Chorus
(same as first verse. the chord progression basically goes F C G F C E Am G throughout)
New York
When I was a teenager
Lookin' for a label and a little clean danger
Had an appetite for (new adventure)
Open every 'do not enter'
Yeah I was tryin' hard to be somebody
Be the cool kid at the party
Lookin' at me laddy daddy, hottie hottie, hot tamale
Stranger feelin' up my body
Told me I could be somebody
Wait,
Someone stop me, went home and I called my mommy
Hell no, I'm not that girl
I still wanna be the leader of the fucking free world
Yeah I'm a big dreamer
I'm a believer
Just try to tell me no, I'm a go full steam but if
No, can't slow me down
I built this house from the inside out
Block by block from the bottom to the top
I know just who I is
And I know just who I'm not
Chorus
(same as bridge)
So stand up, show em how we do it
Won't back down until I see your
Hands up hit em with the new shit
Stand behind the music
Yeah, stand up, come on let me see your
Front row to the nose bleeders
Hands up, if you really need it
Stand behind the music
No you don't stand a chance
For a second in my world
The same old song, you won't last long
If you can't stand behind the music
