NEW YORK New York from the way that I walk On the asphalt To the place of my birth On the passport No place on this earth Rather be at more That doesn’t have palm trees and breeze vast shore That’s all that could distract me from the bright lights my Type of city so hyped they named it twice I Like the feeling of chillen in white nikes On the block while I watch women on these hot bikes I Love New York Icee man shaving the block All the hustlers on the corner Stash it in socks Young love girl telling the boy to stop Gotta resist their first kiss Give him a shot Running around all the boroughs to hustle a knot So I can meet up with my friends in the village to shop BBMing all my women friend askin whats hot smoking out in Union Square waiting for something to pop I love New York forever and ever I aint never going nowhere No other place can compare I smell success in the air The lights the flash and the glare It’s such a trip pay your fare Your problems nobody cares There’s no way you can prepare Before you know you are here New York The empire state when we move at a fast pace Keep it moving, attitude when we pass jake Don’t fake call you out right in your face Rat race stay on your toes to feel safe Belly aches make case for a mans haste our nature tastemakers what the world makes As creators we inspire innovators And for the style wild in so many different flavors I love New York You gotta deal with the haters But outta town make it known that we neighbors Jam packed elevators no acres Ex conns coming home from the cages New rivals auditioning for agents Stay patient make it big on some play shit Broadway dogs barking in the hallway New york New York forever and always I love New York forever and ever I aint never going nowhere No other place can compare I smell success in the air The lights the flash and the glare It’s such a trip pay your fare Your problems nobody cares There’s no way you can prepare Before you know you are here New York Infatuated by the big dream Get excited you’re invited to the big scheme Glamour and glitz the shit when you’re in the scene When you aint then you wait read in between Dotted lines will define all the current lanes So I suggest at this time Use your brain Easy to quit shit it’ll make you go insane I am addicted masochist for reoccurring pain I love New York Still the same when I land In this land From returning plane Yo im the man In demand And I am what I am it’s in my veins Get excited from the vibrance The burning flame Reignited by the lights and Urgent aim Im inspired by the livest current game Whether you find me on a bus cab or a train Im still focused till the whole way know the name I love New York forever and ever I aint never going nowhere No other place can compare I smell success in the air The lights the flash and the glare It’s such a trip pay your fare Your problems nobody cares There’s no way you can prepare Before you know you are here New York forever and ever I aint never going nowhere No other place can compare I smell success in the air The lights the flash and the glare It’s such a trip pay your fare Your problems nobody cares There’s no way you can prepare Before you know you are here New York
