(Cause sleep is the cousin of death)
15
[Verse 1]
16
Let me tell you what's up with all these New York cats
17
They got too rich and lost they grip on rap
18
They let the country boys take over the soundtrack
19
And blow the Superman kid straight off they back
20
Now everybody know where all the flavor is at
21
And if theres any drama, I'll be handlin' that
22
I gotta switch to singles and walk to fall back
23
Late-night conference calls and all that
24
Not the next Denzel, I'm the first LL
25
I remember where I came from, hot since day one
26
Queens in the building, I spank these children
27
For not seeing that I switch styles like chameleon
28
A lot of wanna-be kings but I'm the real one
29
All these cats playing dumb, they know the deal son
30
Use rap like caps, I will peal one
31
And ya reign is over nigga, here it come
32
[Chorus 2x]
33
New Yoooork!, New Yoooork!
34
The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork!
35
(Cause sleep is the cousin of death)
36
[Verse 2]
37
Listen party people now here's the situation
38
All these cats is lyin' they have huge imaginations
39
Aint freestyling, them niggas is free-basing
40
It's like a epidemic the beats they keep wasting
41
Feels like the 80's again, back to basics
42
Hit 'em with the raw shit, niggas is gon' chase it
43
And get addicted to how I spit it
44
I treat my beat like a blunt, lick and split it
45
My shit's wicked, fiends can't forget it
46
Take it in ya lungs, ya done, ya get lifted
47
Too many debates about what Mister Smith did
48
What can I say nigga? God's god I'm gifted
49
But I won't hit you with the same old money rap
50
Cause most of the money rappers need to give you ya money back
51
I'm just ya man next door, sharp hood cat
52
I want the crown back boy, ya don't deserve that!
53
[Chorus 2x]
54
New Yoooork!, New Yoooork!
55
The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork!
56
(Cause sleep is the cousin of death)
57
[Verse 3]
58
Just when ya thought that I was calmin' down
59
I pulled a George Bush and I bombed the town
60
I got 'em runnin' for cover, ducking, running around
61
Like L's on the radio, "wow how does it sound?"
62
Never been afraid to set it off on these clowns
63
Especially with all the hyped up trash they puttin' out
64
This is for the cats that consistently hold me down
65
Arguing in barbershops from Queens to Up-Town
66
I went to Hollywood and let 'em borrow the crown
67
But they got too cocky, I'm back to check these clowns
68
I dare one of yall to disrespect me now
69
And I'll die before that happens so inject me now
70
And I'm the best period, fuck pound-for-pound
71
When shit gets serious, I rock the crown
72
Matter of fact, where my real niggas at?
73
I got you, New York is on my back
74
Lets Go!
75
[Chorus 2x]
76
New Yoooork!, New Yoooork!
77
The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork!
78
(Cause sleep is the cousin of death)
