New York, New York
Make way for the nigga on the blocks
All he know is get money, stay fly
Won't pass enough on his way high
All them hating niggas pay him no mind
These fuck niggas they can never faze
But they cut like I skipped them in line
Still fresh to death and all the hoes craze
That you'd think I came straight out to shine
Know that everything's fine
When a bunch of niggas try to hide the beat
But know we only smoking good vine
That's how the DJs know high believers
Bring them uptown to the heights
Most of my niggas move, working legal
Can't hunt them down with that knife
Can't promise you the niggas ever gonna see you
Ever again, your life is finished, living a life of sin
Try again mixing up them nemos with some type of gin
No, you can't live life again so then make it here, it's a blessing
In a big city with them bright lights
But you know what the fuck I'm repping
I'm talking about uptown, we the realest shit, jumping like Skrillex
BX filled with them killings, shout out to my BK niggas
All my Queens niggas who mobbing, big dubs to my niggas on the island
Don't sleep, give a fuck what the time is
Sun up or down, we riding
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
Have the NY in the juice stack
A nigga so shy till I'm shooting back
My lawyer gonna be there like loose tracks
Cops roll up like sushi racks
Out of here like eviction notice
Working cops tryna make their quotas
Smoking weed from Pensacola
I see .. crash sales and clothing lines
Drugs kicking, you drank my wine
White girls doing all them lines
Grab the coke and you know the time
Where I'm from, either hustle or you hating
Get that condom, I just beat you, ain't no fucking conversation
Hit the bodega for som dutches, it ain't broken, don't need no crutches
Smoked a blunt so big you probably fucked up all the roaches
We was willing with no poachers till the industry approached us
Dollars, fuck around, see my name up on them posters
I'm talking about uptown, we the realest shit, jumping like Skrillex
BX filled with them killings, shout out to my BK niggas
All my Queens niggas who mobbing, big dubs to my niggas on the island
Don't sleep, give a fuck what the time is
Sun up or down, we riding
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
New York, New York
Nigga, New York, New York
It's just my block, though, just to let them know
Switch the flow from fast to slow
Been to school from new to old
We still spin knowledge like the Pope
Sold my soul, hell no
For a lil' tail or a lil' bit of dough
Do love things that a lot of niggas don't
Built my own empire, watch it grow
We aim higher, we flier than niggas in the streets
Spitting flames, only the fire when arriving in the hood
I be striving to achieve, you be striving to compete
That's why you can't see me mentally, physically, lyrically
Flow better than me or she, fuck you and fuck your team
Fuck who, I bring my teams, they shoot like Kevin D
Ok, see, I bring the fund to make a lot of niggas wonder
How Black Dave and Perry make this shit so very scary
Motherfucker
