[Intro]
J West Beats
Uh, uh, I'm from Brooklyn, n***a
Melvoni

[Verse 1]
I'm from a place where we fightin' to survive
A concrete jungle, where the demons come alive
Under the rubbles, where we live a life of crime
Where you gotta knuckle for your shit not to become mine
I live in a expensive city with no money
Where you gotta hustle and grind hard for every penny
Skip school every day 'cause this is the shit that you can't study
You lookin' for a come up, if you find one you'll be lucky
And if you do, n***as bring you back down
If you gotta fight, fight, n***a don't back down
And don't trust nobody, they'll leave you assed out
Let 'em know yo' body, ain't no going back now
In the night time, it's daylight, 'cause the lights shine
'Til your eyes blind and you don't see nothin', you ain't see it comin'
Ever since a youngin' I was told I wouldn't be nothin'
But n***a, fuck it

[Chorus]
I got a hunnid n***as hating on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
I got a hunnid prisons waiting on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
I got bitches setting drops on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
White people callin' cops on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
[Verse 2]
Where you from? What's your jack? Who you know?
What you doin' over here? Better know, how to act
Better not be movin' scared
And you better know how to share
No frontin', it ain't nothin' for me to put you in the air
Seeing people make me nervous, so I'm clutchin' my pole
And that's just how I came up, I learned before four years old
N***as just grimy, all these lights block out the stars
They don't wanna see you shinin', n***a ain't no complaining
So I don't wanna see you whinin'
I might step in with my Timb's on
Had to grow up faster lil' feet turn into a big stomp
Rocket in my pocket, got me feelin' like I'm Kim Jong-Un
Pull up to your door, and I'm like, ding dong, boom
And that's word to my mother
N***as could get smacked up
Even NYPD, him and all his back up
I'ma spank a n***a so I might throw on these black ups
Who you bank with n***a?
'Cause I'm lookin' for a come up

[Chorus]
I got a hunnid n***as hating on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
I got a hunnid prisons waiting on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
I got bitches setting drops on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
White people callin' cops on me
N***a, I'm from New York (New York)
[Outro]
New York, New York, New York, New York
I got a hunnid n***as hating
N***a, I'm from New York
New York, New York, New York, New York
