[Intro] Yah, Queens n***a Ali Vegas Generation gap spokesman for the youth L.E.S., urban wolves y'all Big things connection, yah Yo how you going y'all check it [Ali Vegas] Yo, yo have you ever had to change huddles Move to a differant hood see the same struggles Crab routines got the game muffled Old players wish to d**h but got the same shuffle One move could leave your brain puzzled That's why I stress essentials, bless the tempo With knowledge that perfects the mental Come to Queens see what the rest is into I lost a round but it won't happen twice I got emcees on their knees steady asking christ How come when they was Ali's age they wasn't half as nice I treat a vet just like an ap-pren-tice Cause the words I speak is more street than crack and dice I was put here to rap, L.E.S. let me hear the track D.O. know I spit a verse make the snare collapse Any affair I'm at my peers is strapped From up north to the telly And all my peers caught in the belly Living life similar to bums sincere black [Chorus] Another day, another dollar, another n***a in court (whats that) That's the theme of New York And if you dont plan to play hard You might as well stay the hell off the court That's the theme of New York (I ain't going nowhere) Where the hustlers work hard for their cash and they hate taking shorts That's the theme of New York (the system got them locked down) And all the grimey n***as plot and scheme To take the sh** that you bought, that's the theme of New York
[Ali Vegas] Aiyyo these New York City streets is hot Even police get shot Neighbors never speak a lot And citizens they beef with cops Avenues flooded with p.c. shops And reifer spots My place is a sneaker box Some say I need to stop Others ask me when my cd drops I tell them when they stressed to hear it I got felons serving like me while the rest they live it I walk the streets at night but never pivot Only bullets swerve my words Go through your vest and wet your spirit Y'all critics got a lot of nerve I'm him to the third A new king has emerged From out of queens by turning verbs into perfected lyrics And tommorrow they'll say [Chorus] [Ali Vegas] Yo police blitzed the crack game Drug alias switched to rap names Fat chains attract fame Innocent wigs get split when gats flame Cause the ignorant mix their wits with bad aim A young brain stormer Hit harder than hurricane Carter A mental sparker We can rhyme to see whos pencil sharper You are raps newest propaganda Speak with smooth and proper grammer Planets start minana Turning cash legal Just imagine if wanna cap people Impregnate the rich daughter of Rich Porter And create a crack sequel Now thats lethal What you say gangsta [Chorus] [Ali Vegas sung] I dont kow the plan The system snatched half of my dynasty I dont want to leave the city But I know one day they'll try the real on me (so what you say, what you say gangsta)
