Cut Throat City

I live in New York Supposely the best city in the world Tourists travel from all over just to visit the big apple But they don't know what the locals do It's a cut throat city and you have to be strong or you'll get frozen solid and than crushed A place where dreams can be made but mostly likely are broken The rich dominate over the poor and though were supposed to be so diverse racism and biases still occur The city of the Bright lights the one with the motto " the city that never sleep" It really means while you're sleeping someone else is working harder than you To stay on your grind means to never close your eyes were more about getting capital cause living here is hard It's all about the flash and the outer appearance Money spent to look good no matter how your feeling because people analyze and make assumptions and throw swords deep like Hercules to wound you The education system in New York is tougher than any other place you'll probably find You have to be on top of your game or you will get left behind I live in New York Supposely the best city in the world and even though it has it's problems I wouldn't live anywhere else
