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, yeoww 

You had a shot at a thing called love 
In the Hollywood hills 
You can't help but follow that love 
Even if it kills 

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 [bad word] town son 
Somebody loaded up the plastic gun 
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 kills 

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 kills 

You can't make a deal son 
Your life [bad word] 
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 kills 

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 kills 

You gotta follow that love 
You gotta follow that love 
Just follow that love 
Follow that love 

Even if it kills 
Even if it kills 
Even if it kills
