Paroles de New York Is Killing Me de Gil Scott-Heron, Nas

(Gil Scott-Heron)
Yeah the doctors don't know, but New York was killing me,
Bunch of doctors coming round, they don't know

Yeah Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
Till him to bury my body back home in Jackson, Tennesee
Yeah Lord have mercy, have mercy on me

Yeah I need to be back home, need to be back home,

Born in Chicago but I go home Tennessee
Yeah I Born in Chicago but I ...
