłyszeć jak mówi…
Can you believe this city
Nie spałem całą noc poza domem.
Soul kitchen was hoppin'
We ' d sneak in the side and dance
Smash kręcił nową piosenkę
We was all snappin ' hard on his moms
Ale był spoko.
That shit was funky
That shit was funky
Nauczyciele rzucali pracę na tony.
Każdy dzieciak w szkole miał broń.
I byli zbyt przerażeni.
Możesz usłyszeć jak mówią…
Can you believe this city
Wpadłem na C w pociągu E.
Miał nową kopię Marvina Gaye ' a.
"Trouble Man" I couldn 't help thinkin' coming home that day
Czy to Nowy Jork, czy z powrotem do L. A.
