I took the F train down to 4th and I stepped out through the open door And the city was shining bright, shining bright lights I took the next block, stayed the course, heading crosstown like I'm waging war And that feeling’s running through my veins, through my veins tonight It’s such a shame when you live with the pain and there’s nowhere at all to hide Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner I headed downtown staying on the track, I keep moving, not looking back And this music's playing my head, in my head tonight If I'm standing, shoot me down, just keep swinging, you won't knock me out If I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming big with my head up to the sky It’s such a shame when you live with the pain and there’s nowhere at all to hide Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner Look at these lights so bright look at my face so light I don't ever wanna go back home tonight Look at these lights so bright look at my face so light I don't ever wanna go back Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner
