[00:13.51]New York City
[00:14.83]Welcome to Medina, the Mecca, the melting pot
[00:17.79]Where you could be playin’ ball or sellin’ rocks
[00:19.99]Tell the cops, they don’t care
[00:21.38]
[00:22.41]If you starvin’, they won’t share
[00:24.47]All they’ll say is, “Get your own, motha****eer'”
[00:26.88]
[00:27.28]See the love isn’t unconditional
[00:29.26]A demonstration of unification is uncivilized
[00:32.21]If you’re ahead of the game, it’s you they epitomize
[00:34.84]But all these bright lights, how could you not visualize?
[00:37.31]The Apple is rotten, but I love it
[00:40.17]We’re in New York
[00:41.02]42nd and Broadway, you’ll see a play
[00:44.29]142nd and Broadway, see the yay
[00:47.40]Unwritten rules you follow, it’s no need to say
[00:50.34]They take your chips, I ain’t talkin’ no Frito Lay
[00:53.44]We’re in New York
[00:54.64]No Allstate or Geico
[00:58.65]But you got that money for lipo’
[01:01.20]In the trunk, most of us got the right folk
[01:03.85]Get your purse snatched from a psycho, where?
[01:07.30]We’re in New York
[01:09.29]When I watched the towers fall
[01:11.58]But nobody takin’ ours, y’all
[01:14.46]20 gunshots, call that a shower, y’all
[01:17.71]Money, respect, don’t forget the power, y’all
[01:20.73]We’re in New York
[01:21.89]Certain beef you can’t call off
[01:23.94]So get holes in your body, like a golf course
[01:27.99]Yeah, shotty to the brain
[01:30.72]See you thought it was a game, but…
[01:32.81]

[02:38.93]Money, respect, don’t forget the power, y’all
[02:42.06]We’re in New York
[02:43.05]Certain beef you can’t call off
[02:45.32]So get holes in your body, like a golf course
