歌词

Yeah, I’mma up at Brooklyn

Now I’m down in Tribeca

Right next to DeNiro

Now I’m down at Brooklyn

Now I’m down at Tribeca

Right next to DeNiro

But I’ll be hood forever

I’m the new Sinatra

And since I made it here

I can make it anywhere

Yeah they love me everywhere

I used to cop in Harlem

All of my dominicanos

Right there up on broad way

Brought me back to that McDonalds

Took it to my stash spot

Five Sixty Stage street

Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons whipping pastry

Cruising down 8th street

Off white Lexus

Driving so slow but BK is from Texas

Me I’m up at Beasty

Home of that boy Biggie

Now I live on billboard

And I brought my boys with me

Say wat up to Ty Ty, still sipping Malta

Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives

Bitch I be spiked out, I can trip a referee

Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from

In New York

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There’s nothing you can’t do

Now you’re in New York

These streets will make you feel brand new

The lights will inspire you

Let’s here it for New York, New York, New York

I made you hot bitch

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game

**** I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can

You should know I bleed Blue, but I ain’t a Crip though

But I got a gang of i-ggas walking with my click though

Welcome to the melting pot

Corners where we selling rocks

Africa bambaataa shit

Home of the hip hop

Yellow cap, gypsy cap, dollar cab, holla back

For foreigners it ain’t fitted they forgot how to act

8 million stories out there and their naked

Cities is a pity half of y’all won’t make it

Me I gotta plug Special Ed “I got it made”

If Jesus paying LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade

3 dice cee-lo

3 card Marley

Labor day parade, rest in peace Bob Marley

Statue of Liberty, long live the World trade

Long live the king yo
