Lyric Uptown
Walkin through the fog on a cold and cloudy night
Lookin through the smog that surrounds the mornin light
The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life
I don t deserve the hand I m dealt, a flush in spades of strife
I ve grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So I m rounding up the broken me and headin on out the door
Without no lag I m packin my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound
Got my bag of many frowns and I m takin it on uptown
Big city lights
Funkier nights
Happier days
Goin my way
It should be right
But I m still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin on
I m through with aggravation
Don t deserve the degradation
I m putting all the negatives down
To hop the train that s feedom bound for uptown
Got my bag of many frowns and I m takin it on uptown
Lookin through the smog that surrounds the mornin light
The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life
I don t deserve the hand I m dealt, a flush in spades of strife
I ve grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So I m rounding up the broken me and headin on out the door
Without no lag I m packin my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound
Got my bag of many frowns and I m takin it on uptown
Big city lights
Funkier nights
Happier days
Goin my way
It should be right
But I m still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin on
I m through with aggravation
Don t deserve the degradation
I m putting all the negatives down
To hop the train that s feedom bound for uptown
Got my bag of many frowns and I m takin it on uptown
