let me know, do i still got time to grow
things ain't always set in stone
with that being, let me know
let me
seems like streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
i hopped in, the cab and
i paid my fair, see
i know my, destination
but I'm just not there
all the streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
i hopped in, the cab and
i paid my fair, see
i know my, destination
but I'm just not there in the streets
in the streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just no there
life's just not fair
seems like streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
i hopped in, the cab and
i paid my fair, see
i know my, destination
but I'm just not there
all the streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
i hopped in, the cab and
i paid my fair, see
i know my, destination
but I'm just not there in the streets
in the streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just no there
life's just not fair
As a full time New Yorker (Yes, Born and Raised in the city) I found such personal meaning in this song. I feel that its one of Kanye West's most underrated and humanistic songs to date.
We can all relate to the passing of time - maybe we feel like we cant keep up. Or we find ourselves rushing and not even know where we are heading; All we know is that were trying to get there fast...just like everyone else.
Trust me I love my City, but its no easy relationship. New York is the boyfriend you cant seem to let go; treats you like crap sometimes, finding yourself exhausted just trying to keep up with the flow of the streets, trying to get ahead only to be set back. There isn't room to breathe. There are millions of people trying to do the same thing, and your depending on your city to have your back. In the winter its cold and full of slush and just as your about to pack your bags and go; somewhere warm, where you can take each moment for what it is....he lures your back with a gorgeous Spring day or an experience that couldn't be had anywhere else in the world.
And the cycle continues....Sigh.
