New York City
Troy Ave

[Hook: Troy Ave]

Aye yo, times is hard, but we get through it

And even though it's crimes involved, we had to do 'em

By any means, Malcolm X marks the spot

I went from ridin' bikes to ridin' through in a drop

The road to success for me was real gritty

Wasn't no stress for me, don't feel pity

Life is a bitch and she sure ain't pretty

And I'mma do me anyway, nigga

Cause I'm from New York City

[Verse 1: Troy Ave]

I break bread, ribs, hundred dollar bills

A young prodigy when it come to drug deals

In New York I get blood money

Dirty cash bought my matte black Jeep

I used to skip out on cabs

Went from givin' no dough to given limos to get to shows

Either way I'm driven - this shit shows

Spit flows like Bō, sick hoes, got a Master Rolex watch above my Mo'

Drinkin' champagne out the bottle

Young Crisco, pop it, hop in, let's politic, ditto

Same niggas sayin' time to get this money

They've been the same niggas sayin' that for years, still hungry

New discussion: New York artists wanna be southern

The city's lost, so out-of-towners find themselves frontin'

It was Big, Jay Z, now Troy here after

But Kendrick Lamar's just a weirdo rapper

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Raekwon]

We went from Uzis to elephant guns

Small pistols on Gynsills - little shorties, cheeba, big forties

Sittin' back in the 'hood - good, nigga, good

Retrievin' every dollar bill, grabbin' my wood

You know we specialists at nighttime

Call us the poisonous pumpers

Who run up on these niggas like Nightline

The arsonists and good vines

That means the wares is amazing - assignment, baby, since '89

Creepin' through hallways, big laundry bags

Four Ks - handle them niggas, now jam niggas

Fuck they gon' do with no CREAM? You might as well be a bum

Cause you could never represent the money team

We smash faces, flash bracelets, that's the basic

Don't get smacked in your mouth with 45 razors

Yeah, the jungle brothers rollin' with all coverage

Get 'em young Troy - What? He fucked with us

[Hook]

[Verse 3: N.O.R.E.]

You know how I steady rock - New York City bop

Used to slang grainy rock - war on the petty block

Back-to-back cases

Now we drink liquor, drinkin' back-to-back cases

No, we ain't erase this

Spades hand, aces - out of town papers

Luck's all Vegas - herb shit, Avis

I graduated from the street life accordingly

Said my first rhyme on a jail phone, recordedly

I been shot niggas since 14

I've been to war, mean - got guns from Fort Greene

I exorted niggas - I was the re-up man

I gave the orders, nigga - P.A.P.I. gave the orders, nigga

King flow, used to get coke from Domingo

Get up in the old folks' home, he's playin' bingo

He sold it for 10, but I got him for cinco

Safe in the ceiling, the guns under the sink flow

[Hook]

[Verse 4: Prodigy]

The life and times of a New York Nigga, we very different

Please pardon my aggression, but move from my vision

With that bullshit you spittin', you talkin' my high off

You blowin' my vibe, you forcin' my iron off my belt

I'm forcin' myself to be chill

Listen to them journalists, get yourself killed

They ain't never lived this life, and no near nothin' 'bout it

They hide behind aliases and talk rowdy

From behind a MacBook, fuck a blog, dawg

If I see you in the flesh you'll be shook

Like a martini - I know they tired of me

I know they wish I would die already, but I'm very dope

I'm so cold, you should get your February coat

That NY shit, you niggas got warm hearts

No offense, but I'll tear you apart

No matter which part of the map you reppin', get your weapon

[Hook]
