Live from New York, n***a..
[Angie]
Uhh.. uhh.. yo-yo, uhh, yo
They say it ain't where you from that it's where you at
But where I'm from, y'all can tell
Don't matter where I'm at
Born and bred in the streets of New York, New York
It's evident in the way that I talk-a-talk
I travel abroad by the Concorde, with a Clue tape (Clue!)
Stop in Sicily and tell 'em they pizza fake
And I keep the faith in the Knicks, them f**ers
And I'm quick to get slick with the lip
And word to mother
Love a dude with a doo-rag from where we suffer
From growing up too fast
I'm a rude a** b**h when I need to be
But I'm cool as sh** if you real with me, you feelin me?
I never sleep like my city
When it's time to get this money
Got game, spot game
So don't act funny (hah hah)
We the block, we the ave
We the Bronx, we Manhattan
From Staten, to Long Island
We make it happen, out in
[Hook: Prodigy] + Clue {ad libs}
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
[P] The city, the buildings
[P] The big rotten apple, old timers and children
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
[P] We trendsetters
[P] We gave birth to rap music, y'all n***as know better
We NEW YORK, NEW YORK
[P] The latest fashion, listen
[P] We get our j**els from the Diamond District
Out in NEW YORK, NEW YORK
[P] The brave, the great
[P] The Eastside n***a, the Empire State
[Prodigy]
n***a we gangsta, we dress to k**
We on some real live Mobb sh**, pullin up in trucks flossing
The bosses, we scare 'em straight, it's not a game
How we bully sh**, you f** around and get your food ate boy
My razor make your face ke-loid
Then I throw my drink at you (woo!) just to make that sh** burn
We make heads turn when we step in
You starin at my piece swinging
It might hypnotize you
Dunn, we never had to tuck our chains
Marquis diamonds all up in your face
We the hood, we the projects, we Brooklyn, we Queens
In the streets, our music is murder, ya heard me?
It's P (yeah) loud and clear
It ain't fair
How I keep droppin that sh** that make you look stupid
Me and Angie
Got the hottest sh** movin on the block right now
Y'all b**hes bow down, to..
[Hook]
[Prodigy]
Yo, we don't negotiate, we move on impulse
You try to insult me and my a**ociates
So that note, we let the guns speak on our behalf
We got dough to keep dirt up off our hands
C'mon, we the M-O-B-B n***a
We the Mobb
Who the f** did you think it was?
Step aside youngbloods when you see New York n***as come through
Silent murder, that's how we do
[Angie]
Out in NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Where they tend to wild out
Who am I?
Everything b**hes pretend to be about
Angie, yeah baby, you thought it was me
Notoriously, N.Y.C
And y'all can see
I'ma be that chick you remember for life
I got n***as sick trying to make me they wife
I'm in the 5 overdrive as I glide across the bridge
Rockin my sungla**es
Signing pictures for the kids
I demolish from Tribeca to Hollis
+Sky's the Limit+ like Chris Wallace - you can't stop it
Comin through respect due cause I'm the people's choice
Stop actin new yo, cause you know I'm the voice of
[Hook]
