[Verse 1]
My heart belongs in the city
Fighting my way through the crowd
Heart pounding in my body
Rattling the teeth in my mouth

[Chorus]
Rock steady on the boulevard
In the heatwave
Rockin steady on the boulevard
In the heatwave

[Verse 2]
111th Street
Somebody pisses you off [?]
Church rises on the main drag [?]
Goin to church [?]
Old lady puts on her lipstick
Holy water and sweat
East river gonna rise up
Bury us all under the trash

[Chorus]
Rock steady on the boulevard
In the heatwave
Rockin steady on the boulevard
In the heatwave
Ooooh
In the heatwave
Ooooh
It's a heatwave
[Verse 3]
Sidewalk is dirty, I'm delirious
The flowers risin through the cracks
[?]
Give me heart attack
She puts her lips on a snow cone
Newspaper goes over her bed
She knows exactly what she's doin
Bombs going off in her head

[Chorus]
Rock steady on the boulevard
It's a heatwave
Keep rockin steady on the boulevard
It's a heatwave
Oooh
In the heatwave
Oooh
It's a heatwave
