Raekwon - NEW YORK CITY - Troy Ave verse lyrics

Ayo times is hard But we get thru em And even tho its crime involved We had to do em By any means Malcolm x marks the spot I went from riding bikes to riding through in a drop The road to success for me Was real gritty Wasn't no stress for me Dont feel pity Life is a b**h and she sure ain't pretty But ima do me anyway n***a Cause im from New York City I break bread Ribs 100 dollar bills A young prodigy when it come to Drug Deals In New York i get blood money Dirty Cash Brought my matte black jeep I Use to skip out on cabs Went from giving no dough To given limos To get to shows Either way I'm Driven The sh** Shows Spit flows Like boat sick hoes Yacht master Rolex watch above my moe Drinking champagne out da bottle Young Crisco Poppin Hop in Lets politic ditto Same n***as sayin time to get this money Been the same n***as saying that for years Still hungry New Discussion New York Artist wanna be Southern The city lost So outta towners find themselves frontin There was Biggie, Jay Z now Troy Ave's after Kendrick Lamar jus a weirdo rapper
