Yo, it doesn't make sense, for you to compete against
6
this New York vibe that gets your whole body tense
7
Calm down, listen to a brother who knows
8
Cause the rappers out here come up with mad different types of flows
9
Switch-up, change-up, yo pull the range up
10
so we can build on this shit, for real that's how we came up
11
Used to ride the subway trains back and forth
12
Now I push an E-Class, four-two-zero of course
13
Still material gains, make one more aware
14
of all the madness and the civil unrest that's out here
15
I doubt there, is anyplace more complex
16
You can get lost in the sauce, New York'll have you vexed
17
Who's next to get served, herbs'll get knocked off
18
Burning flammable rappers, is how I get my rocks off
19
I pop your top off as if you were the bottle
20
then I'll drain all your fluid, you're better off playing lotto
21
Bright lights, big city and the dark alleyways
22
New York we get the money all day everyday
23
"From New York straight talk, America's best"
24
"Yo I'm not new to this I'm true to this" "Word up!"
25
"From New York straight talk... America's best"

27
True if you can make it out here, you can make it anywhere
28
That means a lot of rappers, they should stay away from here
29
cause we still care, about the total artform
30
Niggaz could sell more records but they still can't flip a live forum
31
Plus everybody out here ain't talkin true shit either
32
Mad niggaz is fakin jacks, I don't like them neither
33
But the competition keeps me on point
34
that's why I lamp in the studio composin fresh new joints
35
from the streets, Medina, Manhattan, Staten, P-Lawn
36
The struggle continues, everybody wants to be on
37
The rat race, makes this lifestyle fast paced
38
I've loved it since the days of fat shoelace
39
Screwface me all you want, but I'm used to it
40
I'll never give up rep in New York, I'm true to it
41
From forty-deuce to Queens, back to East New Yi
42
We takin no shorts, and plus we showin no pity
43
Bright lights, big city and the dark alleyways
44
New York, we get the money all day everyday
45
"From New York... straight talk..."
46
"Yo.. I'm.. not.. new.. to.. this"
47
"America's best" "Word up!"
48
"From New York straight talk, America's best"
49
"Yo I'm not new to this I'm true to this" "Word up!"
50

52
You get bent up, sent up creek, without a paddle
53
You wanna battle? Well I live in New York
54
so think twice blink twice now your Roley and Lincoln's gone
55
Don't come into this rap game if you don't belong
56
You won't be on but for a minute anyway
57
You're just a scavenger, you don't live this life everyday
58
Rap is regional, so you can check the demographics
59
Everybody represent where they live, cause shit is drastic
60
confusion, while I'm givin rappers contusions
61
And people don't realize that real hip-hop is losing
62
They wanna shut us down, and I say, "Shut up clown!"
63
Cause New York is too corrupt and too tough to lay down
64
and just quit, cause MC's out here kick serious lyrics
65
And I come to you, with my infinite spirit
66
Not takin nothin from your hood or your set
67
But GangStarr could be a threat, in New York we rep
68
That's where it comes from, that's why you're feelin it
69
So why supress it, I'd rather be revealin it
70
Bright lights, big city and dark alleyways
71
New York we get the money all day everyday
