"New York" lyrics
(feat. Fabolous)
If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Aye!
Shit!
You know what they say if you could make it here
(You shittin' me)
When the elevators don't work we had to take the stairs
Broadway plays we got Broadway yay
And qué lo qué papi is what the Oyés say
(Dimé lo)
Air 1's on my feets makes my summer complete
If it's up then it's stuck that means someone got beef
We don't stop for the frays we just run from police
That's why we watch where we walk when we run through these streets
It's not a sweet walk you thinkin' Junior's out in Brooklyn
Over cheesecake they come and boom you out of Brooklyn
Shouts to the homies that's in the tombs or the bookings
Careful up in Harlem, cause they'll boom you for lookin'
I know some real kings, if you ever get to Queens
Know some Bronx bombers that still pissed to the fiends
Some Butter Pecan Ricans that silk strip for the cream
New York is the city nigga the Knicks is the team
Start spreadin' the news (da da da da da)
I'm leavin' today (da da da da da da)
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news (This one for the town)
I'm leavin' today (The big city)
I want to be a part of it (The capital of the world)
New York, New York (Aye Capo!
Let's rap about it!)
That mighty NYC
We done overcame it all so you know we came to ball
If you in the function feelin' like Brunson
Never scared to shoot your shot
Lemme get a huh son
Ok Brooklyn keeps on taking it, Harlem money making it
BX gotta Yankee it, Queens JFKing it
Staten Isle cash rules ice cream cakin' it
Butter pecan french vanilla shorty keep on shakin' it
Like da-da-da-da
Fresh outta Bahama
Laugh all the way to the
Bank like ha-ha-ha
Boogie like nah-nah-nah
Blick go fah-fah-fah
Shots make a nigga Shmoney dance ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh, la-la-la
It's just the way that we rock when we're doin' our thing
We do bacon egg and cheese and hot sauce on our wings
We rock our Timbs all year and we loosen our strings
Sing
Start spreadin' the news (da da da da da)
I'm leavin' today (da da da da da da)
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news (da da da da da)
I'm leavin' today (da da da da da da)
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
Aye!
Shit!
You know what they say if you could make it here
