New York
N.Y. Style Lyrics

Grimey nigga
I am a rough and tough individual

Steppin over puddles, you could cry me a river
I won't be moved or affected by your tears

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Repetition for emphasis

Yeah, could've sworn I told you I'm a grimey nigga (na-na-na)
I thought I made it clear that I am a tough person

Guess I'ma be steppin' over puddles if you cry me a river (na-na-na)
If you cry, I won't alter my actions or emotions

You was even cryin' when you lied to me, I kept you beside of me
You were deceptive and emotional, but I still kept you close

Bonnie and clyde, I thought you was finna ride and die for me (na-na-na)
I believed we were a loyal and united team

Yeah, I was standin' ten toes hollowin', you niggas couldn't even give me five
I stood strong and unwavering, while others couldn't match my commitment

And I was breakin' bread with a bunch of niggas who was keepin' crumbs on the side
I shared my benefits with people who were only taking a little and not contributing much

And I know I took your v but once you give that pussy up, that shit fucked up my pride
I regret taking your virginity because it damaged my ego

Got a heart so cold, gotta wear a fuckin' coat 'cause of how I feel inside
My emotions are frozen and I have to insulate myself from them

I'm the shortest outta everyone I'm standin' with
I am physically shorter than the others around me

But I'm still the top dawg everything I'm handlin'
Despite my physical stature, I am the leader and best at what I do

And I don't like talkin' on the dead but since these niggas talkin' hot
I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but others are talking recklessly

We celebrate everytime they lose a man again (yeah)
We commemmorate the death of our enemies

I gotta make 'em understand (yeah)
I need to make them comprehend

I did everything I can (huh)
I exerted maximum effort

Fuck it, uh, it's time to make them understand
I'm going to force them to grasp the concept, consequences be damned

How the fuck we beefin' but when you do your interview
Why are we in conflict, but you're mentioning me favorably in your interview?

You mentionin' my name like you a motherfuckin' fan?
Are you mentioning me like a devoted admirer?

Niggas do a bid then they wanna come home and brag about it
People talk about their jail sentences as if it's a badge of honor

Like they wasn't gettin' fucked up in the can
Like they didn't suffer or struggle in confinement

And I don't give a fuck about no fifty-thousand dollar chain
I don't care about expensive material possessions

When I got the same damn thing on my hand (yeah)
I already have something equal in value

'Cause there's levels to this shit (yeah)
There are different levels of experience and capability

And I know you tried to put your dirt on me but I got shovels for that shit
You tried to involve me in your wrongdoings, but I am ready to combat that

So cold, spin twice so I call my hittas up now we huddlin' and shit
I am such a tough and fierce person that I have to rotate to bring in my companions

'Cause you know love in these streets but I love my peace put a double in that clip
While the streets may involve affection, I prefer calmness and preparedness

'Cause she's the reason I don't slip, let me talk my shit (na-na-na-na-na-na)
My focus on my goals keeps me from faltering, so let me speak my mind

I just got off the phone with my mother
I conversed with my mom recently

I said, "I promise I never meant to worry you"
I reassured her that I didn't want to cause her anxiety

I just finished speakin' to my lil' brother
I also spoke with my younger sibling

He said, "J, you got me scared 'cause of how you movin'
He expressed concern at my actions

I ain't tryna bury you" (nah, nah, nah)
I don't want to see you hurt or harm

And if my dawg got a shiesty, he don't gotta wear no ice
My trusted friend doesn't need to show off with expensive jewelry

Why he 'posed to move a milli, y'all just posted up for likes
Why should he hustle for millions when others just want attention on social media?

Lil' soft ass niggas, you ain't even do no drills for real
You are weak and inexperienced

You ain't even in the field for real
You haven't truly experienced the streets or hardship

I got niggas and they kill for real
I have dangerous companions who are willing to take life

Just a hundred and I'll seal the deal
I just need a small sum of money to confirm the transaction

And you will disappear for real, for real (for real, for real)
You will vanish permanently

I wanna talk to my young one
I want to reach out to the younger generation

'Cause y'all niggas out here goin' crazy
You youngsters are out of control

I feel like y'all need some guidance
I believe you need some direction

'Cause all I see is violence
I only witness hostility

And all I hear is sirens, na-na-na-na (na-na-na-na)
Emergency responders are constantly audible

So listen what I'm tellin' you (yeah)
Pay attention to my advice

'Cause I would never lie to you
I am being honest with you

Y'all niggas jumped off the porch 'cause what them niggas tellin' you
You are behaving recklessly due to peer pressure

And half them niggas lie to you (na-na-na, na-na-na)
Many of your peers are dishonest

'Cause I don't understand (na-na-na)
I can't comprehend

'Cause this is where I'm from
This is my hometown

New york city ghanistan, na-na-na
New York City is a war-torn place, just like Afghanistan
