African in NY |
| Don’t rock sandals I rock Timberlands/ wear a skully to the side |
| You can see it in the motions when I walk/ I’m an African in New York |
| See me cruising down the FDR/ With a Dime Piece in the ride |
| You can hear it when I talk/ I’m an Africa in New York |
| Ohh Ohh — I’m an alien an illegal alien/ I’m an African in New York |
| Ohh Ohh — I’m an alien and my name’s Napoleon/ I’m an African in New York |
| From the village to the streets/ from feeling the heat/ to feeling chills down |
| my spine from the winter breeze/ trynna make my money stretch like a centipede/ |
| and leave a legacy longer than the Kennedy’s/ I need a green card without the |
| legal fees/ my Senegalese connects said he can get it for me legally/ my cousin |
| wired me money to buy him jeans/ trynna figure out how to get a bank account |
| without an ID/ damn things work differently here/ diamonds come out the ground |
| they get it from Tiffany’s here/ and when you’re down and out/ you don’t get no |
| sympathy here/ got a melody in my head like an epiphany here/ man/ I make a |
| penny double/ I make a dime triple/ quadrupling a quarter I’m a man of many |
| hustles/ I’m making solid connects for the dollars and cents/ so when you meet |
| the God Acknowledge and respect |
| Money makes the man as someone said/ so we hustle to get paid |
| Takes a man to sacrifice for years and smile/ be yourself no matter what they |
| say |
| Be yourself no matter what they say/ be yourself no matter what they say |
| It’s like this yall/ For my brothers on the block/ from the gutter to the top |
| Know we keeping our pockets flooded to the top/ keep our brains sharp from |
| hustling a lot/ open up shop anywhere customers will flock |
