Down In New York City

I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y

(down in New York City)

Yeah, no fear, no love, no pity

Where everybody's attitude is shi-.. on the transit

Listen, in the hood where the mixtapes bang

They'll snatch your chain if you're not (down in New York City)

Where people never sleep, the sun could always hide

The place where Pun, JMJ, and Big ain't died

No, they're still alive through the sounds of the street

Violate and get your ass beat (down in New York City)

Yeah, I rep the West because I'm from out there

Still shop in 125 or the Albee Square

If you're askin' me to choose the two, don't compare

Still find me anywhere getting (down in New York City)

Five hours, the flight was rough

Scared of heights but don't never get high enough

LAX to JFK, my bird at the baggage claim

Waiting when I touch (down in New York City)

Got my mind running miles a minute

Got my eyes on the prize, backseat I'm sittin' (yeah)

Only been twenty minutes since the plane was towed in

Damn! She's already goin' (down in New York City)

Yeah, watching the lights

Cop paged, dropped her off (Washington Heights)

Back to Midtown, check in, hit the night

We getting right, we stepping out (down in New York City)

I gets busy, call Alchemist

Town on smash, ain't nobody doubtin' us

Peace first, if not, then I'll adjust

Don't ever try to lay me down (down in New York City)

We gets busy

(New York is still the same)

(Thought you knew how we do it)

And I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y

(Representing) (West Coast)

But I'm (down in New York City)

E-V, that's Evidence

And my closet lookin like Bobbito shit

But I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y

(New York City) (down in New York City)

If I have to choose a coast I have to choose the West

I was born out there, so don't go there

But you should see my peace in the East

Cookin rice and beans in the East (down in New York City)

In the air, yeah they breed hustlers

Short attention span, no shortage of customers

Hardest workers in the world, called services

Park Ave. purchases (down in New York City)

I wrote "Worst Comes to Worst" here

Was one of my best days before my worst fears

Before HeadQCourterz rest in peace

Spend a week up in D&D (down in New York City)

Yeah I found it, New York none liver

Got work to move, my dogs are cab drivers

So many heroes passed at Ground Zero

And y'all rebounding (down in New York City)

We gets busy

(New York is still the same)

(Thought you knew how we do it)

And I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y

(Representing) (West Coast)

But I'm (down in New York City)

Yeah, the best from the West

Born from a queen in the East

God bless your soul, rest in peace

And I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y

(Representing) (West Coast)

(New York City) (down in New York City)

No fear, no love, no pity

Where everybody's attitude is shi-.. on the transit

Listen, in the hood where the mixtapes bang

They'll snatch your chain if you're not (down in New York City)

Where people never sleep, the sun could always hide

The place where ODB and Scott La Rock ain't died

No, they're still alive through the sounds of the street

Violate and get your ass beat (down in New York City)

Yeah, I rep the West because I'm from out there

Still in 8th Street and Broadway copping a pair

If you're asking me to choose the two, don't compare

You still find me anywhere getting (down in New York City)
