[Verse 1]
I got the time, I got my feet
Let's go hit the street
High in the city
High in the city

[Verse 2]
I got my mace and you got your knife
You gotta protect your own life
High in the city
High in the city

[Chorus]
I wanna get high in the city
I wanna stay alive here in the city
I wanna stay high in the city
High in the city
High in the city

[Verse 3]
Let's not walk down Sutton Place
You know everybody there got an Akitas
High in the city
High in the city

[Verse 4]
Don't wanna talk politics today
I feel too good, let me have my way
High in the city
High in the city
[Verse 5]
Watch out for that guy on your right
Seen him on the news last Saturday night
He was high in the city
High in the city

[Verse 6]
Hey, look they're setting fire to that jeep
There's not much you can keep
High in the city
High in the city

[Chorus]
I wanna get high in the city
I wanna stay alive in the city
I wanna stay high in the city
High in the city
High in the city

[Verse 7]
So many people feeling low
And there's only one way to go to
Get high in the city
High in the city

[Verse 8]
Let's grab a pie, let's hit the park
I'll kiss and hug you till it gets dark
Here in the city
Getting high in the city
[Outro]
(High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
(Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
(Hi-ai-ai-ai in the city)
(High in the city)
(High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
(Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
(Hi-ai-ai-ai in the city)
(High in the city)
(High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
(Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
(Hi-ai-ai-ai in the city)
