New York

[Hook] x2

New York.. New York,New York

New York.. New York,New York

New York.. New York,New York

New York.. New York,New York

[Verse 1: Oun-P]

No good kids in this MAAD city

Niggas took nine, still alive, just ask 50

We all bad boys over here, just ask Diddy

Let me hold a crown in my dreams, I asked Biggie (I got you)

I used to let my tape rock, till my tape popped

We bringing balls back, Gon' be hard to take shots

It got real in that 'Takeover' n 'Ether' era (facts!)

But now the plan is to take over and eat together

Esco and Jay still relevant

Rest in peace Pun, ye the Bronx was heavy then

Cause trust get buried in

We living in enemy square, And it’s weird

The gangsta celebrity's here (Wow)

The Big Apple, The Empire State

And I'mma connect the dots for the entire state

New York this and New York that

Well what the fuck is Hip-Hop without New York rap?

[Hook] x2

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Where it started at,and this is where it's gon' end at

Willing to put my life on the line to defend that (promises)

Yeah, I got us, don't panic

The apple will never be rotten, it's organic

We got way too much style, they can't cramp it

Career wouldn’t have got off the ground

If we ain’t stamp it

New York, and you ain’t got to wear the hat

Cause they love the way we talk no matter where we at

I know we had it first

I don’t care where it's at

No matter where you’ve been

Don’t nothing compare to that

Landmarks, the subways, the statues

Scared niggas only visit when they have to

You ain’t gotta sneeze for niggas to get at you

That’s real talk, in other words it's factual

Adversity is what kept us strong

From the days of Rich Porter to the Teflon Don (gone!)
