And while we bubblin' our corner be brewin'
Introduce you to the new walk nigga and the new talk nigga
That's how we do when we in New York, niggaz

Yeah, yeah, I'm on my New York shit
Every hood love me for my New York skill
I got a lot of money on that New York strip
Gully rock a scully with a New York fit

Yeah, I'm on my New York shit
Run up in The Tunnel, catch a New York vick
O.D.B. reppin' New York sick
Shit, you want the truth, take a New York trip

If you from New York, stand up, right now

Get it up, get it up, get it, get it, get it up
Get it up, get it up, get it, get it, get it up
