B.o.B - New York, New York [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
This is the finish, my friend, this is the end
It's a revolution, it's just civilian revenge
There's no need to move or adjust your television
Whenever an era dies, another era begins
These American fights, these American wars
These American stripes, these American stars
But these American cages have American bars
We hunger for truth, so we headed for y'all
Towers are crumbling, bridges are falling
Limits are faded the normal is boring
Looking at time move progressively foward
Look at the days just, just vanish before me
You wanted a Benz but you couldn't afford it
Now you would kill to put your foot in a Taurus
It's differant from the madness, and never look backwards
But this is a crisis, prepare for disaster

[Hook]
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
New York

[Verse 2]
Breaker breaker 9, breaker breaker 1, 9
Could you please get a operator on the phone line?
This is not a riot, it's way much more than that
These people are dying, we are under attack
Let me call you back, let me get my strap
Because we ain't taking shit, so therefore we'll fight them back
We ain't waitin on the line for a 9, 1, 1, 9, 9, whatever man, I ain't got time for
All this nonsense, enemy responses
Ain't a dial tone in a home on the continent
Got me in these bandages, this jungle that's up under me
Man I swear they sleeping, they unconscious, or they slumberin
So we break the peace to get a piece of what we want to get
Act like we new to this, like we gon' rummage it
Let them know we run this shit, and let them know this how you feel the way your country is
Now look how beautiful destruction is
POW

[Hook]
