Doom - Lively Hood lyrics

[Hook: Ghostface] Bad as in good, good as in hood Evil lurks in the shadow, I wish a n***a would [Verse 1: Ghostface] Ayo, New York, New York, big city of dreams But some dreams get flushed out and turned to the fiends By all means it's 24 hours of work Some n***as got that Sour D and some got dirt Some is out to bust they heat and some just squirt Some b**hes can shake they a**es, some can't twerk You got Times Square square times, they got lame rhymes This is Ghost sh**, I f** rats and dimes These signs are so vivid, the street lights are blaring You got filthy rich and greedy n***as you ain't sharing Five boroughs, b**hes of all flavors Crooked cops locking my peoples behind cages Wrecking agents, The Diamond District Body bags are all stacked up as another statistic Dirty water dogs or Morton's Steakhouse fillets Staten Island, New York, I love my Shaolin ways [Hook: Ghostface] Evil thoughts can lead to some positive energy New York, New York, the baddest place of the century Bad as in good, good as in hood Evil lurks in the shadow, I wish a n***a would Positive thoughts can lead to some negative energy New York, New York, the baddest place of the century [Verse 2: MF DOOM] Salute!
