Lox - Yonkers Tale lyrics

rate me

This is the north part of Yonker<br />

Their home<br />

A whole world all to itself<br />

You could get to any borough 30 minutes from here<br />

It might as well be 3,000 miles away<br />

Over there, that's Alexander Street Precinct<br />

The sounds of the sirens fill the neighbornood<br />

It was around 1997<br />

L-O-X was the sound of the street<br />

(*short clip of a song by the Lox*)<br />

Felt like there was a Bad Boy in every corner back then<br />

Was the time then<br />

Mike Tyson was about to fight Holyfield<br />

For the heavyweight title<br />

Tyson was that nigga, word up<br />

Pops used to sneak us into the gambling spot<br />

To watch the fight on pay-per-view<br />

That's Gettys Square<br />

That's where everything went down at<br />

I'll talk to y'all about that later<br />

Over there<br />

That's the hill<br />

That's where we got rated at<br />

Cops battling<br />

A little red house<br />

59, Chestnut Street, second floor<br />

That's the lookout store<br />

Ayo when shit was moving slow at the spot<br />

All you would here is...
