| Big city, big city, big city beat!
|
| Rrraah!
|
| I always dreamed of being in the spotlight
|
| I knew, I’d get there in a matter of time
|
| So, I headed downtown, headed for the big time
|
| I left the boy that was me behind
|
| Well, it started with a drum
|
| It was clear that something new had begun
|
| I could hear it in the street
|
| And it led me to the big city beat
|
| I always did like the parties and the fast life
|
| A life of glitter beats a life of crime
|
| Back where I come from, life ain’t worth a thin dime
|
| Scratch your way out or you’ll stay and die
|
| I was born to hear the drum
|
| It was clear that something new had begun
|
| I could hear it in the streets
|
| And it led me to the big city beat
|
| Someone gave that boy a drum
|
| There were hearts to win and fame to be won
|
| We knew he could take the heat
|
| And made it in the big city beat
|
| Big city, big city, big city beat!
|
| Rrraah!
|
| Big city, big city, big city beat!
|
| Rrraah!
|
