About

“NYC Observation” is about people in the upper middle class wanting even more than they have, while not noticing or taking into account the homeless people that are lining cities’ streets. (New york being a prime example of this)

NYC Observation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living in proximity of a dollar
Trying to get ahead of the pack
But you never learned, you never got it did ya?
How to glide past people sleeping on the sidewalk
Dreaming about stepping over something to bite on
Feeling pretty weak and you need something to rely on

Yeah, it smells like burning plastic but it comes from a rock
Now, shelter curfew is passed, looks like tonight you got locked out
Good a place as any to lay low and stay clocked out
Some things you just can’t ignore
