[Chorus]: It's all in your mind Hip hop's alive but it's on the decline New York, New York n***as runnin' out of time Whatchu gon' do n***a? How you gon' shine? We runnin' out of time You can see the sun till your eyes go blind You can be the one that meet the chrome .45 You can be the one that don't die So run and hide You runnin' out of time [Verse One]: Music I make is like, somethin' to take at night Stronger than Vicodin, music will save your life I can't prescribe it to you, only describe it for you It's like a b**h tryin' to squeeze money out of dudes First time she meet him, try to beat him and bait him I'm like a pimp that keep the key to every suite that I stay in All the freaks that I dated ain't get their numbers deleted It's called emergency a**, I call 'em whenever needed Years thinkin' I could never get that swag back Whatever you thinkin', I'm thinkin' ten steps past that I seen what you drivin' n***a go 'head just crash that I'd rather flip crack with heavy checks from ASCAP My n***as will love me and some might hate me Don't wanna cross the line young blood, don't make me I'll hurt you up severely, I know that you hear me Just before you got scared and your eyes was teary You heard me say... [Chorus]: It's all in your mind If hip hop's alive then it's on the decline New York, New York n***as runnin' out of time Whatchu gon' do n***a? How you gon' shine? We runnin' out of time You can see the sun till your eyes go blind You can be the one that meet the chrome .45 You can be the one that don't die So run and hide You runnin' out of time [Verse Two]: Ayo, some of my songs get your kids suspended I'm talkin' shootings and gangs instead of finger paintin' Things they ain't supposed to be hearin' unless they livin' it Project environment, playtime is limited The father gettin' cussed out Baby know the bus route She only three years old, now she turnin' on the stove While you in the back sleep, you never hear the tickin' Little piece of paper, big fires in the kitchen Yo we livin' that hood life The cameras in my buildin' can prove that We movin' like it's boot camp Don diva shoe champ Nike Air's every color, summertime make a color Fake n***as come around Growl but they ain't gorilla More like orangutang, all bark but never bang When we go to war n***as never show they fang They only wanna talk about rap When they see me like it's all about that What's up n***a? [Chorus]: It's all in your mind If hip hop's alive then it's on the decline New York, New York n***as runnin' out of time Whatchu gon' do n***a? How you gon' shine? We runnin' out of time You can see the sun till your eyes go blind You can be the one that meet the chrome .45 You can be the one that don't die So run and hide You runnin' out of time [Verse Three]: n***as fixin' they resumes after 30 somethin' years Havin' kid and no Medicaid On the streets runnin' wild like I'm down with the Blue Cross With a blue cross, Bluetooth and a blue Porsche Fresh pack of Newports Best rapper, who thought? Scoopin' up your b**h at the mall in the food court Eatin' with the kid and she even got the stroller with the shop type My type Till she got to know a n***a now she wanna kiss and tell How she used to give me head Then she smoke a cigarette, chase it with the Ginger Ale Puttin' on the lipstick, she headin' back out Headed to the mall, sneaky rat tryin' to mack out Any n***a shoppin', spot him when he pull his stack out Don't matter if he rappin' if he got it, it could happen Her baby daddy waitin' at the crib with the ratchet Thinkin' she was shoppin', if he knew he would clap her If he knew what she was after [Chorus]: It's all in your mind If hip hop's alive then it's on the decline New York, New York n***as runnin' out of time Whatchu gon' do n***a? How you gon' shine? We runnin' out of time You can see the sun till your eyes go blind You can be the one that meet the chrome .45 You can be the one that don't die So run and hide You runnin' out of time
