Yeah, where you from?

I'm from New York
The rotten apple, the city that never sleeps
I am the man

I'm from New York
The rotten apple, the city that never sleeps
I am the man
Call me DiCapo, a product of these New York streets (win)

Life is a bitch, I'm domestic violence
I'll beat the bitch and keep on styling
Can't shit take me away, my paper piling
New York looking for life, the hounds is howling
So if you see life, let the bitch know I'm prowling
We done did it and done it and gonna do it again
And if we win it and won it we gonna win it again
Go 'head hate homie, I make love to no man
You get your gums riled, lollipop fucking with grown men
Can't stop won't stop, a soldier with sense
I rep the rock, harder than rocks, R.I.p. Tupac
Birds go in they flock, pimps is upping a stock

I'm from New York
