On My New York Shit

NEW YORK!
New York, New York, big city of dreams
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at
Make the money in Manhattan then we spend it in Queens
Everybody's thorough but Brooklyn's the borough
I'm brown, from The Boogie Down
From the Island of Staten, back to the heights uptown
Uptown baby, the Boogie Down baby
Y.O., Long Island, check the sound baby

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
Empire State of Mind got me New York lit (New York lit)
Karats on the Cuban got that 2-4 drip (2-4 drip)
Ain't nothing in the world like a New York chick

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
See us pull up to the club in them 2 door whips (2 door whips)
Yeah, we about to run it on some full court shit (full court shit)
And have the team BALLIN', like the New York Knicks

Now you can tell by my walk that I'm so New York with it
Hoodie with the timbs, and my New York fitted
Taught to go and get it, by that New York spirit
You could lose or win it all, in a New York minute
Talk it like I walk it, spit it how I live it
Even in my losses, I take it how I give it
It cost to be the boss, so I bought off my percentage
Started off in The Bronx, in New York Ima finish
Call up all the critics, let 'em hear and see the latest
Cuban got the Apple back, shiny, full of flavors
Saluted by the bravest, rooted by the natives
The way I'm moving, got 'em saying Cuban you the greatest
Forty Deuce got me lit up like Vegas
Call me Cu-Pac the way I'm spittin' at these haters
Shorty asked to hook her up, I like doing favors
But if I don't feel the vibe, I'm slidin' in my gators

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
Empire State of Mind got me New York lit (New York lit)
Karats on the Cuban got the 2-4 drip (2-4 drip)
Ain't nothing in the world like a New York chick

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
See us pull up to the club in them 2 door whips (2 door whips)
Yeah, we about to run it on some full court shit (full court shit)
Have the team (BALLIN') like the New York Knicks

I'm on fire, I make it sizzle, get it hella hot
That's why I'm in the middle, of the melting pot
A hood dweller with that Goodfella cheddar plot
This money getter got a nose that could smell a cop
I could smell it! From the top of the Empire State
Grab the torch of Liberty and make New York my fire place
Let the fire blaze, burn the entire stage
Smoke it up, should of never opened up the lions gate
Violators get the treatment for beefin'
Leave 'em in that New York strip, whipped and New York stripped
Well done like a New York strip
Tell them they're welcome to take that New York trip
But we can skip all the violence, start none, won't be none
I'd rather have fun, instead of wildin'
Taking pic smilin', see that money pilin' in silence
Chillin' in a villa on an Island

New York, New York, big city of dreams
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at
Making money in Manhattan and we spend it in Queens
Everybody's thorough but Brooklyn's the borough
I'm brown, from The Boogie Down
From the Island of Staten back to the heights uptown
Uptown baby, Boogie Down baby
Y.O., Long Island, check the sound baby

Ayyo Queens!
Go Brooklyn!
Uptown! Uptown!
Staten Island! Boogie Down!
Y.O.!
Strong Island! Strong Island!
Yeah!
It's that New York thing

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
Empire State of Mind got me New York lit (New York lit)
Karats on the Cuban got the 2-4 drip (2-4 drip)
Ain't nothing in the world like a New York chick

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Yeah, I'm on that New York shit
See us pull up to the club in them 2 door whips (2 door whips)
Yeah, we about to run it on some full court shit (full court shit)
