Now I just, I just got home
One evening

And I um, yeah, I was just walking home
And it was really horrible
Snowing

'Cause I lived on riverside drive
In Harlem
In Harlem
In Harlem

I had this dream to become a dancer
In Harlem

~

And I um, nobody was there and nobody
And why nobody was nowhere?
It was really horrible
Snowing

In Harlem
In Harlem

I come to my flat

And I stand in front of the door

And all of a sudden
Somebody points a knife at my throat

~

And then it was like 'whoops', you know
I had only fifty dollars to survive

Because I was so poor

~

In Harlem
In Harlem

I was just actually like thinking about my fifty dollars
All I had to survive

In Harlem

And then I was like 'whoops', you know

Fuck you

~

Now I just, I just got home

Yeah, I was just walking home

Snowing

'Cause I lived on riverside drive

In Harlem
In Harlem

That's great place New York, I mean best bagels and muffins in the world
