Not to Spicy [Broadway sample w/ (LL Cool J)] New Yoooork!, New Yoooork! The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork! New Yoooork!, New Yoooork! The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork! (Cause sleep is the cousin of death) [Verse 1] Let me tell you what's up with all these New York cats They got too rich and lost they grip on rap They let the country boys take over the soundtrack And blow the Superman kid straight off they back Now everybody know where all the flavor is at And if theres any drama, I'll be handlin' that I gotta switch to singles and walk to fall back Late-night conference calls and all that Not the next Denzel, I'm the first LL I remember where I came from, hot since day one Queens in the building, I spank these children For not seeing that I switch styles like chameleon A lot of wanna-be kings but I'm the real one All these cats playing dumb, they know the deal son Use rap like caps, I will peal one And ya reign is over nigga, here it come [Hook 2x] New Yoooork!, New Yoooork! The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork! (Cause sleep is the cousin of death) [Verse 2] Listen party people now here's the situation All these cats is lyin' they have huge imaginations Ain't freestyling, them niggas is free-basing It's like a epidemic the beats they keep wasting Feels like the 80's again, back to basics Hit 'em with the raw shit, niggas is gon' chase it And get addicted to how I spit it I treat my beat like a blunt, lick and split it My shit's wicked, fiends can't forget it Take it in ya lungs, ya done, ya get lifted Too many debates about what Mister Smith did What can I say nigga? God's god I'm gifted But I won't hit you with the same old money rap Cause most of the money rappers need to give you ya money back I'm just ya man next door, sharp hood cat I want the crown back boy, ya don't deserve that! [Hook 2x] New Yoooork!, New Yoooork! The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork! (Cause sleep is the cousin of death) [Verse 3] Just when ya thought that I was calmin' down I pulled a George Bush and I bombed the town I got 'em runnin' for cover, ducking, running around Like L's on the radio, "wow how does it sound?" Never been afraid to set it off on these clowns Especially with all the hyped up trash they puttin' out This is for the cats that consistently hold me down Arguing in barbershops from Queens to Up-Town I went to Hollywood and let 'em borrow the crown But they got too cocky, I'm back to check these clowns I dare one of yall to disrespect me now And I'll die before that happens so inject me now And I'm the best period, fuck pound-for-pound When shit gets serious, I rock the crown Matter of fact, where my real niggas at? I got you, New York is on my back Lets Go! [Hook 2x] New Yoooork!, New Yoooork! The Cityyyy that doesn't sleep, New Yoooork! (Cause sleep is the cousin of death)
