K-ROSE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the opps, we gon' find you
We catch one and stretch one and leave one of their brains missing
Streched one while he was pissing
GTA, we completed that mission
Hmm, glah-glah-glah-glah
From the 'Raq walking down New York
Treating this rap shit just like a sport (Boom!)
Ay, gang, gang, gang
You should know this shit is not a game
Want the money so fuck the fame
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Tryna figure out why he told
You should know by now R.K.'s not gon' fold (It's Rah!)
It's Rah from the 'Raq, don't play with me this ain't that
Can't fuck with your mans he a rat
We spin the block on ya mans for thinking it's that (grahh)
Sliming ya mans scream "Slat" (Uh, huh)
He on the net still chatting (Boom, boom, boom!)
We catch him lacking, show that boy what's happening
Stupid opp, he should've stuck to rapping (Ha)
Grr, bow-bow
Ay, they know how I rock
Your bitch she give me the top
You said that you like that, I know that you not (Damn)
I call up my niggas they blam some
Your bitch she know that we ran some
She slide on my shit like "Rah boy you handsome"
I'm still like "Who?"
Your gang said they did shit to me?
Violate me, you paying that fee
Go pick up ya mans, he got left in the street
(Grr, bow, bow)
That's the meat falling out his taco




Got a mexican scammer named Marco
You not tricking me lil bitch, just stop hoe (It's Rah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "New York City" by K-ROSE reflect a gritty and confrontational attitude, centered around street life and the dynamics of gang culture. The opening lines, "To the opps, we gon' find you, We catch one and stretch one and leave one of their brains missing," set a tone of vengeance and retribution against rivals. The singer describes engaging in violent acts and completing missions akin to a video game, drawing parallels to the chaotic and ruthless world depicted in Grand Theft Auto. The use of onomatopoeic sounds like "glah-glah-glah-glah" adds a sense of intensity and aggression to the narrative.


The lyrics continue with references to the singer's background, walking down the streets of New York City with a no-nonsense attitude towards the rap game. The repeated chant of "gang, gang, gang" emphasizes a sense of loyalty and solidarity within a group that prioritizes money over fame.

The use of slang terms like "ops" and "mans" adds a streetwise authenticity to the storytelling, portraying a world where loyalty is crucial and betrayals are met with swift and brutal consequences. The imagery of "spinning the block" and catching someone "lacking" evokes a sense of vigilance and readiness to confront any challenges or adversaries. The lyrics also touch upon themes of deceit and manipulation, with references to individuals who are not to be trusted and will face the consequences of their actions.


As the song progresses, there are references to relationships and personal interactions, with a mix of bravado and vulnerability. The singer's encounters with a woman who shows interest in him despite potential dangers add a layer of complexity to the portrayal of his character. The use of slang and wordplay enhances the authenticity of the storytelling, creating a vivid picture of a world where loyalty, power, and violence intersect. Overall, the lyrics to "New York City" paint a vivid and compelling picture of a street-wise individual navigating a world where survival and respect are earned through strength, cunning, and a willingness to confront challenges head-on.
