Big City Beat - THE SYSTEM

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!

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

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

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
