[Intro]
It's take a risk and move my fist
How  low?
A  stubborn lick to put a twist
On a modern day New York show
He lost all feeling
Blood  flowed down his nose

[Verse 1]
Just  so you know
I don't take no for an answer, for an answer
Just  so you know, just so you know
I'm not going home without my money

[Pre-Chorus]

A fight breaks out among the crowd
They're screaming now
A  swift right hook to his jaw
And he's on the ground
Those shiny lights and those crowded streets
They heal me

[Chorus]
Not that fictional in
Modern day New York, modern day New York
Something that you're told in
Modern day New York, modern day New York
It's time we saw the light
[Verse 2]
Just so you know
I'd never take no
The big bright lights don't phase me at all
Just so you know, just so you know
I'm not going home without my money

[Pre-Chorus]
A fight breaks out among the crowd
I'm ready now
A swift right hook to his jaw
And he's on the ground
Those shiny lights and those crowded streets
They heal me

[Bridge]
It's take a risk and move my fist
How low?
A stubborn lick to put a twist
On a modern New York show
He lost all feeling
Blood flowed down his nose
His nose

[Chorus]
Something that you're told
These streets ain't made of gold in a
Modern day New York
(Modern day New York)
Modern day New York
I'm here until I'm old
Although you can't get old in a
Modern day New York
(Modern day New York)
Modern day New York
Its not a picture show at all in
Modern day New York
