Nas
Talk Of New York
Yo

[Verse 1:]
Yo
The trains are New York Veins
The cities a cycle
People are the blood stream
Mean and ice cold
Laid back
Counter clockwise
The dice roll
Yank hats
Gang flags
Plane crash
Ground Zero
No lost angels
Ain't you from my from my man's and them area?
It's good to meet you
Ya man did 20 years for some FILA sneakers right
True
Had the 560 benz
Light blue
Where ed shot himself in the stomach
Smoke the dust
He let the culture culture bust
Back when we took the D train uptown
Shante and her whole crew
Groovy hair style
Yo baby yo baby yo t-shirts
Gold teeth smirks
At mark 125th
Hope the heat work
Few numbers I bagged
Then caught a cab back
To Jamaica Ave by the library
Seen the part of shabazz
[Hook:]
New New York New York York York
(all to those who live in Queens know just what I"m talking)
New New York New York York York
(all to those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talking)
New New York New York York York
(all to those that live in Harlem know just what I'm talking)
New New York New York York York
(all to those from South Bronx know just what I'm talking)

[Verse 2:]
Skate Key
Empire USA
Rooftop
2 O'clock
Skates off break north
To the rink
Minks
Springfield in Newark
The 6 borough Jerz
Car jack city
The GW bridge
The Coop City
Popo's hot
Glocks in your Benzy box
Stash
And we move fast
Dropped off Miss Pretty
Shakes her ass to the building
Knowing I just killed it
Dudes in front of her door blocks her entrance
Asking her "who she been with?"
She laughs "mind ya business"
Tinted windows
Pop dutches with box cutters
Drop brothers off at comstock to see locked brothers
Hick town up in New York State
Jakes
Hate a black New York face
Jumping out the phantom with the Baps
Planet of the Apes
With the hammers on her waist
Gorillas in the tristate of
[Hook:]

[Verse 3:]
It dont matter if I been out of town
Cigar lounge
Doing rounds of tequila
Soon as I touch down
In NYC streets
The heat is on
The Talk
Who said what
I catch up on
The New Teflon Don
Who got they death bond
Who still stable
Where beef got squash at the round table
Who still holding it
Who hanging with snitches
Couple of Zulu's from back in the days who still up in clinton
No more hand shakes fake arm swing
See if your flinching
Need to hold something thats mention in every n***a sentence
When I get it you got it
D's went up in the project
Bail a couple of homies out
No doubt
Ferrari's in the summer
When its the hummer
Or the turtle top band satellite
Spilling drinks
Hitting potholes with savage types
Club 17 marque
The team flash
Next day hit the spas and the steam bath
Knock out this business
Do some promo
Make paper in the grind capital
Sign a graph then hit the hood
See the folks reminisce on how it was
In the most powerful city that i love NEW YORK
