| New York City
|
| Welcome to Medina, the Mecca, the melting pot
|
| Where you could be playin' ball or sellin' rocks
|
| Tell the cops, they don’t care
|
| If you starvin', they won’t share
|
| All they’ll say is, «Get your own, mothafucka'»
|
| See the love isn’t unconditional
|
| A demonstration of unification is uncivilized
|
| If you’re ahead of the game, it’s you they epitomize
|
| But all these bright lights, how could you not visualize?
|
| The Apple is rotten, but I love it
|
| We’re in New York
|
| 42nd and Broadway, you’ll see a play
|
| 142nd and Broadway, see the yay
|
| Unwritten rules you follow, it’s no need to say
|
| They take your chips, I ain’t talkin' no Frito Lay
|
| We’re in New York
|
| No Allstate or Geico
|
| But you got that money for lipo'
|
| In the trunk, most of us got the rifle
|
| Get your purse snatched from a psycho, where?
|
| We’re in New York
|
| When I watched the towers fall
|
| But nobody takin' ours, y’all
|
| 20 gunshots, call that a shower, y’all
|
| Money, respect, don’t forget the power, y’all
|
| We’re in New York
|
| Certain beef you can’t call off
|
| So get holes in your body, like a golf course
|
| Yeah, shotty to the brain
|
| See you thought it was a game, but…
|
| We’re in New York City
|
| We’re in New York City
|
| We’re in New York City
|
| When I watched the towers fall
|
| We’re in New York City
|
| Nobody takin' ours, y’all
