New York to the heart, but got love for all
Lie and die in the fire, where I learned to ball
Uptown is the place where I lay my dome
On the streets of the Bronx where my fa-mi-ly roam

Hoe damn it, we home, Peter got a nine millimeter
Playa haters can feel the flame from my heater
I never really liked to play a fool like that
But I love to succeed and see foes fall flat

Splat, like Deja Vu
And I got another clip that'll daze y'all crew
I sip Cristal, Dom P, Mo' with pist-al
Just cause I'm pissy, don't mean you should misdoubt

Keep 'em near da fifties and, hundreds all arranged
Anything less than that, you keep the change
Not filthy rich, but ***** I'm barely broke
Blessed with flows that keep you hooked like dope

Friends call me Gunz, sons call me trife
'Cause I'm quick to slide off and slide this **** up in your wife
And that's life, you should learn how to treat her
I guarantee Peter, knows how to eat her

And beat her, *****z in the Bronx call me Lex
'Cause I push a Lex, and I rock a Rolex
And I lounge on Lex', and I love ***
And I wave techs on sets that be tryin' to flex
Like Dex, ***** God rest your soul
But when you're playin' cards for Gunz, it ain't time to fold, ho

New York *****z got crazy game
But outta town *****z is all the same
Brooklyn *****z get crazy loot
That's because when it's beef they ain't scared to shoot

Harlem *****z know how to play
Mack the 600, gettin' crazy pay
*****z outta Queens got **** on lock
Strapped with the glock, runnin' up in yo' spot

But if it wasn't for the Bronx
This rap **** probably never would be going on
So tell me where you from?
Uptown baby, uptown baby
We gets down baby, up for the crown baby

Now if it wasn't for the Bronx
This rap **** probably never would be going on
So tell me where you from?
Uptown baby, uptown baby
We gets down baby, up for the crown baby

Yo, the RM-80, is parked in the lot
Right next to the Mercedes, keep the heat ****ed
For these blocks that are shady, you're crazy if you walk around
Thinking ****'s gravy, stop me? Maybe

I'm livin' life lawless, makin' big investments
On them 8-cl*** flawless, and hoes call us
I'm comfortable like Ri-carro, two quarters of my life
Walkin' roads type narrow, deep thoughts which I abide by

Puffin' high, got my mind's eye, points sharper
Than an arrow gettin' high, keep your eye on the sparrow
Riches like the pharoahe, bought a new five
With the snitches for these hoes, trunk full of ammo

Keep my toast closer than most *****z keep they own shadow
And I strap for my foes like a saddle
I rock stones, other *****z rock gravel
Talk ****? Whatever have you, I'm from Soundview

Bronx most wanted, front get confronted
Playa, we rollin' deep in the one point five hundreds
Like Big I., red eyed, mad blunted
You step outside and get blooded have your whole block flooded

With the Bronx it's a warnin', stormin' guns out
From, dusk 'til dawn and it's on, no doubt
Keep a eye on yo' ***** when I'm roamin' about
And put a eye on yo' lip *****, watch yo' mouth
I'm from the Bronx, wipe yo' feet when you step in my house
'Cause you're a small-time *****, bout a half an ounce now

New York *****z got crazy game
But outta town *****z is all the same
Brooklyn *****z get crazy loot
That's because when it's beef they ain't scared to shoot

Harlem *****z know how to play
Mack the 600, gettin' crazy pay
*****z outta Queens got **** on lock
Strapped with the glock, runnin' up in yo' spot

But if it wasn't for the Bronx
This rap **** probably never would be going on
So tell me where you from?
Uptown baby, uptown baby
We gets down baby, up for the crown baby

Now if it wasn't for the Bronx
This rap **** probably never would be going on
So tell me where you from?
Uptown baby, uptown baby
We gets down baby, up for the crown baby

Shao-lin, play, play on
