4
Really for Queens though

10
New York times
11
Come listen to these New York rhymes
12
A southern nigga with a New York mind
13
In the concrete jungle of Queen trying to be kings
14
Getting to the money of sins by any means
15
As I watch it all, pain out, trying not to stand out
16
Fish out of water, unofficial reporter
17
Appear, life is a bitch I blow a kiss at her daughter
18
In a city with nigga will leave you shit outta order
19
So yeah, you heard the news, disturbing news
20
Shot a brother in the head, thank the lord he ain't dead
21
Was in a coma for months, eyes ain't opened them once
22
My nigga visibally stretch in a mess he's smoking a blunt
23
What could I say, I can't relate to that
24
All I do is pray for that
25
This is city god told me : 'go and make it' at
26
I got a date with destiny, I'm running late for that
27
Grab a paper, hey kid, you gotta pay for that
28

32
They say you can win anywhere
33
If you can win here
34
And you ain't been no where if you ain't been here
35
Ball so hard you aint really in the game man
36
Same place, different face, on the train, man
37
New York, New York
38
[Verse 2: J Cole]
39
Hop on the F train, took the express train
40
Skip that local shit, my vocal sick
41
That's how success came
42
Once kings now we pawns in this chess game
43
Wall Street got black slave blood stains
44
Which means, we built this city
45
And never got scraps while the devil got fat
46
In fact, reparation for niggas and desperation
47
Fuck money, get my kid a real education
48
Blood money spills, had a real revelation
49
Southside make you realize there's still segregation
50
Don't wanna preach I'm just thinking out loud
51
Sometimes I wanna save the world and I be thinking bout how
52
To lead my niggas to paradise
53
Imagine the world, free from pain
54
And we no longer scared the night
55
Far from the crime, the blind leading the blind
56
We gon make it primetime till we dyin'
57

[Verse 3: Bas]
68
How I go from selling reefa and plates
69
Till eating steaks with Cole and playing FIFA with Drake
70
Should've been in the States, property of the Jakes
71
Now I'm plotting on profits and properties on the lake
72
Let me properly immigrate you to it
73
Show you how the heads of states and gangsters do it
74
Them niggas talk a lot of shit but they ain't been through it
75
I done been up in everything, cars you never seen
76
City's you never heard of, from the streets where they murder
77
Police observe us till they reach the verdict
78
Kill 'em all, fucking kill 'em all
79
If you can't send 'em till the pen, send 'em to the morgue
80
Send 'em to the Lord, fuck it, send his broad
81
Hundred shots through the dark but they never hit my heart, nigga
82
Bitch nigga, take a pause
83
Hundred shots through the dark you can never hit my heart
