We're the kings of rock now, nigga, know what I mean?

Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Queens, Queens, Queens, Queensbridge
Make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Yo, from the days of Encore, niggas
Hung around blocks and corner stores
Hirin' bone chains and fantasies, rushin' the door
Niggas from Rosedale, poppin' shells, snatchin' rings
Fly from Shirt Kings from Queensbridge to 118
I had my eyes open, steppin' out into the world
Soul fingers, Olde English 'til I earl, growin' pains
A young kid learned it early how to know the game
USA roller skate rink, mobs and crews with techniques
Clean streets, hustlers, crack cocaine
Gave back by throwin' block parties and basketball games
A lot of cash made on Hollis Ave, fast as change
High rollers was livin' until the task force came
A lot of ghost towns and memories, bad blood and enemies
So many died with the same gangsta pride that entered me
Peace to them old timers, they who taught us
How to stand strong and pass it on to the sons and daughters
We all glow, and I'm proud to be all that I know
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, who I die for
Survive war, how we came a long way in solidarity
Don't let nothin' try to spoil this day
To Run, D&J it's love, and my thugs salute
'Cause real love the only thing that comes above this loot
Carhartt jeans, it makes me think of LL's troops
Let's celebrate, it's Queensday, this one's for you
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens
Some come out they hometown and they never get dough
But three teens from Queens took over the world and never let go
Just regular cats, you know, that just happened to blow
Now synonymous with Hollis, Jay, Darryl and Joe
Ayo, we made it so that others could grow
Look at LL and Tribe Called Quest, Mobb, and Nas Esco'
Ain't takin' credit, but showin' pride, look at us now
Got haters' mouths all open wide, wonderin' how
In some cases the only thing that father and son
Have in common is they love to run
Been the illest since day one, too advanced to ever be caught
Who's more legendary than me? That's what I thought
And if somebody wanna test mine
Then watch this, Peter Piper picked peppers
And see, I knew you knew the next line
And I bet you said it, it's been a minute
I'm still the king of the world, so don't forget it
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, who I die for
This is for my Q dawgs who lit a block like par
We grew up on Olde English, summertime, Roy Wilkins Park
Used to be the shit, why they had to stop?
On the Ave, niggas lootin' all the jewelry spots
Hit the Shirt Kings for a ill airbrush top
That'll match my Cortez Nikes
Niggas gettin' robbed at the back door, comin' out with bags
We used to get our gold fronts from Eddie's Gold Caps
What y'all know about that? I bet the whole Queens do
Around '86 with the Boom Bap Crew
The Young Guns and Lost Boyz made the news
Queensbridge and Astoria too, story is true
So let's party for the borough and shit
And everybody come outside, 'cause it's Queensday, kid
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
Queensday, cash made on Hollis Ave
Q-B-O-R-O, nigga, make it, make it seem easy
