Growing up over in the Midwest
Where a Brooklyn 2 is a small town 10
And between me and you I wanna know when
I can escape the place that I was raised
It's done me good but its starting to chaff
I need brand new people in a brand new place
To obtain the life I chase
I wanna be New York City cool
Or an LA babe with my hair dyed
I wanna be New York City cool
Wear my sunglasses inside
I wanna be New York City cool
You can tell who I am just by scrolling through my feed
I wanna be, yeah
New York City
New York City cool
I can't sleep and neither does the street
Everywhere you go is a place to be
I feel bad for my mom cause she's so worried
That I'll be such a small fish in a very big pond
I could scream from the top of my lungs and no one would respond
But it's the risk I'm going to take, to obtain the life I crave
I wanna be New York City cool
Or an LA babe with my hair dyed
I wanna be New York City cool
Wear my sunglasses inside
I wanna be New York City cool
You can tell who I am just by scrolling through my feed
I wanna be, yeah
New York City
New York City cool
