[00:00.91] Ladies and Gentleman, the mayor of New York.
[00:03.16] Good morning.
[00:04.10] It's been brought to my attention that many rap artists
[00:06.78] claim that they run New York.
[00:08.77] But this is not the case.
[00:10.40] In fact, I wrote my own song about what it's really like.
[00:14.04] Please excuse the profanity in advance.
[00:16.58] Hit it.
[00:17.14] I run New York!
[00:19.30] New York, big city of dreams
[00:21.49] and you know that I run this town
[00:24.78] king of the streets, dressed in concrete
[00:27.35] skyscrapers on my crown
[00:28.85] .
[00:29.85] So if you want this Big Apple
[00:33.57] come try to take a bite!
[00:36.31] Cause I run this motherfucking city
[00:38.69] and I won't give it up without a fight!
[00:41.13] .
[00:42.26] Yo I run New York
[00:43.63] It's a pain in the ass
[00:45.07] The city's crowded as fuck
[00:46.44] and it's covered in trash
[00:48.07] and the sanitation chief just shoveled shit in my face
[00:50.76] another transit strike? aw, fucking great!
[00:53.93] I can't wait to have another meeting with the labor union
[00:57.43] so that Mark can bend me over and then shove their fucking shoe in
[01:00.79] but I do it so you can sip your pumpkin lattes
[01:03.46] I literally run New York and it's exhausting!
[01:06.08] .
[01:06.33] I run New York
[01:07.33] it's a fucking headache
[01:09.01] it really wears you down
[01:11.79] in this lake of bureaucratic bullshit
[01:14.79] it's a miracle I don't drown!
[01:17.07] .
[01:17.57] I don't literally run New York
[01:19.69] I run the marathon
[01:21.07] plus I organize it
[01:22.13] so I double run the marathon
[01:23.69] but no one seems to give a fuck that I'm a paragon
[01:26.69] instead they photoshop me so it's looking like I wear a thong
[01:30.07] so they laugh at it in my own office when I'm gone
[01:33.01] went to the Nick's game and they booed me on the Jumbo Tron
[01:36.13] excuse me for trying to help you
[01:38.51] they won't be satisfied till I'm locked up in Belleview
[01:41.55] I guess they don't tell you this job sucks dick!
[01:44.49] I run New York and it feels like shit!
[01:47.10] .
[01:47.58] The chief of Police is a major bully
[01:50.19] he laughs at my ideas
[01:53.13] he made fun of my tie last week
[01:56.16] and I had to fight back tears!
[01:58.44] .
[01:59.13] Now on the surface, it probably looks like I should quit
[02:02.07] cause I spend every day getting punched in the dick
[02:05.07] but at night I travel down into the subway
[02:07.94] wearing chain mail, locked and loaded for gun play
[02:11.30] and battle the gigantic fire breathing mutant rats
[02:14.10] if I fucking quit, who the fuck would do that?
[02:17.16] I'll give you a hint, the answer is no one
[02:20.09] that's why I'm in the sewer dressed up like a show gun
[02:23.09] cause I'm the equinox
[02:24.40] I helped James Springs
[02:26.01] releasing hounds reef in the blood of kings
[02:28.95] and no one even knows, they just think I'm a dork
[02:31.69] but I still kill those fucking dogs, cause I run New York!
[02:34.62] .
[02:35.07] I run New York
[02:36.26] it's a shitty gig
[02:37.57] no overtime in my pay
[02:40.62] I asked the city for a fucking bonus
[02:43.46] and they said no fucking way!
[02:46.57] so rotten is this big apple
[02:49.79] it's crawling with worms inside
[02:52.46] but I run this motherfucking shit hole city and it makes me want to die!
[02:57.82] .
[03:00.21] I run New York!
[03:02.03] Thank you.
