[SJND2027 PROTOCOL WRD CHALLENGE] Lyrics: Train rumble, phone cameras clicking "Only in New York..." 6 AM, 14th Street, coffee in my hand Yellow stairs, dirty tiles, tryin' just to stand Then I see him, Mr. Whiskers, in the flicker light Pepperoni bigger than his life but he gon' try tonight Everybody got a camera, nobody gon' help He slip, he grip, cheese pull long as my rent check We all laughin' but we feel it in our chest It's just a rat with a slice tryna make it up the road Cheese droppin', heart stoppin', heavy is the load Down the stairs we all stare, takin' pics of the fight Ain't that just a slice of life? Yeah, a slice of life NYC dream, dirty gleam, we all draggin' that slice Tryna get home whole, tryin' not to think twice If he can do it, you can do it, hold that pepperoni tight Ain't that just a slice of life? Lady in tan coat gasp with a latte Dude in beanie live like "no way, no way" Rat don't care 'bout views, he got dinner plans We all that rat, we all that slice in our hands Drag it - left side - right side - don't drop it Cheese stretch - heart stretch - never stop it Everybody watchin', let 'em watch ya That's the city baby, it only gotcha It's just a rat with a slice tryna make it up the road Cheese droppin', heart stoppin', heavy is the load Down the stairs we all stare Ain't that just a slice of life? 14 ST - UNION SQ EXIT - STREET ->
