[Hook 1: Guru]
New York n***as, universal, unique
It ain't nothing sweet in these streets, we gotta eat
New York n***as, every borough is thorough
Making moves today, and then tomorrow
[Verse 1: Guru]
I slay my prey, with exellence, eloquence, and reverance
You can't compete, so I suggest you lamp
Or meet defeat at the feet of my elite fleet
I mistreat these beats like hoes and put 'em in the street
Like seven hoodlums in a Jeep I creep up on ya
Brookam to California, I embalm phony performers
Cause the actors like Leonardo, DiCaprio
Don't make me wanna put down this mic, walk up, slapping yo
And tapping yo, and take you out of your misery
Don't ever front the role for these b**hes, thinking you dissing me
[Hook 2: Guru]
New York n***as, universal, unique
It ain't nothing sweet in these streets, we gotta eat
New York n***as, every borough is thorough
Making moves today, and once again son, tomorrow
New York n***as, universal, unique
It ain't nothing sweet in these streets, we gotta eat
New York n***as, goin out for the loot
And most won't hesitate to co*k and shoot
[Verse 2: Guru]
Yo, yo, I cut deeper, you're much weaker, I crush speakers
See 'nuff heaters here in New Yitty
That's where it's grimy and gritty, word to Frank Nitty
Got strippers showing their titties, bourgeoise hoes acting saditty
And every spot got it's own ghetto
Liquor stores on all the corners, plus d** guns with ammo
No example set, for thugs in the projects
Only examples they get, is how to unload the tec
Out for respect, props and dough to collect
The root of it all yo, is you need loot to ball yo
If my back's against the wall yo, I'mma bang you 'til you fall you
Slang slash a buck fifty n***as is shifty
Gonna have to send more of your goons out to get me
How could you compare this here, with that weak sh** there
Word to my man Sincere, we'll make you travel in fear
Like apparations I appear and disappear
New York in the house, so s**ers play the f**ing rear
[Hook 3: Guru]
New York n***as, universal, unique
It ain't nothing sweet in these streets, we gotta eat
New York n***as, every borough is thorough
Making moves today, and once again son, tomorrow
[Verse 3: Guru]
Pay attention, or get placed on suspension
Situations you gon' face, beyond your comprehension
You'll be like, "Why is all these n***as after me?"
Way up sh**'s creek, that's where your a** will be
Actually, you brought the sh** all on yourself
Now n***as is scheming, all on your wealth
Future health is in danger, simply cause of anger
Got n***as lookin' to hang ya, or straight rearrange ya
You better hold your head, you better hide your bread
Cause these n***as ain't playin, they're leaving all victims dead
They labelled you as their next target
See, you was fronting, acting like you was the hardest
Regardless, you know them n***as is hungry yo
And ain't sh** funny yo, they want respect and money yo
[Hook 4: Guru]
New York n***as, universal, unique
It ain't nothing sweet in these streets, we gotta eat
New York n***as, every borough is thorough
Making moves today, and then tomorrow, tomorrow
[Outro: Guru]
That's right, Brooknam to California
New York City in the house
Peace to Sway and Tech
And all my cats in the system
You gets much respect
Hold your head
New York baby
