They boarded up my favorite bar The Frenchman lost his restaurant And the secret alleys were rearranged I woke one day and it had changed
My city's gone My city's gone I lost another one
On forty-three, my heart once beat On forty-five, I came alive And there was a spirit, so young and free It spoke to you, it spoke to me
(Chorus – Kanye West) My city's gone, my city, oh oh) Oh no, my city's gone, my city's gone) I lost another one
I met a man who coughed and swore That it had been changing since it was born That it was I and nothing more From twenty three to thirty-four
My city's gone My city's gone And I have to go My city's gone
(Outro) I still found me back in the mall I will not decline Still feeling lost and nothing more I feel lost in time Does anybody happen to know, happen to know Way after I'm Still feeling lost and manageable I say nothing's right Tell it all from the heart I'm sitting out at the bar Tell it all that I'm making my way
