[Kool G. New York, New York, the that never sleeps Bodies, in white sheets, are layin in the streets Shit deep, as we creep up the block by the kids slangin rocks and holdin glocks stolen the cops to get props You gotta split a top, on the or get plugged in mug, from a slug, by your competitor echo throughout the city like thunder, no wonder Another brother six feet You know it ain't no when the streetlights are broken So keep your eyes open, or get ready for a, smokin out of line, I hope you got your nine gun son The and Wess', you better press 9-1-1 (word up) or a run for it there's too many to tackle The Big Apple'll put your ass on ice like a So even though I rap I gots to strapped act up I back up (PI-YAH) I bust a cap your fuckin hat Don't even with them hoes, the swinger that you chose just might be down with the foes, the shadow knows And ain't no lollipop, lollipop over here only the pops (BOOM) Now just sit back and watch the bodies The younger gunmen got the bigger runnin The shorties (what) the shorties (what) the are comin to push a nigga wig back, and his ass flat on his back The motherfuckin ghetto knows, and like that
[Kool G. headlines, another nigga dead Six to the body and fo' to the the red bitch in the bed full of lead A drug-related case and now the place is filled with the shack, disclouse 'bout two kilos of dope Two ounces of coke's in the pocket of his coat So, brother caught the ultimate surprise with blown out brains, to drop stains on his Dazed as I sit back and watch the two news his family goin through all the boo-hoos You lose, an Ill Street, the Blues are gettin deeper Nothin left in the except for him, the Grim Reaper Police are takin ? snapshots, scoop up some Pull out a file on a juvenile of mugshots The knew he fell victim to laws on the street So they just, out the white sheets, to cover up the dead meat Seal off the area with yellow tape, the white around the body now the party has to motivate One more outlaw, was murdered on the for the green at the age of seventeen
