New York, New York Lyrics - The Documentary 2 - Game

Turn the beat up, yeah 

New York, New York; wake up LA 

Wave hi to the Chi, let's get right today* 

I heard them lil' niggas takin' their life away * 

I heard a couple lil' niggas got life today 

Is it Farrakhan, Buddha, or Christ today? 

She on her knees so she know what it's like to pray 

She got religious so she doin' it twice a day 

I strap up, no I ain't throwin' dice today 

When you got money on yo head it's a price to pay 

And it get cold in the hood, put your ice away 

They locked Rick Ross up and they ain't give him no bail 

But a cracker shoot a whole church up and it's "Oh well" * 

Oh well, oh well 

Hang him with a confederate flag in his cell 

Let him sit there and rot 'til his body turns to bones 

Just remember who casted the first stone * 

New York, New York; good mornin' LA 

Say hi to the Chi, celebrate to the Bay 

No hesitation like * Steph *, shoot it right in your face 

Cause I'm a Golden State warrior strapped with a K 

How's it land of the free, when we're trapped in a cage? * 

Some shit just never make sense like Magic and AIDS 

Some shit just never make sense like bashin' the gays 

Obama must be in the city, it's traffic today 

Niggas trappin' today just like back in the day 

We like Roc-A-Fella Records, we packagin' yay * 

And that Dirty Sprite 2 shit slappin' today 

We got these niggas boxed in like Cassius Clay* 

And my feregammo belt where that ratchet stay* 

Cause the police killing too many blacks today * 

I wake up in the morning like:"who gon' pass away? who gon' blast today? who gon' have to pray?" 

New York, New York 

Good morning L.A. My nigga Haze blew him and his wife away 

This song is dedicated to Stephanie Mosley, who was murdered from a single gunshot wound inflicted by her husband, Earl Hayes, in Los Angeles, California; December 18th, 2014. I knew Hayes since we were both signed to Aftermath back in 2005. And if I can keep it 8 more than 92 with you, he was a good nigga, I never saw that coming. My prayers are with Stephanie's entire family, I am truly and deeply sorry for your loss
