ABCs of New York |
A is for the apple, take a bite and spit it out |
B is for bodega, eatin' on your mama couch |
Low bazooka with a Puerto-Rican chula |
Says she workin' in the city and she gettin' moolah |
C is for the crib, the cats that call you catch |
CBGB’s babies sneakin' blondie through the back |
D is for the downtown kids that’s hittin' licks |
Skater boys in the park tryna fuck some white chicks |
E is for the East Side, Ruff Ryder Ride or Die |
Motorbikes from every side |
Flyin' down the FDR, breakin' Dutches in the car |
G is for the ghetto girl and Rainbow clothes |
Baby hairs and well done toes, single mothers carry those |
Bummy sneakers, what are those? |
Get in goin', golden go |
Hunts Point got the hottest hoes, inner city, tragic woes |
Splattered streets, the bloody holes, shorty dancin' on the pole |
Casually it’s casual b, bloody hands with the anatomy |
Jehovah witness at your door, actin' like nobody home |
TV off, all alone, kick the door in, mama Jonesin' on the phone |
Bata and a doobie on, waiting on her tax return |
Low lives lightin' Ls, pourin' down for ones they love |
Tompkins Square, lower east, Delancey for the deli meats |
You don’t come to C or D |
I’m in Manhattan like I’m Woody Allen |
Jewish, Puerto-Rican and a little bit Italian |
Sittin' on the steps outside the Natural History |
New York fuckin' City and I love the history |
Everything a meltin' pot, every block is fuckin' hot |
83rd the train stop, open cases, old as shorty braces |
Pick you up on warrant squad, now they runnin' faces |
Pick you up by the park, we was voguing by the pier |
Paris burnin', full of Queens, hit the Village every year |
Rollin' now to the rave, Village Voice, six page |
I was diving off the stage, going now, every day |
Stickball in the summer, you know it’s summertime |
Schomburg, eatin' soul food, singin' Doo-Wop every night |
Subway trains goin' by, squad is sittin' St. Marks |
Shootin' up in Tompkins park, know it’s dirty after dark |
Tunnels takin' turns, playin' tag on the curb |
Touchin' on some titties, takin' change out your purse |
Undercover agents I can spot them all away |
Yo, I hate the fuckin' cops, NYPD get away |
Underground are MTA, close my eyes and ride the train |
Back and forth on everyday, anywhere, anyway |
Xerox copied Zines stapled onto poser trees |
Got a show, come and see, New York is the place to be |
Here you go and live your dreams |
Livin' in the city you can’t be a xenophobe |
This the melting pot, and the soup is never cold |
Young lords, young lords, they live inside of me |
I got a problem B, with white supremacy |
Rollin' through my zipcode, One double zero two nine |
ABC’s of New York, and I’ll be doing fine |
