Yo, it doesn抰 make sense, for you to compete against
This new york vibe that gets your whole body tense
Calm down, listen to a brother who knows
Cause the rappers out here come up with mad different types of flows
Switch-up, change-up, yo pull the range up
So we can build on this shit, for real that抯 how we came up
Used to ride the subway trains back and forth
Now I push an e-class, four-two-zero of course
Still material gains, make one more aware
Of all the madness and the civil unrest that抯 out here
I doubt there, is anyplace more complex
You can get lost in the sauce, new york抣l have you vexed
Who抯 next to get served, herbs抣l get knocked off
Burning flammable rappers, is how I get my rocks off
I pop your top off as if you were the bottle
Then I抣l drain all your fluid, you抮e better off playing lotto
Bright lights, big city and the dark alleyways
New york we get the money all day everyday

True if you can make it out here, you can make it anywhere
That means a lot of rappers, they should stay away from here
Cause we still care, about the total artform
Niggaz could sell more records but they still can抰 flip a live forum
Plus everybody out here ain抰 talkin true shit either
Mad niggaz is fakin jacks, I don抰 like them neither
But the competition keeps me on point
That抯 why I lamp in the studio composin fresh new joints
From the streets, medina, manhattan, staten, p-lawn
The struggle continues, everybody wants to be on
The rat race, makes this lifestyle fast paced
I抳e loved it since the days of fat shoelace
Screwface me all you want, but I抦 used to it
I抣l never give up rep in new york, I抦 true to it
From forty-deuce to queens, back to east new yi
We takin no shorts, and plus we showin no pity
Bright lights, big city and the dark alleyways
New york, we get the money all day everyday
"from new york... straight talk..."
"yo.. i抦.. not.. new.. to.. this"
"america抯 best" "word up!"

You get bent up, sent up creek, without a paddle
You wanna battle? well I live in new york
So think twice blink twice now your roley and lincoln抯 gone
Don抰 come into this rap game if you don抰 belong
You won抰 be on but for a minute anyway
You抮e just a scavenger, you don抰 live this life everyday
Rap is regional, so you can check the demographics
Everybody represent where they live, cause shit is drastic
Confusion, while I抦 givin rappers contusions
And people don抰 realize that real hip-hop is losing
They wanna shut us down, and I say, "shut up clown!"
Cause new york is too corrupt and too tough to lay down
And just quit, cause mc抯 out here kick serious lyrics
And I come to you, with my infinite spirit
Not takin nothin from your hood or your set
But gangstarr could be a threat, in new york we rep
That抯 where it comes from, that抯 why you抮e feelin it
So why supress it, I抎 rather be revealin it
Bright lights, big city and dark alleyways
New york we get the money all day everyday
