Yonkers Tale [Intro]
[Intro]
Whoa
Down on the corner
[Verse]
This is the north part of Yonkers, their home
A whole world unto itself
You could get to any borough in thirty minutes from here
It might as well be three thousand miles away
Over there, that's Alexander Street Precinct
The sounds of the sirens fill the neighborhood (Hear the sirens fill the air)
It was around 1997
L-O-X was the sound of the street
Felt like there was a Bad Boy in every corner back then
Where the time had gone?
Mike Tyson was about to fight Holyfield for the heavyweight title
Tyson was that n***a, word up
Pops used to sneak us into the gambling spot to watch the fight on pay-per-view
That's Gettys Square
That's where everything went down at
I'll talk to y'all 'bout that later
Over there, that's the hill
That's where we got raided at, cops bagged us
The little red house
59 Chestnut Street, second floor
That's the lookout stoop
Ayo, when shit was moving slow at the spot
All you would hear is...
