New York City Life

Hey man
He's dead
Is Eddy dead
Yo
Ooh, not again

Eddy is dead shot in the head for a dollar
Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife?
Eddy is dead hit in the head by a brother
Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife

She was seventeen when she met will
She only wanted his love
But she got a mean mean mean hustler man
And when her Momma said girl you are too young
Is a wild wild and wild world
Lights of New York City shone so bright

Momma said what are you going to do in the city
And what are you going to do about money
Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
Momma cried what are you going to do in the city girl?
What are you going to do about money
Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame

Because, he will gamble, steal and fight in New York City night
Living in the city so heavy it weighs you down
One of the games that he will play a dollar a time nearly every day
Shooting pool and cheating for a dime, when that shot rang out
When that shot rang out when that shot rang out!

Eddy is dead shot in the head for a dollar
Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife
Eddy is dead hit in the head by a brother brother
Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife
What are you going to do in the city
What are you going to do about money

Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame

Mom cried what are you going to do in the city, girl
And what are you going to do about money
Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame

Shame

Easy to be wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
Easy to be wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
Easy to be wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
Easy to be wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
Easy to be wrapped up in a life of sin and shame
