(Verse 1)
Woke up in a land where the cold cuts deep,
Statue stands tall, but dreams don’t sleep.
Fresh off the boat, with war in my eyes,
They said "freedom," but it’s built on lies.
Niko came with scars and hope,
But Liberty’s a city that tightens the rope.
From Broker’s blocks to Algonquin lights,
It’s bullets and cash — not wrong or right.
---
(Chorus)
This is Liberty — where the rich play high,
And the poor get buried under steel-gray sky.
No second chances, no mercy run,
Just broken souls chasing the gun.
From mafia ties to back-alley deals,
We lived by the blade, we died on wheels.
This ain’t no paradise, this is grit,
Liberty City — you never quit.
---
(Verse 2)
Roman’s laughs, but debts run deep,
And favors here? They never sleep.
Kill or be killed, that’s how it goes,
Drive-by past the clubs and foes.
Lost friends in the blink of an eye,
Loyalty dies when the money runs dry.
But I kept climbing through pain and fire,
Fuelled by rage, revenge, and wire.
---
(Bridge – cinematic + emotional)
Sometimes I stare out at the skyline glow,
Wondering what I lost to this undertow.
Was it worth it — the blood, the pride?
Or just another name the city denied?
---
(Final Chorus – powerful)
This is Liberty — land of sin,
You don’t get out, you just sink in.
Steel hearts, cold hands, city of glass,
Every deal you make could be your last.
But I fought, I rose, I took that throne,
In the darkest place I called my own.
And if I die, let them know I bled —
For Liberty City… and the lives we led.
