The name's Troy Ave, I'm about my words
If niggas want Statik I Selekt my guns
Got a ACB, that's for burglar rum
And the 38 steeds, that's for murder rate
I'm all over yall, I'll take yo life
But I'm giving up the role at a takers' price
I'll shake the dice with my freedom and gangs
Nightmare on fen street, I get the chills at night (movin them bricks)
Chicks should low on the ground, further more I move out
Only bullshittin probably so Biggie don't make a sound
(Shhh) that's a moment of silence
Loud pack, loud gats, it'll go to violence
Just another day in the hood, what the fuck
I'm busy sellin yay in the hood, getting bucks
No opy on em, fuck that, give me opy on em
That little dumb fool, dope swag shit

I ain't have to write a nigga coke tales
I came up off of crack rock and coke sales
New York City, I'mma restore order
?Cause most of these rap niggas is suckers in hot water
Bunch of suckers in love, I put on the glove
And pick up the snub and started shootin, fuck is enough
There ain't none, ?cause most is lame niggas is faggots
Bunch of my sons, I need to claim on taxes
Since there been a war on drugs there been a war on me
The pigs don't want me bringing bacon home apparently
I'm doin all the corners,
Sendin all informers to the coroner
Countin drug money as euphoria
Started out selling nickels
Just to get a fistful, now it's 600 every fiscal
Still distribute young like Def Jam
And I steal and shoot hoops through yo chest man
(Hook2)
New York, New York, big city of dreams
New York, New York

New York, New York, New York is still the same
(Verse)
I'm the epitome of everything that the city is
My team is official while you roam with them idiots
Couple years back wasn't taking it serious
Got my mind right, now the buzzin is furious
Attitude rude like a chick on her period
Red leather jacket, Eddy Murphy delirious
Big mills lookin at me, niggas is curious
Don't trust a soul, mama raised me to live with this
Find a good wife, your little baby the prettiest
The place where I'm from made me wanted to gridder this
The hand we were dealt ? it was one of the shittiest
I'm ill with the words, nigga wun with the wittiest
Fuck with me, you fail something that's up like with me
African spears hit you the Britney with clap with clap with me
Stand in front of the court and bring shock to me, scrap with me
Brought them Corleone contracts with me
(Hook2)
New York, New York, big city of dreams
New York, New York
New York, New York, big city of dreams
New York, New York, New York is still the same
(Verse)
Yo, cocaine champions, killin their comparemanship
Charismatic with my fabric, throwin like my hammer spit
Fully auto, raw blow, watches from Tono
Everything's the same, that's not a game, just now we tour though
Double shine, overtime grind, we getting more dough
So smack em in the face and choke em out to let a nigga know
I put my fuckin hands around yo neck just like Figaro
Hard body everything, bought the block a wedding ring
I'm in love with this lifestyle, entice while fuck them
I'm livin it right now,
We might smile but ain't shit comical, movin economical
Royal to the name that's in the mirror cause to honor you
Stinkin crazy, bein on point, that's what the drama do
If I don't hit yo face then I'mma touch something abdominal
Nothing's accidental, execute and playin wins
?Cause everyday and Charlie get a new buck like tam tims
