Lyrics

"New York, New York"

Produced by StreetRunner

The Game


[Intro]

Turn the beat up, yeah


[Verse]

New York, New York; wake up LA

Wave hi to the Chi, let's get right today

I heard them lil' niggas takin' their life away

I heard a couple lil' niggas got life today

Is it Farrakhan, Buddha, or Christ today?

She on her knees so she know what it's like to pray

She got religious so she doin' it twice a day

I strap up, no I ain't throwin' dice today

When you got money on yo head it's a price to pay

And it get cold in the hood, put your ice away

They locked Rick Ross up and they ain't give him no bail

But a cracker shoot a whole church up and it's "Oh well"

Oh well? Oh well?

Hang him with a confederate flag in his cell

Let him sit there and rot 'til his body turns to bones

Just remember who casted the first stone

New York, New York; good mornin' LA

Say hi to the Chi, celebrate with the Bay

No hesitation like Steph, shoot it right in your face

Cause I'm a Golden State warrior strapped with a K

How's it land of the free, when we're trapped in a cage?

Some shit just never make sense like Magic and AIDS

Some shit just never make sense like bashin' the gays

Obama must be in the city, it's traffic today

Niggas trappin' today just like back in the day

We like Roc-A-Fella Records, we packagin' yay

And that Dirty Sprite 2 shit slappin' today

We got these niggas boxed in like Cassius Clay

And my feregammo belt where that ratchet stay

Cause the police killing too many blacks today

I wake up in the morning like:"Who gon' pass away?

Who gon' blast today? Who gon' have to pray?"

New York, New York

Good morning L.A. My nigga Hayes blew him and his wife away


[Outro]

This song is dedicated to Stephanie Mosley,

who was murdered from a single gunshot wound

inflicted by her husband, Earl Hayes,

in Los Angeles, California; December 18th, 2014.

I knew Hayes since we were both

signed to Aftermath back in 2005.

And if I can keep it 8 more than 92 with you,

he was a good nigga, I never saw that coming.

My prayers are with Stephanie's entire family,

I am truly and deeply sorry for your loss.
