| If you was born in New York City let me hear say «You know that»!
|
| You know that!
|
| Hey yo, once upon a rhyme where the scenery sets, you see stress
|
| Streets a matter of life and death, no regrets
|
| Life’s a test, strife, wit special effects
|
| Neighborhood’s full of reps, cities are projects
|
| Where the young cadets get stripes from the vets
|
| And comrades quest to be the next, to fitness
|
| Collect debts and select bets with death threats
|
| Object, chedder, better your total net
|
| Where trends are set from ways to express the outfits
|
| Friends get wet tryin' to make ends connect
|
| Avenues to check, boulevards to sweat
|
| The smell of gun smoke more common than cigarettes
|
| We got clicks for wreck
|
| We like Pits for pets
|
| We got Giants and Jets, the Knicks, Yanks and Mets
|
| We like much respect and sex extra wet
|
| And high-tech dialect you ain’t catch yet
|
| The Bronx,
|
| Ya out there?
|
| No doubt
|
| Brooklyn,
|
| Ya out there?
|
| Hey yo, we got blocks and glocks with
|
| Big shots with big knots and big props
|
| Yo this is where the bullshit stops
|
| Where herbs get got, if you snitch you get shot
|
| We get down and leave the town in a state of shock
|
| We got dangerous hang out spots and slick cops
|
| Place called Riker’s Island where kids get locked
|
| A lotta gear to rock with blocks of clothes shops
|
| Styles are top notch, this is the place to watch
|
| So bust the box, the radio station is Hot
|
| Ease your mind staring at skylines from rooftops
|
| Flip scripts for chips, and new whips off the lot
|
| Quick to call a shot, politic with thick plots
|
| And the Garden of Eden against the sea that we got
|
| To make sure the core of the Big Apple don’t rot
|
| Where seeing’s believing, we be achieving a lot
|
| Since disc jocks created hip hop, check it out!
|
| Queens, ya out there?
|
| No doubt
|
| Manhattan?
|
| No doubt
|
| New York City, Staten Island
|
| New York, New York, Long Island
|
| New York, ya out there?
|
| Hey yo, we got five boroughs of ghettos
|
| With many places to meet, you get lost in city streets
|
| The city that never sleeps
|
| Mecca, Medina the population increase
|
| The desert and the oasis, New York, the far East
|
| With Gods and Sheiks, pretty Amazons for weeks
|
| Player dons that fleece the family’s black sheep
|
| Icons that teach that we all act unique
|
| We got stats to reach so we all have to eat
|
| A mass of peeps, with they own masterpiece
|
| The crafts elite, we going past the beat
|
| The latest technique no other place get as deep
|
| Who parks release some of the worlds greatest athletes
|
| DJ’s and MC’s and graffiti artists
|
| Who use walls and subway trains for marquees
|
| We go back to B-boys, break dancing, break beats
|
| And it’ll never cease, and on that note, we say peace |
