I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y
|
{"...down in New York City"}
|
Yeah, no fear, no love, no pity
|
Where everybody's attitude is shi-.. on the transit
|
Listen, in the hood where the mixtapes bang
|
They'll snatch your chain if you're not - {"down in New York City"}
|
Where people never sleep, the sun could always hide
|
The place where Pun, JMJ, and Big ain't died
|
No, they're still alive through the sounds of the street
|
Violate and get your ass beat - {"down in New York City"}
|
Yeah, I rep the West because I'm from out there
|
Still shop in 125 or the Albee Square
|
If you're askin me to choose the two, don't compare
|
Still find me anywhere gettin - {"down in New York City"}
|
|
Five hours, the flight was rough
|
Scared of heights but don't never get high enough
|
LAX to JFK, my bird at the baggage claim
|
waitin when I touch - {"down in New York City"}
|
Got my mind runnin miles a minute
|
Got my eyes on the prize, backseat I'm sittin (yeah)
|
Only been twenty minutes since the plane was towed-in
|
Damn~! She's already goin - {"down in New York City"}
|
(Whoa! Keep up...) Yeah, watchin the lights
|
Cop paged, dropped her off (Washington Heights)
|
Back to midtown, check in, hit the night
|
We gettin right, we steppin out - {"down in New York City"}
|
I gets busy, call Alchemist (YO!)
|
Town on smash, ain't nobody doubtin us

Don't ever try to lay me down - {"down in New York City"}

We gets busy..

{"Thought you knew how we do it" - [Mack 10]}

|
And my closet lookin like Bobbito shit
|
But I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y
|
{"New York City"} {"down in New York City"}
|
|
If I have to choose a coast I have to choose the West
|
I was born out there, so don't go there
|
But you should see my peace in the East
|
Cookin rice and beans in the East - {"down in New York City"}
|
(Don't burn that rice..) In the air, yeah they breed hustlers
|
Short attention span, no shortage of customers
|
Hardest workers in the world, called servicers
|
Park Ave. purchases - {"down in New York City"} (Cop that right there, that's mine)
|
I wrote "Worst Comes to Worst" here
|
Was one of my best days before my worst fears
|
Before HeadQCourterz rest in peace
|
Spend a week up in D&D - {"down in New York City"}
|
Yeah I found it, New York none liver
|
Got work to move, my dogs are cab drivers
|
So many heroes passed at Ground Zero
|
And y'all rebounding - {"down in New York City"}
|
|
[Chorus {cuts by DJ Revolution}:]
|
We gets busy..
|
{"New York is still the same" - [Royal Flush]}
|
{"Thought you knew how we do it" - [Mack 10]}
|
And I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y
|
{"Representin'" "West Coast" - [W.C.]}
|
But I'm - {"down in New York City"}
|
Yeah, the best from the West
|
Born from a queen in the East
|
God bless your soul, rest in peace
|
And I'm from C-A, L-I, F-L-Y
|
{"Representin'" "West Coast" - [W.C.]}
|
{"New York City"} {"down in New York City"}
|
|
No fear, no love, no pity
|
Where everybody's attitude is shi-.. on the transit
|
Listen, in the hood where the mixtapes bang
|
They'll snatch your chain if you're not - {"down in New York City"}
|
Where people never sleep, the sun could always hide
|
The place where ODB and Scott La Rock ain't died
|
No, they're still alive through the sounds of the street
|
Violate and get your ass beat - {"down in New York City"}
|
Yeah, I rep the West because I'm from out there
|
Still in 8th Street and Broadway coppin a pair
|
If you're askin me to choose the two, don't compare
|
You still find me anywhere gettin - {"down in New York City"}
