New York City Lyrics - 55 - The Knocks

New York City 

Welcome to Medina, the Mecca, the melting pot 

Where you could be playing ball or selling rocks 

Tell the cops, they don't care 

If you starving, they won't share 

All they'll say is, "Get your own, mothafucka'" 

See the love isn't unconditional 

A demonstration of unification is uncivilized 

If you're ahead of the game, it's you they epitomize 

But all these bright lights, how could you not visualize? 

The Apple is rotten, but I love it

We're in New York 

42nd and Broadway, you'll see a play 

142nd and Broadway, see the yay 

Unwritten rules you follow, it's no need to say 

They take your chips, I ain't talking no Frito Lay 

We're in New York 

No Allstate or Geico 

But you got that money for lipo' 

In the trunk, most of us got the right folk 

Get your purse snatched from a psycho, where? 

We're in New York 

When I watched the towers fall 

But nobody takin' ours, y'all 

20 gunshots, call that a shower, y'all 

Money, respect, don't forget the power, y'all 

We're in New York 

Certain beef you can't call off 

So get holes in your body, like a golf course 

Yeah, shotty to the brain 

See you thought it was a game, but... 

We're in New York City 

We're in New York City 

We're in New York City 

When I watched the towers fall 

We're in New York City 

Nobody takin' ours, y'all 

We're in New York 

When I watched the towers fall 

But nobody taking ours, y'all 

20 gunshots, call that a shower, y'all 

Money, respect, don't forget the power, y'all 

We're in New York 

Certain beef you can't call off 

So get holes in your body, like a golf course 

Yeah, shotty to the brain 

See you thought it was a game, but...
