Captain btyler:
You know you couldn't do it if you didn't have one burnin' for Frankie... btyler...
[Verse 1: btyler]
I been workin' so hard, I could use a vacation
Got the Finest in the whip with very little persuasion
Gotta get out of the city, and the state, so we drive out
'til we show up in New York, and turn the whole city right out
Bill da Bear, Sweffy Barr, Melody never seen it before
103rd and Lex, walking up to Dozydose's door
Diddylong answers, we made it to the pad
Ready to start the busiest weekend we ever had
Made a serviceable mixtape in under 48 hours
Inside is the power, we just have to make it ours
Stand upon the tallest of these hundreds of towers
And rap our lungs out until we're bringing those April showers
This is the revolution, the calm before the storm
Four to a bed, head to toe, just to keep warm!
Cuz our dreams can keep us cozy, while being produced by Dozy
December's Finest, the Chosen, nonbelievers have been warned!

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it!
New York, New York!
New York...
[Verse 2: Dozydose]
Start spreadin' the news, I wanna see my name in lights!
Cops on corners, on my street, walkin' up two flights
For the comfort of a couch, with the TV on
Central Park, summer breeze, makes me wanna perform!
Hanging out in Union Square, like, "I miss you
I wanna kiss you, don't ever think I'll ditch you."
You're my sidekick in the city that never sleeps
So week-to-week, I can't wait to hear you speak my name
Remember staying up late at the Promenade
Just because we're not together, doesn't mean we're gone forever
Coney Island feelings, girl, you never get your hair wet
Unless, of course, it's just the two of us, then baby, we're set
My boys in town... Gotta show 'em the sights!
Wired up and fired up and spittin' our mics!
N-Y-C recording sesh, ain't no doubt our crew's the best
If you need to find me, come and check out, 103rd and LEX!
