Talib Kweli - NY Shining lyrics

rate me

[Intro]

Ah, ey, it’s greg nice, e, I’m in the place to be ah

With my brother, kweli, ah, check it out ah,

Brooklyn in the house, ah

Money making Manhattan in the house

Styling out in the house, ah

The q burrow queens in the house, ah

Bring it down

[Hook]

I’m a New York kid, with New York needs

And New York dreams

That live in me, my destination is destiny

Soon you will me shining, shining, shining,

Shining, shining, shining, shining

Yo I’m a native New Yorker, straight shit talker

Holla out in the 4th heads a kaiawaka

Can’t get rid of her, thinks she a stalker

But the trees down, here comes the Chewbacca

Y’all know the deal, with style so ill

Rip shit down, I

Y’all know the deal, with style so ill

Rip shit down, Y’all know the deal, with style so ill

Rip shit down, I don’t care who on the bill

20 years later getting Master pill

Flicing on the wheels of steel

Bang this beat like a flank real foul

Don’t get me mad I get ill like awww

I go 7 30 on your kep buck wild

Stay act up with my old G style

Pass me the vodka yo pass me the juice

I used to watch kung fu flicks on the deuce

Me, cousin meatball and my cousin Bruce

Get up, get down, oh get funky, get loose!

[Hook]

I’m a New York kid, with New York needs

And New York dreams

That live in me, my destination is destiny

Soon you will the shining, shining, shining,

Shining, shining, shining, shining

If my city is my lady, my music is my baby

Lately this chick is crazy, I’m ready to catch the caddie

Living on top of graves and bones of afrikan slaves

Only time is like I’m not in the cage it’s on stage

I’m from the birthplace of Pac and Big

Stop the friss while we calling cops pigs

Way the god lives it’s like they teaching’s never a substitute

When I had in the brighten peace, get in touch with the Russian jews

Egyptians and the Asians will kick it with black arrow

I sneak in the barb dealer while I’m swinging to bob carol

The fact is, they don’t make them like they used to

Plus I miss the old 40 deuce too

We used to do them hood wild thing

Like smoking with the ciga west

The drill is gone now, Mickey Mouse is the biggest threat

Hell’s kitchen, more like hal’s kitchen now

Road tripping, where I’m going I ain’t figured yet

[Hook]

I’m a New York kid, with New York needs

And New York dreams

That live in me, my destination is destiny

Soon you will me shining, shining, shining,

Shining, shining, shining, shining

I’m the New York king, yeah I shine like the North Star

Getting mad, hiding in the 5 star

Or the 4 star, hotel for the meditation

In the hood with this gentrification

What’s the detonation, or the destination

Let me know what the agenda is

And where the 2 50th vendors is

Write rhymes in my head, no pen and shit

Yeah I smoke for the senses,

Think of my niggas doing they same since

See the cops I got the New York 6th sense

Did a couple years but, I ain’t do shit since

Jail is slavery part 2,

Yeah I’m brave and I got a lot of heart too

And I’m real fucking smart too

New York shine king, you should play your part too

[Hook]

I’m a New York kid, with New York needs

And New York dreams

That live in me, my destination is destiny

Soon you will me shining, shining, shining,

Shining, shining, shining, shining.
