Brooklyn Harlem World (Welcome to New York City

Welcome to New York City)

I'm a B K brawler

Marcy projects hallway loiterer

Pure coke copper get your order up

I bring em to Baltimore in the floor to splore

It's gonna cost you more if I gotta get em to Florida

Rugged game attender

With the bent pole on the sidewalk with the tin plates on the fender

I ain't hard to find you catch me frontin center

At the Knick game big chain and all my splender

Match the spike and the pen left to write

I own Madison Square catch me at the fight

But damn once again if you pan left at the ice

If you the man that write checks with the hand that don't write

I go off the head when I'm rambling on the mic

And I go off the feds when I'm srambling at night

And if It's

Off the set I brought hammers to the fight

But we from New York City right Cam

Welcome to New York City welcome to New York City

Welcome to New York City welcome to New York City

It don't matter if you three feet or eight-one

You'll get eight from me nine and straight blown

Wig split melon cracked all that on day one

Carry eight guns two in the trunk

Two in the waist two in the ankle two to just spank you

You can jam with them jammers blam with them blammers

It's hot here ask Mase he ran to Atlanta

You think we know what life do make wanna mold the cycle

Drinkers they so delightful blinging with so much ice

In front of sparks body cops Dilano

Block away watch by Gotti and Girvano

It's la costra nostra someone close approach ya

They'll toast ya gopher bread loaf with shofer

Old coke they raise up and snort blayze up ya fort

Midnight pick fights they love a victim

Watch him fore he watch you Killa

Cause New York'll miss me if I'm locked in the penitentary

The judge said "Is this that thug from the kit kat club "

But I got enough chips stacked up to make a bitch to pack up
