The city that never sleeps
Buzzing around the clock
Army of ants building its mounds
Lights , the clamour the noise
Of a thousand bottles of coke
Crushed to the blow of car saying
get out my way!
That was the new york I knew
Civil disobedience peace unknow
Hassadic jews in williamsburg
Blacks in crown heights
Silver lined with alcohol crossed racial line in two separate folds
Light spiff a rude awaken gavo gato was born in yesterdays line
That was the new york I knew
Tripping at the night sky
Placing my right hand on my chest
I pledge allegiance to the family
Who protected me
Who made things right
Who guarded my streets
Who showed me the ropes
Who played stick ball in the streets
Who made headlines ut umm
Fulton fish market
Need I say more
Lights out forgetabout it
That was the new york I knew
Waterfall of a birmingham campaign
Defiant children smiling, laughing
To a Foce of a thousand drops of the cold crest
Hiding in its shine from the sweltering heat of a uknow culprit
Little minds filed with dreams of making it big
Unknow traits of the favorite bodega buzy with a crew of 66
Man in white and two piegons
Minds licking their icey watching as the man in right grabs the piegeons and lets free they go
years pass several wounded
my cherry filled body lays on the ground cherry icey spilled
That was the new york I knew
Army of ants rule
King bloombito
Fascist at heart
Ticket here ticket there
Toll here
Street food karts civil disobeidnace.
Pretzsls no more
Carrots and peas on a stick
Open pump is a hydrogen bomb
Breathe
And filled with a thousand bullets
This is new york now!
Good bye new york!
