Krs One - New York lyrics

rate me

And you say New York City!

Duane 'Darock', KRS

It's New Yorrrrrrrrrk, and we livin

The whole world, it knows, your name

It's New Yorrrrrrrrrk, and we livin

The whole world, it knows, your name

Lenox Avenue, Park Ave

Long Island I see you baby

Jamaican Ave, Queens

KRS, let's go!

New, York, City, get it right, get it tight, get it hype

New York City's in the house tonight

All day, off and on, Broadway

The world's Big Apple is what they all say

Wait, way back in the day

Dudes from the South migrated this way North

Lookin for the higher pay of course

Led by the forces they became big bosses

Like Rick Ross is, the city that never sleeps

Yup, New York is

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere

What's that?

Flatbush! Brooklyn (we live this)

BX Bronx, c'mon

Gun Hill Road, Grand Concourse

New, York, City, still part of my heart, still part of my start

As you can see it's still, part of my art

Still part of my lesson plan, listen man~!

N.Y., every year we fresh again

I be doin South Bronx everywhere I go

Everywhere I go, every nation know

I'm a New York dude that's not New York rude

All over the world I eat New York food

Ha, I'm at home anywhere, any place

Right now somebody from New York in this place

Yeah, no matter where I be

I'll always be N-Y-C

Coney Island! Brighton Beach

Wooo, Red Hook!

I see you Canal Street, Delancey Street

Hester Street, c'mon, New York let's go

New, York, City, metropolitan life, cosmopolitan life

It put the strength inside of my life

But New York City got it's challenges also

Racism, sexism, crime, you all know!

Them guns that keep goin off bustin

And another one bites the dust when

Conflicts arise and dudes start bustin

And cussin, I gotta speak to this

New York is not unique in this

But if we keep sewing this we gonna keep reapin this

I'm teachin this, we gotta overcome our weaknesses

Remember man!

Big up to the firefighters, rest in peace

World Trades y'know

Brooklyn! The Bronx, Queens

Manhattan! Staten Island! New York love it baby

South Bronx

South Bronx, big 'em up!

Rest in peace Jam Master Jay, Big Pun

Big L, Randy Parker

You with us for life rest in peace my brother
