[Verse 1: Jadakiss] Yo, the hammer and the muzzle came together All I did was hold on to the pieces 'til the puzzle came together Before it all got hype I was in the core of the Apple before it got ripe So I ain't gotta act like I'm on top of, or in front of them If I'm not the best, dog, then I'm one of them Listen, I'm a different kind of boss I'm cut from a different kind of cloth These niggas is different kind of soft Everybody know it all Nobody followin' protocol The money's only good 'til you blow it all Stacking ever since Guliani knocked John Gotti (what?) So now he's running for president It's a shame what the game's became But the truth is There's really nobody to blame But the music Lets give it a minute With no wack gimmicks Just hard beats and rhymes To blow breath back in it [Chorus 2: Jadakiss & (DJ Khaled)] One's for the trouble Two's for the show Three's for the bass and that limelight glow I know (You thinking that this game is over) Oh no!

(Crack crack crack crack crack crack) Yellow tape and white sheets Yeah, that's my backdrop whenever I speak I know a lot of y'all would love to ice me Make my head jerk like I'm doing the hyphy But that'll never happen, get on some sick shit Like fifteen in you, and one in your infant (Owwww!) Joe's the business, ask about me In the middle of the desert and they still can't drought me You know Coka baby he stay on that New York shit You seen Weezy coming down on that forklift And money ain't a thing, unless he come up with Then I'ma have to hit 'em, make a little breads often [Chorus 3: Fat Joe & (DJ Khaled)] One's for the trouble Two's for the show Three's for the bass and that limelight glow I know (You thinking that this game is over) Oh no!

[Verse 3: Ja Rule] New York, New York, nigga, never went nowhere I just took off a couple of years But now I'm back on my day-to-day Old school, Gucci frames like day to day Who gon' tell New York "Time's up"? Flavor Flav? Cause as much as things change it remains the same And you can give me the city of God And Mecca, the temple, the mosque An inspiration; the inception, the art Of hip-hop was born The rap game was formed From niggas that's dead broke, sell drugs, bear arms Against all odds And argue all day about who's a bigger star; Joe, Jada or Ja? So close but so far So many with no start I can't believe 50 Cent and NY fell off Then LA came back, then South is running shit Then one blood group, shit's all developing, NEW YORK! [Chorus 4: Ja Rule & (DJ Khaled)] One's for the trouble Two's for the show Three's for the bass and that limelight glow I know (You thinking that this game is over) Oh no! (The wait is over) New York is back! (Let me see your hands, wave 'em side to side Put 'em up high, dunk ride cause) New York is back! (Let me see your hands, wave 'em side to side Put 'em up high, lets ride cause) New York is back! [Outro: DJ Khaled] Funkmaster Flex! DJ Enuff! Mister Cee! Cipha Sounds! Green Lantern! DJ Absolut!
