New York Times |
This for all my niggas in the city |
But this shit really for Queens though |
Really for Queens though, ya know? |
Big city of dreams, motivated by schemes |
Getting money regiment with my get money regime |
Nah mean? |
yeah |
New York times, come listen to these New York rhymes |
A southern nigga with a New York mind |
In the concrete jungle of Queens trying to be Kings |
Getting to the money, it seems, by any means |
As I, watch it all pan out, try not to stand out |
Fish out of water, yet an official reporter |
Up here, life is a bitch, I blow a kiss at her daughter |
In the city where niggas will leave you shit outta order |
So yeah, you heard the news, disturbing news |
Shot a brother in the head, thank the lord he ain’t dead |
Was in a coma for months, eyes ain’t opened them once |
My nigga visibly stressing, a mess, he smoking his blunt |
What could I say, I can’t relate to that, all I do is pray for that |
This the city of God told me «Go and make it"at |
I got a date with destiny, I’m running late for that |
Grab a paper, hey kid, you gotta pay for that |
The New York Times, yeah |
The New York Times |
Extra, extra, read all about it |
They say you can win anywhere if you can win here |
And you ain’t been no where if you ain’t been here |
Hustle hard, yeah it really ain’t a game mane |
Same places, different faces, on the train mane |
New York, New York |
Hop on the F train, took the express train |
Skip that local shit, my vocals sick, that’s how success came |
Once kings now we pawns in this chess game |
Wall street got black slave blood stains |
Which means, we built this city |
And never got scraps while the devil got fat |
In fact, reparations for niggas in desperation |
Fuck money, get my kid a real education |
Blood money spills, had a real revelation |
Southside make you realize there’s still segregation |
Don’t wanna preach I’m just thinking out loud |
Sometimes I wanna save the world and I be thinking bout how |
My motive, to lead my niggas to paradise |
Imagine the world, free from pain |
And we no longer scared at night |
Far from the crime, the blind leading the blind |
We don’t make it primetime till we dyin' |
The New York Times |
The New York Times, yeah |
The New York Times |
Extra, extra, read all about it |
They say you can win anywhere if you can win here |
And you ain’t been no where if you ain’t been here |
Hustle hard, yeah it really ain’t a game mane |
Same places, different faces, on the train mane |
New York, New York |
How I go from selling reefer and plates |
Till eating steaks with Cole and playing FIFA with Drake |
Should’ve been in the States, property of the Jakes |
Now I’m plotting on profits and properties on the lake |
Let me properly integrate you to it |
Show you how the heads of states and gangsters do it |
Them niggas talk a lot of shit but they ain’t been through it |
I done been up in everything, cars you never seen |
Cities you never heard of, from the streets where they murder |
Police observe us till they reach the verdict |
Kill 'em all, fucking kill 'em all |
If you can’t send 'em to the pen, send 'em to the morgue |
Send 'em to the Lord, fuck it, send his broad |
Hundred shots through the dark but they never hit my heart |
Nigga, bitch nigga, take a pause |
Hundred shots through the dark you can never hit my heart |
The New York Times |
The New York Times, yeah |
The New York Times |
Extra, extra, read all about it |
They say you can win anywhere if you can win here |
And you ain’t been no where if you ain’t been here |
Hustle hard, yeah it really ain’t a game mane |
Same places, different faces, on the train mane |
New York, New York |
