Free Cee the Empire Great

THE EMPIRE GREAT I still walk in a New York kind of way Although I now live a thousand miles from there I still dream of a New York kind of day Where the sun may shine but the air is never clear The only way I cross a street is to jay-walk That’s the way New York raised me to be I still hear the sidewalks of Broadway talk And I wonder if New York misses me I used to wash my clothes in Washington Square And change my mind in China town When I was in Stuyvesant Town people would stare And quickly turn my smile upside down The sultry subway was a subjective affair While the buses were busy being on time Mass-transit and I made an appropriate pair And I miss everything about New York except for its crime I still stroll the streets with purpose and speed Only now I do it to make Floridians mad New York used to fulfill my every need And hopefully, for me, Florida is only a passing fad © 2008…..free cee!
