Yeah, yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tri Beca right next to Deniro, but I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicano's right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stashbox, 560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them Pastry's
Cruisin' down 8th Street off white Lexus drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas

Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock
Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back for foreigners it ain't for, they act like they forgot how to act
8 million stories, out there in it naked

Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style Anna Wintour gets cold, in Vogue with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on the wind, good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin and Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life, ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion, the city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien (In New York)
