New York City

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

I've written 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 she got that money for lipo'

In the trunk, most of us got the rifle

Get your purse snatched from a psycho in

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

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...
