New York New York lyrics

"New York, New York"
(feat. DJ Clue & Prodigy)

[Clue] 
DJ Clue.. Desert Storm.. Angie Martinez.. Prodigy.. 
Live from New York nigga.. 

[Angie] 
Uhh.. uhh.. yo-yo, uhh, yo 
They say it ain't where you from that it's where you at 
But where I'm from, y'all can tell, don't matter where I'm at 
Born and bred in the streets of New York, New York 
It's evident in the way that I talk-a-talk 
I travel abroad by the Concorde, with a Clue tape (Clue!) 
Stop in Sicily and tell 'em they pizza fake 
And I keep the faith in the Knicks, them f**kers 
And I'm quick to get slick with the lip and word to mother 
love a dude with a doo-rag, from where we suffer 
from growin up too fast, I'm a rude as* bit*h when I need to be 
But I'm cool as sh*t if you real with me, you feelin me? 
I never sleep like my city when it's time to get this money 
Got game, spot game, so don't act funny (hah hah) 
We the block, we the ave, we the Bronx, we Manhattan 
From Staten, to Long Island, we make it happen, out in 

[Chorus: Prodigy + Clue {ad libs}]
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 
[P] The city, the buildings 
[P] The big rotten apple, old timers and children 
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 
[P] We trendsetters 
[P] We gave birth to rap music, y'all niggaz know better 
We NEW YORK, NEW YORK 
[P] The latest fashion, listen 
[P] We get our jewels from the Diamond District 
Out in NEW YORK, NEW YORK 
[P] The brave, the great 
[P] The Eastside nigga, the Empire State 

[Prodigy] 
Nigga we gangsta, we dress to kill 
We on some real live Mobb shit, pullin up in trucks flossin 
The bosses, we scare 'em straight, it's not a game 
how we bully shit, you f**k around and get your food ate boy 
My razor make your face ke-loid 
Then I throw my drink at you (woo!) just to make that sh*t burn 
We make heads turn when we step in 
You starin at my piece swingin, it might hypnotize you 
Dunn, we never had to tuck our chains 
Marquis diamonds all up in your face 
We the hood, we the projects, we Brooklyn, we Queens 
In the streets, our music is murder, ya heard me? 
It's P (yeah) loud and clear, it ain't fair 
how I keep droppin that sh*t that make you look stupid 
Me and Angie, got the hottest sh*t movin on the block right now 
Y'all bit*hes bow down, to.. 

[Chorus] 

[Prodigy] 
Yo, we don't negotiate, we move on impulse 
You try to insult me and my associates 
So that note, we let the guns speak on our behalf 
We got dough to keep dirt up off our hands 
C'mon, we the M-O-B-B nigga 
We the Mobb, who the f**k did you think it was? 
Step aside youngbloods when you see New York niggaz come through 
Silent murder, that's how we do 

[Angie] 
Out in NEW YORK, NEW YORK - where they tend to wild out 
Who am I? Everything bit*hes pretend to be about 
Angie, yeah baby, you thought it was me 
Notoriously, N.Y.C. and y'all can see 
I'ma be that chick you remember for life 
I got, niggaz sick tryin to make me they wife 
I'm in the 5 overdrive as I glide across the bridge 
Rockin my sunglasses, signin pictures for the kids 
I demolish from Tribeca to Hollis 
+Sky's the Limit+ like Chris Wallace - you can't stop it 
Comin through respect due cause I'm the people's choice 
Stop actin new yo, cause you know I'm the voice of 

[Chorus] 

[Clue] 
Big shout to Queens, Brooklawn.. 
Uptown, the B.X., L.I., Shaolin, Y.O. 
Nigga! 

Desert Storm, Roc-A-Fella, it's William nigga.. Holla! 
Hev. E Components nigga, we built like that!
