New York, can take your life
Big Apple makes you pay the price
In New York, yeah, yeah
Walk down the avenue
Might as well be on the moon

Oh, look out
There's trouble in the dark
Look out
The trail of the shark
In New York, yeah, yeah
Oh, look out
They know all the tricks
Look out
Better make it quick

You hear them laughing right behind you
Haha-haha-haha-haha

Harlem desire
Let our children play with toys
And no more guns for little boys
This is my Harlem desire
Just one night of peaceful sleep
And no more fighting in the streets, yeah

In Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Harlem
In Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Harlem
In Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Harlem

Candy is kinda neat
But Sugar Hill is bitter sweet
In New York, yeah, yeah
So you cry out and never leave
The Harlem Road's a one-way street
In New York, yeah, yeah

Oh, look out
There's trouble in the dark
Look out
The trail of the shark
In New York, yeah, yeah
Oh, look out
They know all the tricks
Look out
Better make it quick

You hear them laughing right behind you
Hahahahahahahaha

Harlem desire
Just one night of peaceful sleep
And no more fighting in the streets, yeah
This is my Harlem desire
Close this crazy, let us down
To build a bad upon the town, yeah
