New York
d.d. Scout Plane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Muthafuck it, I get straight to the point
You don't dig what I'm sayin, then fuck you
Cause sellin drugs only job that a nigga got
Sellin caine to the kids in the parkin lot
Some niggas live, some niggas gotta get dropped
You say 'damn' - my man, you don't understand
How could you be so cold to a brotherman?
Don't come around here teachin and preachin
Because a nigga like me you ain't reachin
Cause all I care about is sellin my lleyo
Makin money like a nigga make mayo
Toke on weed, sippin on my Olde E
All the crackheads all on my wee-wee
Rollin hard in a rag-top Volvo
911 on my ass, I'ma roll on
You don't understand where a brother comin from
That's why young black men always on the run
You either gangbang, or you get hanged
Kill another nigga, it ain't no thang

(Gangster Boogie)

Pull a 8 on a nigga, say 'fuck you'
Then pull away in my BMW
Cause on the street you gotta be a little meaner
But that's how my pockets get greener
Runnin shit, gotta be a little candid
Some time you be a little a bandit
Sellin dope out of my crackhouse
You either kick game, or you get gamed
(You don't know the pain)

(Kick that shit)

King of New York

Yo muthafucka, it's time to get rolled on
Strolled on, you better get a hold on
How the fuck you expect me to get back
If I never had to pull on my git-gat?
Because to me it ain't nothin but a killin
That's how a nigga be feelin
I call a homie on the mobile ( *dialing* )
What up, my nigga, it's about that time
Grab the Uzi, the eight and the nine
When a nigga be rollin on the ave
Sometime it gonna be a blood bath
But when I'm comin, no playin, no jokin
I let the Uzi and nine be smokin
Alright now, back to my tale, yo
Spot the nigga on the corner sellin lleyo
Pull up, "Yo, what up, gee?"
He didn't see my nigga in the backseat
All I heard was "Please don't shoot!"
( *shots* ) grabbed the caine and the loot
(It's like that, and that's the way it is)
(So damn) (tough)
Now a nigga on the top of the world, see
I got the women, the dope and the jewelry
I'm livin large in a fat-ass crib
Don't give a damn about the shit I just did
Then I heard a knock-knock at my door
Said "Oh shit!" - I hit the floor
One of my homies on the ave was a big snitch
I said "Oh shit!" - jumped through the window
Bullets were flyin, people was cryin
Fuck it, some nigga was dyin
You either gas on or you get gased
Now I die with a bullet in my ass

(So damn) (tough)
(So damn) (tough)
King of New York

(Two years ago a friend of mine)




(Two years ago a friend of mine) --> Run
(They try to be like me) --> Dr. Dre

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of d.d. Scout Plane’s song, “New York,” explore the realities of being a young black man in New York City during the 1990s. The singer of the song is a drug dealer, who makes his living by selling cocaine to kids in parking lots. He is frank about his job's danger, saying that some of his colleagues die doing it, while others have to kill to survive. The dealer does not care for preaching or trying to change his ways and does not feel understood by anyone. He speaks candidly about the violence, leaving a bullet in his ass dying on the streets as either the hunter or the prey. As he claims the title of the “King of New York,” he seems to regret little of his actions.


The lyrics are raw and authentic, reflecting the harsh realities of life for people living in poverty and turning to drugs and violence in the inner city. The dealer is not ashamed of his actions and does not attempt to sugarcoat or glamorize them, portraying a world where violence and drugs are normal parts of life. The use of slang adds to the authenticity of the lyrics, creating a vivid image of life on the streets of New York.

I was at the Airshow today. The aircraft with the help of a left cross wind temporarily left the runway grass onto the adjacent dirt before straightening out and resuming their roll out. Pilots and crew are all safe and sound. And the Aircraft was not harmed

@topgunmaverick379

Thank God the plane is ok. I finally get to see her for the first time in 3 months and thought my opportunity was squashed

@user-tj6vk7fg5v

Thank you for the proper explanation Austin. I know the crew very well. They are well trained and I'm sad at some of these comments. Unexpected crosswinds can happen. They didn't "almost crash" as the video indicates, although for people just watching, I'm sure it looked scary.

@davidhakes3884

Tough Old Birds. They will fly till the wings fall off.

@captainaxle438

strong crosswind? Look at the people in the video look at their hair. no strong crosswind. simply pilot error

@franzstraumann2373

Yes and if you look closely, he also applied right elevator, that rolled the plane to the wrong side and took him out of directional control…
