So tell me what is your favorite new excuse?
Think you're shipwrecked in suburbia
But is there concrete in your shoes?
No!

When I heard Jay say "ya can't knock the hustle"
It's just the victory within the struggle
So quit standing with your hand out now

Clearly I'm uncomfortable in this mold they call routine
Don't forget all dreams are portable
And on instincts you should lean

So if this city really makes you feel the way you swear it does
Show just a little more faith in the legs your standing on
Can't take for granted
The privilege you've been handed
You're hearts still beating, hearts still beating
Just keep it going Never stop

You should up and go
Leave this all behind you
There's nothing here you haven't seen
At least three hundred times before

Clearly I'm uncomfortable in this mold they call routine
Don't forget all dreams are portable
And on instincts you should lean

So if this city really makes you feel the way you swear it does
Show just a little more faith in the legs your standing on
Can't take for granted
The privilege you've been handed
You're hearts still beating, hearts still beating
Just keep it going Never stop

WITH EVERY WORD WE SAY
WE'RE MAKING ENEMIES
OF ALL THE ENVIOUS AND UNMOTIVATED

If this city really makes you feel the way you swear it does
Show just a little more faith in the legs your standing on
Can't take for granted
The privilege you've been handed
You're hearts still beating, hearts still beating
Just keep it going Never stop
