And they've enriched the city both like, from, uh, you know
Work ethic and you know the restaurants
And the music and it's really a diverse city

I mean you walk through the Vany Avenue
You know you go through Korean neighborhoods
Old Jewish neighborhoods, Arabic neighborhoods
Uh, Pakistani, Indian neighborhoods, it's incredible

The intensity, I think yeah, development has pushed us away
From other people, you know a lot of times people are rude
Because they want like immediate access or immediate information
You know some things in life can't be immediate
Sometimes you gotta wait and let things happen

People are like, are increasingly rude, like I'll say
Somebody will get in a cab, we'll say
I'll get 'em there in 5 minutes
And they'll say, "Well, it should only take 3"

Now who gives a shit if it takes 5 minutes or 3 minutes, who cares?
At the end of your life nobody's gonna put at your tombstone
"Shit, I got there in a cab in five, in 7 minutes instead of 3"

You know, it doesn't matter and technology has made us
Slaves to time, naw, a lotta people that are really have technical jobs
They're slaves to time and time is the essence of life it seems like
And they're basically like losing it

They're losing the essence of their life because you know
Their life is like just going away and they're not enjoying it
Because they're so engrossed in efficiency and productivity
And shit like that, that it's almost sad

They all come here from somewhere else like seeking their fame
And fortune or the top jobs and they're and career, you know
In their, in their industries, they get very engrossed
And they into these you know these cell phones and computers

And I think the real important things in life are you know
People and your family, I think you don't realize that
A lotta people don't realize that until they're older
I think there's gonna be a backlash against technology

And they've enriched the city both like, from, uh, you know
Work ethic and you know the restaurants
