One time One time...thats it
Yeeeaaahhh
This the Onyx sh** know what I'm sayin
Coming out the mother f**ing crevices
Coming out the f**ing cracks like snakes boy
Word to mother
All my n***as in Queens and ya dont stop
All my n***as in Brooklyn and ya dont stop
All my n***as in Uptown and ya dont stop
All my n***as in the boogiewoogie and ya won't stop
We gonna set this sh** New York style
[Fredro]
We don't throw gang signs in New York
We just be on some sh** in New York
New York City, shiftee low down gritty
You punk n***as yell pity and smell sh**ty
NYPD can s** my dick
This is the way we rip sh** from the bricks
Walking like a zombie smoking blunts in the lobby
I be rollin with more n***as behind me than Khadafi
[Sonsee]
Attention, f** all that slippin and itchin
I'm rappin, loot snachin, stayin greasy this sh** ain't easy
I'm comin rawhide, serious as a four five
Them damn streets are eager to claim all lives
But f** it, it's my home hate it or appreciate it
It's the torrid 8 million story orientated
Designated and made for the real renegades
So I never been afraid to stomp, comp, then get paid
[Hook]
This is the way we walk in New York
This is the way we walk in New York
This is the way we walk in New York
This is the way we walk in New York
[Sonsee]
I'ma stay on my job, cause that's my adventure
I was bred to be a big gainer who contained a precent of the
U.S.G. which make me switch like a schizo
Where I roam it gets so hot but never blow my cool at no spot
If the heat got too much I'ma slide down south
Outta town bound, either home or away
New York hold sh** down on keep locked we rock all night
And if Zoo York n***as wasn't part of your sh**, your sh** wasn't right
We known to start sh** up from trends, to riots, to fracas
And big enough to f** up anybody that wanna attack us
And that's cause the five boroughs are deep
Most of us are peeps, true Zoo York n***as we play for keeps
(Wanna be a part of it--New york is always starting sh**)
[Fredro Starr]
f** that, I'm the nasty native New Yorker
The full of sh** talker
The dark street walker
Sign of the time stalker
Bringin it back to reality, this is for my n***as in NYC
Not since '76
Since the Knicks won the championships
Has there been some more sh** like this
So back up, get off of that soft or wack rap style
My shots ring loud, and panic the crowd
Blowin' up
Get up, my sounds downtown
Hold ‘em up
Give me everything right now
So the f** the mayor, f** Rudy, Ray, and the governor
Ya'll n***as couldn't walk my walk, my talk's ruggeder
[Hook]
[Sticky Fingaz]
Yeah, I'm from the place where criminals is born
And Sticky Fingaz ain't never led a n***a wrong
Representin New York City and for what it's worth
Yo we the triflest mother f**ers on the face of this Earth
So if you don't like your life f** with a n***a from New York
The instincts we got is to shoot first then talk
But what seems to always gives us away is our "n******gy" walk
And I speak from experience, so pleader take heed to advice
We sellin guns and d** and s** or anything for the right price
The crime rate's so goddamn high, we had to name the sh** twice
Cause tourists be scared to d**h to visit the criminal's paradise
Home of bloodshed and tears and for souvenirs there's fears
It appears nobody cares so say your prayers
Or you gonna get double crossed and set up, either head up or shut up
Cause bullets ain't got no names and anybody could get wet up
And end up on the front page of the Daily News papers
But while crooks dressed in Brooks and behind desks in skyscrapers
And I never bought no sh**, but then I never took no sh**
I'm a kleptomaniac, I think I got a f**in' habit
So lick shot to all the boroughs and ghettos across the nation
Other states who could relate get bullet proof appreciation
Cause
