2
Yo, yo-yo, y'all
3
Whattup? Whattup
4
It's time man (Word, it's time?)
5
Straight up, it's time man
6
Aight, set that shit off
7
(Set it off then nigga, set it off)
8
Broken glass in the hallway, bloodstained floors
9
Neighbors, look at every bag you bring through your doors
10
Lock the top lock, momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator
11
Why not? It might've saved later from my block
12
N.Y. cops, hookers crawlin off the stroll, coughin
13
Stitches in they head, stinkin and I dread thinkin they be snitchin
14
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
15
Parked in the dark -- NARC's, where's your heart?
16
Hustlers starvethey bust a U-e I jog
17
To my building -- come out later wearin camouflage
18
See the sergeant and the captain -- strangle men
19
Niggaz gaspin for airtil they move no more and just stare
20
With dead eyes -- 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 flippedfive 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, WHAT?
36
You heard about it, you see about it
37
You read about it, it's in your papers
38
It's in your daily news ("Get money!")
39
New York chronicles, every day
40
The crime rate, the murder rate
41
The money rate, the paper chase, youknowhatImean?
42
New York state of mind baby, check it out
43
I'm at the, gamblin spot, my hands on a knot
44
New York Yankee cap cover my eyes, stand in one spot
45
I take a nigga dough, send him home, to a shoebox
46
You lost that nigga I put your dollar in the jukebox
47
Hear my favorite song, all these niggaz sing along
48
All the cigarette smoke's cloggin my lungs, hoodrats flashin they tongue
49
Young thugs blastin they gun, we got reputations
50
Bitches and niggaz both on parole or probation
51
Shit is sick, niggaz got gats, army fatigues
52
I got my eyes glued on, whoever walk in the lead
53
Cause I ain't playin, niggaz'll run up in here and shoot up this shit
54
Stick yo' ass up, niggaz'll find the loot in your kicks
55
Bunch of triple-cross niggaz, just New York niggaz
56
Lift you off your feet when they was just talkin with you
57
Some of these dudes the Feds be on em, you knew em for years
58
Be the type when you walk in a pub, they offer you beers
59
That ain't gangsta, niggaz is up North with tatted tears
60
Your name's on the affadavit, you ratted kid
61
Faggot-ass niggaz that be scared to do they bids
62
Fuck you, we run you out of N.Y, you can't live
63
Got your quiet niggaz, that relocated down South
64
Comin back to floss, then you got the jealous loudmouths
65
All of a sudden we got Crips and Bloods, D.T.'s
66
Runnin round quick to split your mug, it's ea-sy to score
67
But it's hard to get the shit off
68
Niggaz fightin over hundred sales, jump in the car and drive off
69
When the fiend come around the block, happy as hell
70
Niggaz, mad cause they ain't get a piece of that sale
71
Cutthroat connivers, universal, ghetto survivors
72
Go to any hood that's live and make it liver
73
A lot of niggaz scheamin, some real, some niggaz frontin
74
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin
75
New York, New York
76
New York, New York
