[00:00.14]Hanif Reads Toni - McKinley Dixon/Hanif
[00:00.88]Lyrics by：Hanif
[00:00.97]Composed by：Toni M/McKinley Dixon/Constantino
[00:02.81]I'm crazy about this city
[00:04.31]City
[00:04.65]City
[00:04.91]City
[00:05.23]City
[00:05.78]Daylight slants like a razor
[00:07.23]Cutting the buildings in half
[00:08.81]In the top half I see looking faces
[00:11.18]And it's not easy to tell which are people
[00:13.39]Which the work of stonemasons
[00:15.76]Below is a shadow where any blasé thing takes place
[00:18.58]Clarinets and lovemaking
[00:20.57]Fists and the voices of sorrowful women
[00:23.47]A city like this one makes
[00:24.83]Me dream tall and feel in on things
[00:27.76]Hep it's the bright steel
[00:29.76]Rocking above the shade below that does it
[00:32.40]When I look over strips of
[00:33.51]Green grass lining the river
[00:35.51]At church steeples
[00:36.61]And into the cream-and-copper
[00:37.66]Halls of apartment buildings
[00:39.17]I'm strong
[00:40.29]Alone yes but top-notch and indestructible
[00:43.82]Like the City in 1926
[00:46.08]When all the wars are over
[00:47.75]And there will never be another one
[00:49.34]The people down there in the shadow are happy about that
[00:51.73]At last at last everything's ahead
[00:54.74]The smart ones say so
[00:56.32]And people listening to them and
[00:57.51]Reading what they write down agree
[00:59.24]Here comes the new
[01:00.39]Look out there goes the sad stuff the bad stuff
[01:03.98]The things-nobody-could-help stuff
[01:05.99]The way everybody was then and there
[01:08.09]Forget that history is over
[01:10.46]You all and everything's ahead at last
[01:12.97]In halls and offices people are sitting around
[01:16.30]Thinking future thoughts
[01:17.57]About projects and bridges and
[01:19.48]Fast-clicking trains underneath
[01:21.47]The AP hires a colored clerk
[01:23.60]Big-legged women with pink kitty tongues
[01:25.65]Roll money into green tubes for later on
[01:28.09]Then they laugh and put their arms around each other
[01:31.12]Regular people corner thieves in alleys for quick retribution
[01:34.42]And if he is stupid and has robbed wrong
[01:37.61]Thieves corner him too
[01:39.15]Hoodlums hand out goodies
[01:40.62]Do their best to stay interesting
[01:42.30]And since they are being watched for excitement
[01:44.55]They pay attention to their clothes and the carving out of insults
[01:48.13]No one wants to be an emergency at Harlem Hospital
[01:51.04]But if the Negro surgeon is visiting
[01:52.93]Pride cuts down the pain
[01:55.05]And although the hair of the first class of colored nurses
[01:58.07]Was declared unseemly for the official Bellevue nurse's cap
[02:01.84]There are thirty-five of them now
[02:03.83]All dedicated and superb in their profession
[02:07.38]Nobody says it's pretty here nobody says it's easy either
[02:13.08]What it is is decisive
[02:16.76]And if you pay attention to the street plans
[02:19.53]All laid out
[02:21.45]The city can't
