Yo, you go, you gotta go, you gotta go (G: And aiyyo, what you know, believe the ghetto knows)
[Kool G. New York, New York, the that never sleeps Bodies, covered in white sheets, are in the streets Shit gets deep, as we creep up the block by the slangin rocks and holdin glocks from the cops to get props You gotta split a top, on the or get in your mug, from a slug, by your competitor Gunshots throughout the city like thunder, no wonder Another brother six feet You it ain't no jokin when the streetlights are broken So keep your eyes open, or get ready for a, smokin Step out of line, I hope you got nine gun son The Smith and Wess', you press 9-1-1 (word up) or make a run for it there's too to tackle The Big put your ass on ice like a Snapple So though I rap I gots to stay strapped Niggaz act up I up (PI-YAH) I bust a cap inside fuckin hat Don't even pose with them hoes, the that you chose might be down with the foes, only the shadow knows And ain't no lollipop, lollipop over here only the pops (BOOM) Now sit back and watch the bodies drop The younger gunmen got the bigger runnin The shorties (what) the shorties (what) the are comin to push a nigga wig back, and leave his ass on his back The motherfuckin ghetto knows, and it's that
[Kool G. headlines, another nigga dead Six to the body and fo' to the Followed the red bitch in the bed full of A drug-related case and now the place is filled with Ramshacked the shack, disclouse two kilos of dope Two ounces of coke's in the pocket of his coat So, another brother the ultimate surprise blown out brains, to drop stains on his eyes Dazed as I sit and watch the channel two news Watchin his goin through all the boo-hoos You lose, like an Ill Street, the Blues are gettin Nothin left in the room except for him, the Reaper Police are takin ? snapshots, up some blooddrops out a file on a juvenile child of mugshots The cops he fell victim to laws on the street So they just, pull out the white sheets, to cover up the meat Seal off the with yellow tape, draw the white around the body now the party has to motivate One more outlaw, was murdered on the scene for the at the age of seventeen
[Kool G. Strollin the concrete, packin my heat, walkin the I niggaz pull up, peepin me out the side a black Jeep Six feet deep, that's where I'm if I'm slippin Steady cockin my cause I already got the clip in Now who's the nigga to run up, here they come up the block hardrocks with glocks rollin holdin guns up I buck, I buck, and I struck one in the chest Nigga shoulda wore a vest but now his ass is put to But now I got three mo' niggaz, triggers Strays are ricochetin off the bricks, zigga But who got the biggest Who's bustin bigger caps? My BOOM BOOM against they PAP PAP PAPS No haps, G. Rap goin out like a sucker I the shot and dropped another motherfucker Quick, I duck and shit to dodge the comin at me Cause I won't be too happy with a slug my nappy Two more niggaz left, scared to death, but I'm leary Shit gets kinda scary I got bulletholes near me I went between two cars, lettin off the quarter I see another fallin down to the ground Quick I run up on him I don't think that he's dead over his ass I put two more inside his head That's three niggaz down, only got one to go I to send his ass to the gravedigger so I lay low in the cut and wait for to slip up Nearly shot my whole up, I got one more slug to rip up Look over by the GS, see his ass his head out Boom, let the lead out, blew a piece of his brain out the of his head, now he's dead, because he fell face down right on the streets that he dwelled
