New York City
The J Lyrics

Grimey nigga
I am an individual from a rough and criminal background

Steppin over puddles, you could cry me a river
I continue my journey despite the obstacles, and your tears of disappointment have no effect on me

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Expressing a dismissive attitude towards the previous statements

Yeah, let me talk my
Now, allow me to express my thoughts and feelings

Yeah, could've sworn I told you I'm a grimey nigga (na-na-na)
I'm almost certain I previous informed you about my troubled background

Guess I'ma be steppin' over puddles if you cry me a river (na-na-na)
I will continue to overcome obstacles, even if your emotional reactions try to deter me

You was even cryin' when you lied to me, I kept you beside of me
You shed tears even when deceiving me, yet I still chose to keep you close to me

Bonnie and clyde, I thought you was finna ride and die for me (na-na-na)
Like the notorious criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde, I believed you were truly devoted and loyal to me

Yeah, I was standin' ten toes hollowin', you niggas couldn't even give me five
I remained strong and committed, while you, my associates, couldn't even show a minimal level of support

And I was breakin' bread with a bunch of niggas who was keepin' crumbs on the side
I was sharing my wealth and resources with individuals who were only interested in benefiting themselves

And I know I took your v but once you give that pussy up, that shit fucked up my pride
I recognize that I took your virginity, but once you engaged in sexual activity, it negatively affected my self-esteem

Got a heart so cold, gotta wear a fuckin' coat 'cause of how I feel inside
My emotions have become so cold and distant that I metaphorically need to wear a protective layer to shield myself

I'm the shortest outta everyone I'm standin' with
Physically, I may be the shortest among the group I associate with

But I'm still the top dawg everything I'm handlin'
However, I am still the most dominant and successful in any endeavor I undertake

And I don't like talkin' on the dead but since these niggas talkin' hot
I typically avoid discussing deceased individuals, but considering that these individuals are speaking arrogantly

We celebrate everytime they lose a man again (yeah)
We take pleasure in their misfortunes and failures

I gotta make 'em understand (yeah)
It is my responsibility to ensure that they comprehend my perspective

I did everything I can (huh)
I made every effort within my capabilities

Fuck it, uh, it's time to make them understand
Disregarding the obstacles, it is crucial to make them comprehend

How the fuck we beefin' but when you do your interview
Why are we engaged in conflicts, yet when you provide interviews

You mentionin' my name like you a motherfuckin' fan?
You speak of my name as if you are an avid admirer?

Niggas do a bid then they wanna come home and brag about it
Individuals serve a prison sentence and then boast about their experiences upon returning home

Like they wasn't gettin' fucked up in the can
As if they did not face numerous difficulties and hardships within prison

And I don't give a fuck about no fifty-thousand dollar chain
I do not care in the slightest about a fifty-thousand dollar chain

When I got the same damn thing on my hand (yeah)
I possess a nearly identical item of similar value on my own hand

I gotta make 'em understand (yeah)
It is imperative for me to ensure that they comprehend

'Cause there's levels to this shit (yeah)
Because there are varying degrees and tiers within this particular context

And I know you tried to put your dirt on me but I got shovels for that shit
I am aware of your attempt to tarnish my reputation, but I possess the means to counteract such efforts

So cold, spin twice so I call my hittas up now we huddlin' and shit
My approach is so calculated and detached that I signal my close associates to gather and strategize

'Cause you know love in these streets but I love my peace put a double in that clip
While there may be affection and loyalty within these dangerous environments, I prioritize my personal serenity and equip my firearm accordingly

'Cause she's the reason I don't slip, let me talk my shit (na-na-na-na-na-na)
Since she provides me with stability and prevents me from making mistakes, allow me to express myself confidently

I just got off the phone with my mother
I recently concluded a phone conversation with my mother

I said, "I promise I never meant to worry you"
I assured her that my actions were never intended to cause her any concern

I just finished speakin' to my lil' brother
I just had a conversation with my younger sibling

He said, "J, you got me scared 'cause of how you movin'
He expressed his anxiety due to the way I conduct myself

I ain't tryna bury you" (nah, nah, nah)
He emphasized that he does not wish to experience the loss of my life

And if my dawg got a shiesty, he don't gotta wear no ice
If my close companion possesses deceptive and suspicious qualities, he does not need to display expensive jewelry

Why he 'posed to move a milli, y'all just posted up for likes
Why should he strive for great success, while others merely seek validation and attention through social media?

Lil' soft ass niggas, you ain't even do no drills for real
You weak individuals, you have not experienced any real-life dangerous situations

You ain't even in the field for real
You are not actively involved in the dangerous environments

I got niggas and they kill for real
I have close associates who are truly capable of ending lives

Just a hundred and I'll seal the deal
With just a hundred dollars, I can ensure a successful outcome

And you will disappear for real, for real (for real, for real)
You will genuinely vanish and face dire consequences

I wanna talk to my young one
I desire to communicate with the younger generation

'Cause y'all niggas out here goin' crazy
Because you individuals are behaving recklessly and irrationally

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

'Cause all I see is violence
Since all I witness is an abundance of aggression and hostility

And all I hear is sirens, na-na-na-na (na-na-na-na)
I am constantly exposed to the sounds of emergency vehicles and alarms

So listen what I'm tellin' you (yeah)
Pay attention to the advice and information I am conveying

'Cause I would never lie to you
Because I would never deceive you

Y'all niggas jumped off the porch 'cause what them niggas tellin' you
You individuals initiated your reckless behavior due to the influence of others

And half them niggas lie to you (na-na-na, na-na-na)
Furthermore, a significant portion of those individuals deceive and mislead you

'Cause I don't understand (na-na-na)
Because I am unable to comprehend

'Cause this is where I'm from
Because this is my place of origin

New york city ghanistan, na-na-na
The conditions and environment in New York City are comparable to war-torn Afghanistan
