Baila, hoy todo esta bien.
Carmen, English Translation: Dance, today everything is good
Living on a landfill, time at a standstill/Keep it gritty, New York City the anthill/Go hard with my band still/Drop beats like an anvil, no money but my hands filled/Big plans to make something that you can feel, it’s that real/City of steel, chrome and glass, get off your ass, make some cash pay off your gas/Bill, owe three month’s of rent still, land landlord been chill/But I got a good feeling New York City never been the place to get a good deal/How much I gotta pay to get a good meal?/Get what you want with a purchase/Concrete covers where the surface of the Earth is, ain’t gotta a dollar it’s worthless
Chorus: Where’s peace in the belly of the beast? No time to sleep out here on the east
Girly on the train looking perfect, union square spitting verses/Staying out with my friends until 5am, just to find a purpose/Homegirl can’t find where her purse is, tourist trying to figure out what the hurry is/ As a cab drives away from where the curb is- lack of the courteous/Noise disturbances, bottle services- it’s just what we witness/Itching to escape society’s sickness, make it into a business/Riding my bike over the bridge to where the herb is, don’t fuck with random subway searches/Real life is where the dirt is, stay high like where the pigeon perches
Chorus
Pollution in the air you can taste now, cars driving by with the bass wow/In a rap-race picking up my pace now, signed a lease and I got my on space now/The size of a bathroom on a greyhound, not enough space to lay down/So I lay down some great sounds, do another take no time to waste!/Hate it and love it, my basement is flooded, water is nothing I’m floating above it/Fuck it this system is crushing my budget/The system is busted why do I trust it?/Huh… never let it get to my head, living the life of an artist instead/As hard as its been, keeping it zen, be here for ever I’m in it to win!
Chorus
Baila, hoy todo esta bien.
