| New York, New York, the city that never sleeps
|
| Bodies, covered in white sheets, are layin in the streets
|
| Shit gets deep, as we creep up the block by the kids slangin rocks
|
| And holdin Glocks stolen from the cops to get props
|
| You gotta split a top, on the regular
|
| Or get plugged in your mug, from a slug, by your competitor
|
| Gunshots echo throughout the city like thunder, no wonder
|
| Another brother six feet under
|
| You know it ain’t no jokin when the streetlights are broken
|
| So keep your eyes open, or get ready for a, smokin 'loc
|
| Step out of line, I hope you got your nine gun son
|
| The Smith and Wess', you better press 9−1-1 (word up)
|
| Or make a run for it there’s too many to tackle
|
| The Big Apple’ll put your ass on ice like a Snapple
|
| So even though I rap I gots to stay strapped
|
| Niggas act up I back up (PI-YAH)
|
| I bust a cap inside your fuckin hat
|
| Don’t even pose with them hoes, the swinger that you chose
|
| Just might be down with the foes, only the shadow knows
|
| And ain’t no lollipop, lollipop over here only the shottie pops
|
| (BOOM) Now just sit back and watch the bodies drop
|
| The younger gunmen got the bigger niggas runnin
|
| The shorties (what) the shorties (what) the shorties are comin
|
| To push a nigga wig back, and leave his ass flat on his back
|
| The motherfuckin ghetto knows, and it’s like that
|
| Yo, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| (And aiyyo, what you don’t know, believe the ghetto knows)
|
| Today’s headlines, another nigga dead
|
| Six to the body and fo' to the head
|
| Followed the red bitch in the bed full of lead
|
| A drug-related case and now the place is filled with Feds
|
| Ramshacked the shack, disclouse 'bout two kilos of dope
|
| Two ounces of coke’s caught in the pocket of his coat
|
| So, another brother caught the ultimate surprise
|
| With blown out brains, to drop stains on his eyes
|
| Dazed as I sit back and watch the channel two news
|
| Watchin his family goin through all the boo-hoos
|
| You lose, like an Ill Street, the Blues are gettin deeper
|
| Nothin left in the room except for him, the Grim Reaper
|
| Police will take a few snapshots, scoop up some blooddrops
|
| Pull out a file on a juvenile child of mugshots
|
| The cops knew he fell victim to laws on the street
|
| So they just, pull out the white sheets, to cover up the dead meat
|
| Seal off the area with yellow tape, draw the white
|
| Chalk around the body now the party has to motivate
|
| One more outlaw, was murdered on the scene for the green
|
| Died at the age of seventeen
|
| Yo, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| (And aiyyo, what you don’t know, believe the ghetto knows)
|
| Strollin the concrete, packin my heat, walkin the backstreets
|
| I seen niggas pull up, peepin me out the side a black Jeep
|
| Six feet deep, that’s where I’m goin if I’m slippin
|
| Steady cockin my shit cause I already got the clip in
|
| Now who’s the first nigga to run up, here they come up
|
| The block hardrocks with Glocks rollin holdin they guns up
|
| I buck, I buck, and then I struck one in the chest
|
| Nigga shoulda wore a vest but now his ass is put to rest
|
| But now I got three mo' niggas, pullin triggers
|
| Strays are ricochetin off the bricks, zigga zigga
|
| But who got the biggest strap? |
| Who’s bustin bigger caps?
|
| My BOOM BOOM BOOMS against they PAP PAP PAPS
|
| No haps, G. Rap ain’t goin out like a sucker
|
| I reloaded the shot and dropped another motherfucker
|
| Quick, I duck and shit to dodge the bullets comin at me
|
| Cause I won’t be too happy with a slug inside my nappy
|
| Two more niggas left, they scared to death, but I’m leary
|
| Shit gets kinda scary when I got bulletholes near me
|
| I went between two cars, lettin off the quarter pound
|
| I see another body fallin down to the ground
|
| Quick I run up on him cause I don’t think that he’s dead
|
| Standin over his ass I put two more inside his head
|
| That’s three niggas down, only got one nigga to go
|
| I gots to send his ass to the gravedigger so
|
| I lay low in the cut and wait for moneygrip to slip up
|
| Nearly shot my whole clip up, I got one more slug to rip up
|
| Look over by the GS, see his ass stickin his head out
|
| Boom, let the lead out, blew a piece of his brain dead out
|
| The back of his head, now he’s dead, because he fell face down
|
| Right on the motherfuckin streets that he dwelled
|
| Yo, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| (And aiyyo, what you don’t know, believe the ghetto knows) |
