[Intro: Jimmy Nice]
Hey, hey
Stepping out the shadows was just a kid
Standing on the corner where Sean and Duster did
Mad Burners
Let's get em Diddy
[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Stepping out the shadows was just a kid
Standing on the corner where Sean and Duster did
Mad burners
Stay earnest at all cost
Check out my story bout' my day in the Bronx
The land of the free
Home of the brave
Most specifically NYC
Walk with me now
Walk with me now
Walk with me
Put my quarter in the phone and homie answered
Get a taxi to Broadway like Tony Danza
Catch the L all the way to green point
And don't be late
Throw the paint up in my homie's lancer
In the back of the subway car
Like i'm clippin out the subway art
Have you ever been in the Bronx?
My response the furthest we ever got was here in shell font (?)
Nothing soft comes outta here
You know that saying
Driving over the bridge with Beauty in the Bricks playing and
My idol be in the pa**enger seat
Seeing matt black, tatts crew, back street
Kids just playing, stranger smiling with black teeth
Gold rope, with denim jacket and back piece
In the middle of it all is little me
In the jungle
To the puzzle
I am the masterpiece
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Now before the critics blast me for saying i'm master
Juggling their laptops and cold pasta
Man I just wanted to paint NY
Alongside Timo
And now I done both over barb wires like we toast
Check it
No Credit
But Kobe said it if I want something I go get it
Gold letter emblazoning on train facades
Tales from the yards
Facial Scars
In even though we Worlds Apart
They respect the kid
Because of the respect I give
D told me make the letters pop
Swap arrows
Rock the light blue
Like it's out of a drop shadow
We here
We-up beers across the street
Sunset be on the belly of the beast
In the middle of it all is little me
While the OG sparks (?)
Pick apart my peace
[Chorus (Nick Lupi and Jimmy Nice:)]
Young man landed in the land of the free
Home of the brave
The Land of the free
Home of the brave
I said the Land of the free
Home of the brave
Most specifically New York City
Walk with me now
Walk with me now
Talk to me
