Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You pack your bags and you move to the city

There's somethin' missin' here at home

You fix your hair and you're lookin' real pretty

It's time to get it out on your own

[Verse 2]

You're always fightin' with your mama and your papa

Your family life is one big pain

When are you, you gonna move to the city?

Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, you gotta move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Time you gotta move

[Verse 3]

You stole your mama's car

And your daddy's plastic credit card

You're sixteen and you can't get a job

You're not goin' very far

You're always ridin' with the teachers and the police

This life is much too insane

When are you, you're gonna move to the city?

Into the city where it all began

[Verse 4]

You gotta move, you gotta move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Time you gotta move

Right to the city where the real men get it

Aw, child, ain't it a pity?

Sometimes it gets too shitty

Come on and hit me

[Verse 5]

You're on the streets and it ain't so pretty

You need to get a new what you please

You do what you gotta do for the money

At times you end up on your knees

[Verse 6]

I'm always buyin' with the locals and the junkies

This city life is one big pain

But you, you had to move to the city

Into the city where it all began

[Verse 7]

You gotta move, you gotta move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Time you gotta move

Oh, right to the city with the real nitty gritty

Aw, child, ain't it a pity?

Sometimes it gets too shitty

Come on and hit me
