Concrete, you have raised me
Concrete, you enslave me
Concrete, you have raised me
Concrete, you enslave me
Mother, cradle me tonight
Your dark streets are my pride and joy
Mother, cradle me tonight
Your dark streets are my pride and joy
I am a family, I'm part of her streets
I am a family, I'm all of her things
I am a family, I'm part of her streets
I am a family, I'm all of her things
Sunrise here in the city is mystical
Sunlight, corporate, vivid, is beautiful
Seagulls, new blown, looking for a mouthful
Tramps are on the prowl looking for the bottle
Folks at night in the city get physical
Kicks in the head in the city are horrible
Hospital bed, laying there on critical
This Filipino nurse is ethical
A river in the middle of the town is magical
Coast can't beat, she's a mountain animal
Down to the sea on a peaceful journey
Hell past the docks and the sun's and starry skies
Discounts, caricatures, irretrievable
Yuppies move in and the rent's phenomenal
This Berlin we live in, unbelievable
Folks so deep in the red, it's pitiful
Chais and vino, dates and Cabernet
Roam this town like two-legged cameras
The body of work they left is incredible
Literature and poetry so seminal
Still I love the bones of her
Still I am transfixed by her
I am her offspring
I am part of her history
I am her family
Still I love the bones of her
Still I am transfixed by her
I am her offspring
I am part of her history
I am her family
I am her family
Concrete, you have raised me
Concrete, you enslave me
Concrete, you have raised me
Concrete, you enslave me
I am a family, born and raised
I am a family, shunned and praised
I am a family, white or black
I am a family, smooth or cracked
City
City
City
City
Oh, city
Oh, city
Oh, city
Oh, city
