Story of NY Lyrics

Story of NY

That's my nigga we lived in the hood he used to come by

Listen to demos i made told me I'm lit a die hard

Showed me some love remember 09 we had some great times

Yea that fella a great guy

Wasn't the richest kid but he wasn't from a poor home too

His daddy abroad he made sure he put on a fly show too

His mama a caterer and she was making some cool dough too

He put me on cool stuff man that's exactly what brothers do

But it went south real fast they running low on cash

His daddy got schizophrenia nothing is moving so they need gas

He is the only son he got two sisters he's breaking bad

But he always that tough guy hurts him but he never crushed

And even in bad times you know God has bigger plans

He played the American lottery and won now he got a bigger chance

To turn it around cause that was a miracle who woulda thought not me

And that the first time that i saw him cry but he did that proudly

Fast forward a year later my nigga he moved to New York

NY in NY he be rocking every cool drop

Sent me flicks from 34th street damn he living the most now

We facetiming holding glasses making a toast now

And yea he never rest he be working on a weekend

Back home he got family to feed still gotta make up and pay rent

All this at 21 no kids but acting a parent

I let him know how proud i am of him even in the midst of mayhem

I scroll through his IG and my nigga bossin it up for real

Glowing through the pain no fakes that's how he be for real

He inspires me everytime we speak on the phone for real

But the last time we spoke he told me somethings for real

He said Kelz I'm in deep shit i been eager to fix up the pieces

Always working hard but chale

You know how small that cheese is

I for get more to sort poppy mommy too dey

Dey rely on me

So when these boys approached with moves couldn't resist i took it on me

Said all they needed be my account alert drop 20 be my own

Too good couldn't say no cause man for stack then come home

Now I'm ducking law enforcement can't tell my last day at home

How i go tell my fam bro cause this go fit break bones

Unfortunately it was the last time me and NY chop it up

Last time i met his little sister told me her brother got 20 years

He ain't seeing the sun in two decades pray that homie holds it up

I pray for his family every day hope they never get swallowed up
