One time, one time, that's it, yeah
This the Onyx ****, know what I'm sayin'
Coming out the mother***king crevices
Coming out the ***king cracks like snakes boy
Word to mother

All my *****s in queens and ya don't stop
All my *****s in Brooklyn and ya don't stop
All my *****s in Uptown and ya don't stop
All my *****s in the boogie woogie and ya won't stop
We gonna set this **** New York style

We don't throw gang signs in New York
We just be on some **** in New York
New York City, shiftee low down gritty
You punk *****z yell pity and smell ****ty

NYPD can suck my ****
This is the way we rip **** from the bricks
Walking like a zombie smoking blunts in the lobby
I be rolling with my *****s behind me take 'em off

Attention, ***k all that slippin' and inchin'
I'm rappin' loot snatchin' staying greasy the **** ain't easy
I'm coming raw hide, serious as a 45
The damn streets are eager to take more lives

***k it, it's my home, hate it or appreciate it
It's the tour 8 million story orientated
Designated and made for the real renegade
So I never been afraid to start car, they get paid

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

I'ma stay on my job 'cause that's my adventure
I was bred to be a big gainer who can't contain a placenta
The USG witch make me switch like a skitso
When red rummin' gets so hot but never blow back to the cold spot

If the heat got too much, I'ma slide down south
Outta town 'bout, leave the home or I'll move **** down
On keyed lock, we rock
(All nuthin')

And then New York *****z was pulling your ****
Your **** wasn't right, we known to start **** up
From trends to riots to ruckus
And big enough to ***k up anybody that wanna attack us

And that's 'cause the fire burns are deep
Most of us are peeps-ture New York *****z play for keeps
(Wanna be a part of it, New York is always starting ****)

***k them, I'ma a nasty native
(New Yorker)
The full of **** talker, the dark street walker
Shining in time stalker, bringin' it back to reality

This is for my *****z in NYC, not since '76
Since the knicks won the championships
Hasn't been some more **** like this
So back up get up and *** up and my rap wax sound

My shots ring loud and panic the crowd
(Blow 'em up)
Get up, my sounds downtown
(Hold 'em up)
Gimme everything right now
