lyrics

When you live in New York City
Take the danger & fun
Some wouldn't have it any other way

On the way to the playground
Meet a loaded gun
You gotta watch yourself each step of the way

When your not playing games
Hanging out with the guys
Smoking crack or shooting dope

Take a look in the eyes of the
Children in the streets
Their mother's long since
given up hope

But not in Pickens

Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens

There's always concerts playing
Something to do up there
You never get bored

The guy behind you's got a knife for you
You gotta fight your way through murderous hoards

You can't plant a tree in cement it won't grow
A Yankee didn't you know
There may be no trees growing out on the streets
I guess they're all in a museum

But not in Pickens

Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens

When you live in New York City
Take the danger & fun
Some wouldn't have it any other way

On the way to the playground
Meet a loaded gun
You gotta watch yourself each step of the way

When your out playing games
Hanging out with the guys
Smoking crack or shooting dope

Take a look in the eyes of the
Children in the streets
Their mother's long since given up hope

But not in Pickens

Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens
Not in Pickens
