Yo I'm not new to this I'm true to this word up word up

Yo it doesn't make sense for you to compete against

This New York vibe that gets your whole body tense

Calm down listen to a brother who knows

Cause the rappers out here come up with mad different types of flows

Switch up change up yo pull the range up

So we can build on this sh*t for real that's how we came up

Used to ride the subway trains back and forth

Now I push an E Class four two zero of course

Still material gains make one more aware

Of all the madness and the civil unrest that's out here

I doubt there is anyplace more complex

You can get lost in the sauce New York'll have you vexed

Who's next to get served herbs'll get knocked off

Burning flammable rappers is how I get my rocks off

I pop your top off as if you were the bottle

Then I'll drain all your fluid you're better off playing lotto

Bright lights big city and the dark alleyways

New York we get the money all day everyday

Yo I'm not new to this I'm true to this word up word up

From New York straight talk America's best

True if you can make it out here you can make it anywhere

That means a lot of rappers they should stay away from here

Cause we still care about the total artform

Niggas could sell more records but they still can't flip a live forum

Plus everybody out here ain't talking true sh*t either

Mad niggas is faking jacks I don't like them neither

But the competition keeps me on point

That's why I lamp in the studio composin fresh new joints

From the streets Medina Manhattan Staten P Lawn

The struggle continues everybody wants to be on

The rat race makes this lifestyle fast paced

I've loved it since the days of fat shoelace

Screwface me all you want but I'm used to it

I'll never give up rep in New York I'm true to it

From forty deuce to Queens back to East New Yi

We taking no shorts and plus we showing no pity

Bright lights big city and the dark alleyways

New York we get the money all day everyday

Yo yo I'm not new to this

America's best the word up the word up

From New York straight talk America's best

Yo I'm not new to this I'm true to this word up word up

From New York straight talk America's best

You get bent up sent up creek without a paddle

You wanna battle well I live in New York

So think twice blink twice now your Roley and Lincoln's gone

Don't come into this rap game if you don't belong

You won't be on but for a minute anyway

You're just a scavenger you don't live this life everyday

Rap is regional so you can check the demographics

Everybody represent where they live cause sh*t is drastic

Confusion while I'm giving rappers contusions

And people don't realize that real hip hop is losing

They wanna shut us down and I say shut up clown

Cause New York is too corrupt and too tough to lay down

And just quit cause mc's out here kick serious lyrics

And I come to you with my infinite spirit

Not taking nothing from your hood or your set

But GangStarr could be a threat in New York we rep

That's where it comes from that's why you're feeling it

So why supress it I'd rather be revealing it

Bright lights big city and dark alleyways

New York we get the money all day everyday
