Where do I start?
Let's see what they wanna hear
Let me see where I start at
Hood cats a part of where it started at
We hustle hard to keep the sharks fed
For the score I go to war like a jarhead
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
ย
Got a lot of heart, best part is I'm clever too
Hand skills, hawk work, gun play, whatever do
Ecstasy, oxy, Vicodin powder
Arry, haze, diesel, sour
Dust juice, loosies, turbans, kufis
Handguns is petite, the shotties is doofy
Tellin' and it's not nice, lot of niggas got life
Everything is good in my bank except cock dice
Harlems, Jordans, the hood can't afford 'em
So they bootleg them, now everybody sport 'em
Dorms, cells, packages, mail
Warrants, bails, everything's real now
Let me see where I start at
Hood cats a part of where it started at
We hustle hard to keep the sharks fed
For the score I go to war like a jarhead
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
ย
All I got is my word and my nuts
Man I got Brooklyn in my balls
So you can see Bed-Stuy if you lookin' in my drawers
Always talkin' 'bout you ballin', look you on the ball
Word on the streets, niggas ready to put you on the wall
You just a leg shooter, you aim your gun low
I shoot my TEC high, I keep a high tech like the producer
Pap grip the desi 'til that clip is empty
Man I have Black buried in the cemetery
Go 'head get your fetty, but you better tell homes
Messin' with me'll get Black buried like a cell phone
Punks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Call it New York 'cause we keep reinventin'
Let me see where I start at
Hood cats a part of where it started at
We hustle hard to keep the sharks fed
For the score I go to war like a jarhead
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York

Who flipped the vocabulary? Shattered my adversaries
Bustin' like a capillary, roaches and rats on every corner
Winter's warmer but New York is used to that already
Manhattan built on cemeteries where the Blacks was buried
I take the Staten Ferry, I walk to Broadway
I talk to chicks along the way with John Forte
Used to do this all day, burnin' in the project hallways
Discussin' strategies in the court case
I rock The North Face, I'm cold like winter
I'm from Brooklyn like the D-Sep and Lo-Life niggas were
Fuck the talkin', this is New York
Think we your war but all things considered we your kings, what?
Let me see where I start at
Hood cats a part of where it started at
We hustle hard to keep the sharks fed
For the score I go to war like a jarhead
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
My nigga, my nigga what up?
Check, you did it again nigga
Word up, I love it
Ayo yo, I rhyme for the streets
Broke niggas rap when they feast
So angry as hell, the yell from the beast
Wise killers up in New York who lay for a piece
Crime action get you trapped by the chiefs
No peace, see me prowlin', half the hood stylin'
Good talent, most of us fell off from drug wars
Tryin' to re-up, the law wildin'
Can't get no rest, the best is on stress
Palin' schemin' on somethin' green with eagles on it
Chef found it while I take a trip back
My first little pack had the open doors
No time for broads, I was scopin' crack
Baggin' like a newborn, barely profit
Beat pop off, we carry Tommy guns and smoke trees in gat pockets
Pilgrimage life, real life with no money and no wife
I had this white girl who worked for me wipin' pipe
Livin' by the sword, a hundred niggas daily who get all aboard
And kill for some paper, live on them acres bald
Let me see where I start at
Hood cats a part of where it started at
We hustle hard to keep the sharks fed
For the score I go to war like a jarhead
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
