Generate meaning
1
Uh, yo, yo-yo, y'all
2
Whattup? Whattup
3
It's time man, word, it's time?
4
Straight up, it's time man
5
Aight, set that shit off
6
Set it off then nigga, set it off
7
Broken glass in the hallway, bloodstained floors
8
Neighbors, look at every bag you bring through your doors
9
Lock the top lock, momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator
10
Why not? It might've saved me later from my block
11
N.Y. cops, hookers crawlin' off the stroll, coughin'
12
Stitches in they head, stinkin' and I dread thinkin' they be snitchin'
13
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
14
Parked in the dark, NARC's, where's your heart?
15
Hustlers starve, they bust a U-e I jog
16
To my building, come out later wearin' camouflage
17
See the sergeant and the captain strangle men
18
Niggaz gaspin' for air till they move no more
19
And just stare with dead eyes
20
Tired of riots, shit is quiet
21
Simple-minded fools infiltrate grimy crews
22
Overcrowded cribs, uncles home from bids, sister's pregnant
23
Father's on drugs, moms is smokin', beds is piss-infested
24
Had eight partners growin' up, eight turned to seven
25
Seven turned to six niggaz, got two in heaven
26
Six of us, holdin' it, now it's five rollin' thick
27
The sixth one's parole flipped, five niggaz, went to fo' quick
28
When he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin'
29
Four niggaz still hangin', years passed and slang changin'
30
Three of us now, fourth nigga ain't around
31
We all thought he was real, he did the snake shit
32
Fake shit, beat his ass down, yo his mouth
33
Could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin' clown
34
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
35
And we all goin' out to the death for these ends
36
New York, New York

(N.Y. State Of Mind)

(N.Y. State Of Mind)
39
You heard about it, you see about it
40
You read about it, it's in your papers
41
It's in your daily news
42
New York chronicles, every day
43
The crime rate, the murder rate
44
The money rate, the paper chase, you know what I mean?
45
New York state of mind, baby, check it out
46
I'm at the, gamblin' spot, my hands on a knot
47
New York Yankee cap cover my eyes, stand in one spot
48
I take a nigga dough, send him home, to a shoe box
49
You lost that nigga I put your dollar in the jukebox
50
Hear my favorite song, all these niggaz sing along
51
All the cigarette smoke's cloggin' my lungs
52
Hoodrats flashin' they tongue
53
Young thugs blastin' they gun, we got reputations
54
Bitches and niggaz both on parole or probation
55
Shit is sick, niggaz got gats, army fatigues
56
I got my eyes glued on, whoever walk in the lead
57
'Cause I ain't playin', niggaz'll run up in here and shoot up this shit
58
Stick yo' ass up, niggaz'll find the loot in your kicks
59
Bunch of triple-cross niggaz, just New York niggaz
60
Lift you off your feet when they was just talkin' with you
61
Some of these dudes the Feds be on 'em, you knew 'em for years
62
Be the type when you walk in a pub, they offer you beers
63
That ain't gangsta, niggaz is up North with tatted tears
64
Your name's on the affidavit, you ratted kid
65
Faggot-ass niggaz that be scared to do they bids
66
Fuck you, we run you out of N.Y. you can't live
67
Got your quiet niggaz, that relocated down South
68
Comin' back to floss, then you got the jealous loudmouths
69
All of a sudden we got Crips and Bloods, D.T.'s
70
Runnin' 'round quick to split your mug
71
It's easy to score but it's hard to get the shit off
72
Niggaz fightin' over hundred sales, jump in the car and drive off
73
When the fiend come around the block, happy as hell
74
Niggaz mad 'cause they ain't get a piece of that sale
75
Cutthroat connivers, universal, ghetto survivors
76
Go to any hood that's live and make it liver
77
A lot of niggaz scheamin', some real, some niggaz frontin'
78
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin'
