Lyrics
[strong intro]
(Verse 1)
like a pulverizer I'm poundin pavement
all my life I thought I'd made it
to this city, the greatest and grandest in the world I had wait until 4 decades of my life to finally get a taste
the reddest roundest apple you ever did saw
an urban sprawl I'd never seen it before
From new jersey that metropolitan garden
to not take a bite is a cardinal sin
a San Antonio cowboy I'm clicking them spurs,
to a painful poundin rhythm I just follow the herd
because I'm movin like pulverizer
risin cross this river I'm never surprised in
this freestyle freeform rap written on a whim
a cross country journey from the city of sin
I'm movin like a pulverizer
groovin like a pulverizer
like a pulverizer
(Verse 2)
got only three days to take it all in
jerk chicken got my stomach all punched-in
Statue of Liberty making me climb the stairs
stares from the pedestal because I can't afford the crown, then I get down
(yeah I get down)
I'm hot I'm hot, burnin and can't be touched
spicy Chinese food roastin my ass like a torch
now nothin is so appetizin and now the city got me realizin (it ain't surprisin) that it got me like a pulverizer
poundin me l-l-like a pulverizer
(Dramatic Bridge)
do you see the water? can you see it?
do you see the water? is it farther and farther
do you see the wateeeer? and flows and it flows
I'm movin like a pulverizer
groovin like a pulverizer
like a pulverizer
(Verse 3)
Th-these dogs and rats they pushin they way in, tryin catch me slippin I call em my snake-friends,
(Sssss)
I hit the streets again
9/11 museum swellin tears up in my eyes, vision blurry but I see a new horizon
(clouds coming)
Drip drop rain incoming, rain it's rainin buckets (I'm duckin) but like a busker I'm on I'm on aint no corruptin this game, don't need no luck, when I bust on the scene it's obscene as the last train uptown and midnight, this ain't fight night but you get scarred, spars leaves stars
you won't get far
now you swayin cuz I hit you like PULVERIZER,
arm hard title card and then I'm armed ready for war swarm like drones on the battlefield we hard to kill
(that's a bar)
Then I skip the bars and grab that loaded Philly cheese steak,
against the odds the squad catches the beat, that's what it takes, to make it in these rainy mean streets cause I'll never retreat
(I got the beat)
But every dream's gotta come to an end
throw back sheets openin up my eyes, return to the desert, and rise, cuz this place got me like a pulverizer
like like a pulverizer
I'm movin like a pulverizer
(do you see the water?)
groovin like a pulverizer
(do you see the water?)
like a pulverizer
