Yeah yeah, I hear the talk, I know the name
West side raised me, fire in my lane
Snoop down the street, I stay in stride
You don’t want smoke, I burn with pride
Two pitbulls, yeah they ride with me
One on watch, one guards the dream
They say I’m wild, say I’m too much sound
But my city backs me, holdin’ me down
Feel that thump, that bassline’s tight
Heads go up, we vibin’ all night
Came from nothin’, dirt in my shoes
Now I walk tall — win, never lose
So if they ask where I rep all day
Say West Coast — that’s all I gotta say
New York Where the lights don’t sleep at midnight Where the stars are born to rise Now you’re in New York Where the streets are bold and fearless Spread your wings, you’re touching sky Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
Heartbeat knocks in every block True rap lives, we break the lock Runnin’ with legends, made my name Now the game’s all flash and fame Truth got sold, honor got lost Dreams get big, but what’s the cost? Used to ride or die, now it’s just a show Who's next up? Man, I don’t know All hooks, all loops, no soul inside But I spit heat they can’t deny So play it loud, let the people choose If the beat hits right, it’s bound to move
New York Where the lights don’t sleep at midnight Where the stars are born to rise Now you’re in New York Where the streets are bold and fearless Spread your wings, you’re touching sky Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
Neon glows like destiny’s call Middle of the city, I stand so tall Money fade, but sound remains I build my throne in sun and rain Gold on my neck, weight of the fight Shining through dark, chasing the light If cash is king, hand me the keys I'm takin' over, no time to freeze This jungle breathes, the kings survive Watch me climb, I’m born to drive And when I’m gone, remember the flame No regrets — just heart in the name
New York Where the lights don’t sleep at midnight Where the stars are born to rise Now you’re in New York Where the streets are bold and fearless Spread your wings, you’re touching sky Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
Raise the beat, we head for New York Voices echo, dreams don’t stop City of kings, built on sound Where the brave rise off the ground Shine that gold, feel that spark Let’s go, let’s go
New York Where the lights don’t sleep at midnight Where the stars are born to rise Now you’re in New York Where the streets are bold and fearless Spread your wings, you’re touching sky Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
New York Where the lights don’t sleep at midnight Where the stars are born to rise Now you’re in New York Where the streets are bold and fearless Spread your wings, you’re touching sky Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
