[Intro]
What you're tryna do is be faithful to your perceptions
Um, transmit them as faithfully as you can
You know, I just say these sentences again and again in my head until they sound right
So it’s euphony, sometimes it's harsh and [?], but
It's just matching up the perception with the words in a kind of, semi-musical way that it’s [?]

[Chorus]
I be up in New York (I be up in New York, New York, New York)
Sunshine on my own (Sunshine on my own, New York, New York)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, just tryna get my mind in the zone (Tryna get my mind in the zone, New York, New York)
I be up in New York (I be up in New York)
Sunshinе on my own (Sunshine on my own)
Alright, alright, alright, alright just tryna get my mind in the zonе (Tryna get my mind in the zone)

[Verse 1]
Man, it's too loud in this coffee shop
I put my headphones on, sit down, pull out my chair
I don't know where to start, this a beat from 88-Keys
Marlon gave me this key to put on for my city and pave the way
But I can't focus, let me just get into my zone and flow, it's so unfair
I been at this craft for years, and to me, this rap is deep
Like this beat, I wanna do it justice
But these unclear thoughts interfere what I'm nearin'
And nobody in this game really knows why I'm here (Why I’m here)
Grown up enclosed by Cantonese culture
Let alone, at six months old my fam already left New York to Tokyo
Put me in a local school, but thank God for these broken rules of how we supposed to live
Taught me how to pour my soul into this music, prayin’
Hopin' it’ll point to bliss
How 'bout this, with my words, let's see who I can touch right here
Take another sip of my coffee, think I got somethin' here, okay
