New York, the real New York, I'm outside
I don't live in Miami, I don't live in Colorado
Come to my block and see me, my niggas
All of y'all, y'all know I'll be down there
This is 'Kiss, I'm outside
Always D-Block
I got a hundred guns, a hundred clips
Nigga, I'm from New York (what), New York (yeah)
Ruff Rydin', D-Block and shit
Nigga, fuck what you thought, you thought
And you can't take shit for granted
'Cause life is too short, too short (yeah)
I got a hundred guns, a hundred clips (uh, yeah)
Nigga, I'm from New York (uh)
Born in New York City on a Monday
It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon
All the fat cats in the bad hats doin' me a real big favor
Forgot the fat cats in the bad hats layin' it on real good
When you're down and out in New York City
(We The Best Music)
I am New York
If you ain't with us
Khaled tell 'em the rest
(Another One)
Yeah (DJ Khaled)
I'm B.I.G, Prodigy, DMX and Pun (yeah)
Killin' niggas for fun, nothin' iller than son (nothin')
I'ma gonna be collectin' this money long as it come (uh-huh)
If I'm behind the barrel, then you in front of the gun (you)
I'm the bullet that struct your limbs
I'm white Air Force Ones, I'm construction Timbs
I'ma do whatever it takes, just enough to win (win)
I'm the one that your man told you not to fuck with him (nah)
I'm the single parent household with nothin' in the 'frigerator
Pissy staircases, smell like the incinerator
Grandma in the back, hooked up to the ventilator (uh-huh)
Tryna chip in and see if we can get some dinner later (woo)
In front of the building with a clip full
Garbage pilled up, rats size of pitbulls
Either gettin' money or you aren't (uh-uh)
Couple parolees, couple niggas with warrants (uh-huh)
Couple of hoopties, couple niggas with foreigns (woo)
Making a movie, couple niggas is starring (yeah)
But it's just a segment (uh-huh)
Somebody got somebody's sister pregnant(uh-oh)
Dice game, somebody lose, somebody win (yeah)
Somebody comin home, somebody is goin' in (damn)
Everybody 'bout that action, we don't do talk
You already know what it is, this is New York (this is New York)
Down and out in New York City
Down and out in New York City
That's New York City
That's New York City
New York City
