New York Minute

[Chorus]

(New York, New York, New York)

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Things could get pretty strange

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute

(Ooh, ooh-oooh)

French

Montana

(New York, New York, New York, New York)

Uh

[Verse 1: French Montana]

You can get your neck broke, face cracked, laid flat

And give everything that you made back, eight clap

Make a sun visor out ya wavecap

Pray that New York Minute'll bring Ma$e back

Shame that Remy took eight flat, you know the game wack

And every last rapper here tried bring the name back

It ain't rap, niggas better stay strapped

Or you could call the stick-up boys, try to get your chain back

(In a New York minute)

They thought the game was over

When B.I.G. died, then homie Hov took it over

(In a New York minute)

They shot Pac five times

Years later, them boys took Shyne

(In a New York minute)

That ain't even the least

Akon signed the hottest nigga in the streets

(In a New York minute)

We gave swagger to the game

Still and all, everything can change

[Chorus]

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Things could get pretty strange

Y'all already know, uh

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute

(Ooh, ooh-oooh)

(New York, New York, New York, New York)

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Uh, yeah

You could get your wig clapped, kidnapped, bitch-slapped

A two to four could turn into a six flat, if that

C-4 to your mom's front door, gift-wrapped

Whole fanbase could start thinkin' that your shit's wack

You could be at the gas station and get ya whip jacked

Get yapped, pay a nigga bread, get ya shit back

Right back, everything could change, just like that

Get pulled over on your way bringin' that white back

(In a New York minute)

Rappers stopped sellin'

Kim did a year and a day for not tellin'

(In a New York minute)

Fox went deaf in one ear too, shortly after that she did a year too

(In a New York minute)

I beat the case, not enough evidence

Get ready to see a black President

(In a New York minute)

You can download a whole album

Now you see where these niggas get their style from

What

[Chorus]

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Things could get pretty strange

Y'all already know, uh

In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)

Everything can change

In a New York minute

(Ooh, ooh-oooh)

(New York, New York, New York, New York)
