NY NY

Tell 'em again, uh huh! Word to the world
Word up, New York
Word up, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Uptown, Queens
Make noise! Staten Island, keep whylin'
Word up (woo) yeah, yeah, yeah NYC y'all

Steady bouncing in jeeps on
These New York streets recognize the elite
What we did with these beats
Yo your town wouldn't eat
If New York didn't speak
Don't front with the heat
Make me come with the fleet
New York is complete, all concrete
The center of the world
Where all people meet
I'm keeping this style simple
To make ends meet
I could jump out of a window
And land on both feet
New York City is always ruling
Reach and teach and always schooling
No I'm not fooling, crowd is not booing
Original MC'ing, that's what I'm doing

New York, just so ya don't forget
New York, home of the Yankees and Mets
New York, something you have to see
It's the place to be, it's the place for me
That's tell 'em againuh
Huhyeahthat's rightwordword

Now you could shout your clique
And shout your town
But it's time we shout New York
Hold it down!
You wanna see latinos, yo that's Boogie down
African-Americans, yo that's Uptown
Jamaicans, Haitians that's Brooklyn bound
Run up to Queens, take a good look around
Lower Manhattan all the way out to Staten
New York is the birth of DJ'in and rappin'

That's yeah yeah tell em again word word
Word uh huh yo yo yeah

Check it!
Gun clap, and cops, cracks and rocks
Road blocks, routine traffic stops
But that raw Hip-Hop it's ova hear
You could check my city grammar
It's cold and clear
What we gave the world, saved the world
Before hip-hop, pop enslaved the world
But we freed ourselves with the help
Of Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa
And Flash did work
This is the reason we respect these people
Cause when they was doing it
Hip-Hop was illegal
Now we all legal, and heads wanna floss
They forgot hip-hop
And all the lives that was lost
You see the way they dress
And the way they talk
They claim they da best
But that's all New York
Imma shout it to the world, the
Truth is out, NY #1, and we in the house
That's
