To Those Who Say New York City is Dead .....

FUCK YOU
 
You're the same people who packed up and left
Drop of a hat  
The Karen's and Brad's  
Scurried off to the suburbs in your Range Rover's  
Good riddance
You were only here to suck a wealth tit anyway
 
Sure the city is wounded  
Stores have closed
There's more crime
There's also the vibe
You know the one I'm talking about
Energy that makes your head spin
 
I walk these streets everyday
Different routes  
People still go out and talk on the street
Drink coffee and work their jobs
The upside is the assholes have left
This city is coming back without YOU
