Blizzard of 1996 Lyrics

The city’s so chill

The city’s so chill

The city’s so chill

I was born in '92 the blizzard was in '96

It's was a cold New York night and this kid lost his life

Up there on the Blvd, shot em down with no regard

A cold New York night when this kid lost his life

Up there on the avenue, no witnesses as usual

A cold New York night and this kid lost his life

It was a Cold New York night, this kid lost his life

The cities full of theives and the addicts

And the ozzies and the ratchets

I'm like let me grab my jacket

Such a cold New York night

It was a New York night, Rod was on the way home

So much beef in the street, probably should have stayed home

His baby mother trippin', straight blown up his phone

He's thinking to himself, Dam, what the hell is going on

He picks up the phone

Shorty starts panicking

Said his son is on the porch, stiff as a manikin

He's thinking to himself, his son’s life can’t be over

They hit him hours ago, It snowed and it froze over

He’s only 16 so it’s kinda confusing

So much beef in the street, he don’t know who did the shooting

He’s dazed heart broken cuz he knows he should have moved 'em

He pulls up to his crib and his son is not moving

It's was a cold New York night and this kid lost his life

Up there on the Blvd, shot em down with no regard

A cold New York night when this kid lost his life

Up there on the avenue, no witnesses as usual

A cold New York night and this kid lost his life

It was a Cold New York night, this kid lost his life

The cities full of theives and the addicts

And the ozzies and the ratchets

I'm like let me grab my jacket

Such a cold New York night

It was cold New York night and Pac was in the city

Headed to the studio, bout to link with Biggie

Known each other for a while, they was both coming up

Big is on the radio now, He’s blowing up

Seen em thru the window, "Yo Big Im coming up"

Headed for the elevator jack boys shot him up

Got em to the hospital in a New York Minute

Got better and drop Hit Em Up cuz he thought big did it

Who Shot Ya, separate the weak from the obso'

Everything getting hit up like how Tommy killed Proctor

An eye for an eye man that's how we both live

We know who killed Tupac but we don’t know who killed Big

It's was a cold New York night and this kid lost his life

Up there on the Blvd, shot em down with no regard

A cold New York night when this kid lost his life

Up there on the avenue, no witnesses as usual

A cold New York night and this kid lost his life

It was a Cold New York night, this kid lost his life

The cities full of theives and the addicts

And the ozzies and the ratchets

I'm like let me grab my jacket

Such a cold New York night

It was a cold New York night, Sean’s looking for a come up

Ain’t never shot nobody but got good at picking that gun up

Never knew his pops, his uncle treats him like his son

He figured he could take his gun and put it back before the sun up

Now son up, walking the back blocks

Looking for a by stander that he could knock

He spots a guy about the same size walking in a hoodie

Walked up to him from behind and said “Yo what’s goodie”

Give me everything you got, your sneakers and your watch

I’m armed and fully dangerous, don’t get your self popped

His adrenalin kicked in, he’s feels legit

Till he turned around drew a gun back and that was it

It's was a cold New York night and this kid lost his life

Up there on the Blvd, shot em down with no regard

A cold New York night when this kid lost his life

Up there on the avenue, no witnesses as usual

A cold New York night and this kid lost his life

It was a Cold New York night, this kid lost his life

The cities full of theives and the addicts

And the ozzies and the ratchets

I'm like let me grab my jacket

Such a cold New York night
